Chandra Survey of Nearby Galaxies: The Catalog
Rui She, Luis C. Ho, Hua Feng
We searched in the public archive of the Chandra X-ray Observatory as of March 2016 and assembled a sample of 719 galaxies within 50 Mpc with ACIS observations available. By cross-…
Testing the axion-conversion hypothesis of 3.5 keV emission with polarization
Yan Gong, Xuelei Chen, Hua Feng
The recently measured 3.5 keV line in a number of galaxy clusters, the Andromeda galaxy (M31) and the Milky Way (MW) center can be well accounted for by a scenario in which dark ma…
Electron Track Reconstruction and Improved Modulation for Photoelectric X-ray Polarimetry
Tenglin Li, Ming Zeng, Hua Feng +7
The key to photoelectric X-ray polarimetry is the determination of the emission direction of photoelectrons. Because of the low mass of an electron, the ionisation trajectory is no…
The Deep and Transient Universe in the SVOM Era: New Challenges and Opportunities - Scientific prospects of the SVOM mission
J. Wei, B. Cordier, S. Antier +77
To take advantage of the astrophysical potential of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), Chinese and French astrophysicists have engaged the SVOM mission (Space-based multi-band astronomical V…
Testing multilayer-coated polarizing mirrors for the LAMP soft X-ray telescope
D. Spiga, B. Salmaso, R. She +13
The LAMP (Lightweight Asymmetry and Magnetism Probe) X-ray telescope is a mission concept to measure the polarization of X-ray astronomical sources at 250 eV via imaging mirrors th…
Nature of the soft ULX in NGC 247: super-Eddington outflow and transition between the supersoft and soft ultraluminous regimes
Hua Feng, Lian Tao, Philip Kaaret +1
We report on XMM-Newton/Chandra/Swift/HST observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in NGC 247, which is found to make transitions between the supersoft ultraluminous (S…
