Taxonomy of High Mass X-ray binaries from a historical perspective
Pablo Reig
High-mass X-ray binaries serve as important laboratories for studying a broad range of fundamental astrophysical questions. These systems host two distinct types of astrophysical o…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
Testing particle acceleration in blazar jets with continuous high-cadence optical polarization observations
Ioannis Liodakis, Sebastian Kiehlmann, Alan P. Marscher +44
Variability can be the pathway to understanding the physical processes in astrophysical jets, however, the high-cadence observations required to test particle acceleration models a…
The deep XMM-Newton Survey of M 31
H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +5
Aims. M 31 has been completely imaged for the first time obtaining a luminosity lower limit ~10^35 erg s-1 in the 0.2-4.5 keV band. Our XMM-Newton EPIC survey combines archival obs…
Spectroscopy of the bright optical counterparts of X-ray sources in the direction of M 31. II
Paolo Bonfini, Despina Hatzidimitriou, Wolfgang Pietsch +1
A recent survey of the Local Group spiral galaxy M 31 with XMM-Newton yielded a large number of X-ray sources. This is the second in a series of papers with the aim of identifying…
A deep XMM-Newton survey of M 31
H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl
The deep homogeneous survey of the large Local-Group spiral galaxy M 31 is a milestone project for X-ray astronomy, as it allows a detailed X-ray inventory of an archetypal low-sta…
Spectroscopy of the brightest optical counterparts of X-ray sources in the direction of M~31 and M~33
D. Hatzidimitriou, W. Pietsch, Z. Misanovic +2
Recent surveys of the Local Group spiral Galaxies M31 and M33 with XMM-Newton yielded a large number of X-ray sources. As part of the effort to identify and classify the objects re…
Does GRS 1915+105 exhibit "canonical" black-hole states?
P. Reig, T. Belloni, M. van der Klis
We have analysed RXTE data of the superluminal source GRS 1915+105 in order to investigate if, despite its extreme variability, it also exhibits the canonical source states that ch…
