In-orbit performance of the EPIC-MOS detectors on XMM-Newton
S. Sembay, A. Abbey, B. Altieri +6
XMM-Newton was launched into space on a highly eccentric 48 hour orbit on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is now in its fifth year of operation and has been an outstanding success,…
XMM-Newton observations of seven soft X-ray excess QSOs
K. L. Page, N. Schartel, M. J. L. Turner +1
XMM-Newton observations of seven QSOs are presented and the EPIC spectra analysed. Five of the AGN show evidence for Fe K-alpha emission, with three being slightly better fitted by…
XMM-Newton observations of 3C 273
K. L. Page, M. J. L. Turner, C. Done +4
A series of nine XMM-Newton observations of the radio-loud quasar 3C 273 are presented, concentrating mainly on the soft excess. Although most of the individual observations do not…
SIMBOL-X : a new generation hard X-ray telescope
P. Ferrando, M. Arnaud, B. Cordier +17
SIMBOL-X is a hard X-ray mission, operating in the 0.5-70 keV range, which is proposed by a consortium of European laboratories for a launch around 2010. Relying on two spacecraft…
Simultaneous observations of the quasar 3C 273 with INTEGRAL, XMM-Newton and RXTE
T. J. -L. Courvoisier, V. Beckmann, G. Bourban +15
INTEGRAL has observed the bright quasar 3C 273 on 3 epochs in January 2003 as one of the first observations of the open programme. The observation on January 5 was simultaneous wit…
Complex X-ray spectral variability in Mkn 421 observed with XMM-Newton
S. Sembay, R. Edelson, A. Markowitz +2
The bright blazar Mkn 421 has been observed four times for uninterrupted durations of ~ 9 - 13 hr during the performance verification and calibration phases of the XMM-Newton missi…
