An X-ray Data Primer: What I Wish I Knew When Starting X-ray Astronomy
Nicholas P. Lee, Jonathan C. McDowell, Evan D. Tingle +1
This guide is intended for astronomers new to X-ray astronomy. It provides a brief overview of the data products typically encountered by the user and highlights analysis considera…
SAOImageDS9: An Essential Tool for Astronomical Exploration
Antonella Fruscione, Kenny Glotfelty, William Joye +1
SAOImageDS9 (DS9) is an open-source, cross-platform application for the visualization and analysis of astronomical data. Developed at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, DS9…
CIAO: Chandra's Data Analysis System for X-Ray Astronomy and Beyond
Antonella Fruscione, Jonathan McDowell, Douglas Burke +13
The Chandra Interactive Analysis of Observations (CIAO) software, developed by the Chandra X-ray Center, has been the data analysis package for the Chandra X-ray Observatory since…
The Luminosity Function of X-ray Sources in Spiral Galaxies
A. H. Prestwich, R. E. Kilgard, F. Primini +2
X-ray sources in spiral galaxies can be approximately classified into bulge and disk populations. The bulge (or hard) sources have X-ray colors which are consistent with Low Mass X…
The Chandra survey of the SMC "Bar": II. Optical counterparts of X-ray sources
Vallia Antoniou, Andreas Zezas, Despina Hatzidimitriou +1
We present the most likely optical counterparts of 113 X-ray sources detected in our Chandra survey of the central region of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on the OGLE-II a…
The Spectral Energy Distributions of Red 2MASS AGN
Joanna Kuraszkiewicz, Belinda J. Wilkes, Gary Schmidt +7
We present infrared (IR) to X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 44 red AGN selected from the 2MASS survey on the basis of their red J-K color (>2 mag) and later obse…
Chandra Observations of Arp 220: The Nuclear Source
D. L. Clements, J. C. McDowell, S. Shaked +5
We present the first results from 60ks of observations of Arp 220 using the ACIS-S instrument on Chandra. We report the detection of several sources near the galaxy's nucleus, incl…
Identifying X-ray Sources in Bulge and Disk Galaxies from X-ray Colors
A . H. Prestwich, J. A. Irwin, R. E. Kilgard +4
The X-ray populations of Local group galaxies have been classified in detail by Einstein, ROSAT and ASCA revealing a mix of binaries, supernova remnants and HII regions. However, t…
The Redshift of the Optical Transient Associated with GRB 010222
Saurabh Jha, Michael A. Pahre, Peter M. Garnavich +6
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) 010222 is the brightest GRB detected to date by the BeppoSAX satellite. Prompt identification of the associated optical transient (OT) allowed for spectro…
