Hα imaging for BeXRBs in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Grigoris Maravelias, Andreas Zezas, Vallia Antoniou +2
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) hosts a large number of high-mass X-ray binaries, and in particular of Be/X-ray Binaries (BeXRBs; neutron stars orbiting OBe-type stars), offering…
Optical spectra of 5 new Be/X-ray Binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud and the link of the supergiant B[e] star LHA 115-S 18 with an X-ray source
Grigoris Maravelias, Andreas Zezas, Vallia Antoniou +1
The Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) is well known to harbor a large number of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs). The identification of their optical counterparts provides information o…
The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud: The X-ray point-source catalogue
R. Sturm, F. Haberl, W. Pietsch +8
Local-Group galaxies provide access to samples of X-ray source populations of whole galaxies. The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) completely covers the bar an…
Supersoft X-rays reveal a classical nova in the M 31 globular cluster Bol 126
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +17
[Abridged] Classical novae (CNe) represent the main class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. Only three confirmed novae and th…
The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud: Discovery of the 11.866 s Be/X-ray binary pulsar XMMUJ004814.0-732204 (SXP11.87)
R. Sturm, F. Haberl, M. J. Coe +12
One of the goals of the XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud is the study of the Be/X-ray binary population. During one of our first survey observations a bright new tra…
X-ray monitoring of classical novae in the central region of M 31. II. Autumn and winter 2007/2008 and 2008/2009
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +7
[Abridged] Classical novae (CNe) represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. We performed a dedicated monitor…
Star formation history and X-ray binary populations: the case of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Vallia Antoniou, Andreas Zezas, Despina Hatzidimitriou +1
Using Chandra, XMM-Newton, and optical photometric catalogs we study the young X-ray binary (XRB) populations of the Small Magellanic Cloud. We find that the Be/X-ray binaries (Be-…
Optical spectroscopy of 20 Be/X-ray Binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Vallia Antoniou, Despina Hatzidimitriou, Andreas Zezas +1
We present a large sample (20 in total) of optical spectra of Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) High-Mass X-ray Binaries obtained with the 2dF spectrograph at the Anglo-Australian Teles…
Recent discoveries of supersoft X-ray sources in M 31
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +9
Classical novae (CNe) have recently been reported to represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central area of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. This paper pre…
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…
