X-ray evolution in the ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample
H. Ebeling, S. W. Allen, C. S. Crawford +5
We present the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of the ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS), an X-ray selected, flux limited sample of 172 clusters of galaxies at compil…
X-ray detection of SN1988Z with the ROSAT HRI
A. C. Fabian, R. Terlevich
We report the detection of SN1988Z in X-rays with the ROSAT High Resolution Imager. The inferred X-ray luminosity of about $10^{41}\ergps$ can be well explained by assuming that th…
The spectra of accretion discs in low-mass X-ray binaries
R. R. Ross, A. C. Fabian
We present self-consistent models for the radiative transfer in Shakura-Sunyaev accretion discs in bright low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB). Our calculations include the full effects…
ASCA and ROSAT observations of the QSF3 field: the X-ray background in the 0.1--7 keV band
L. -W. Chen, A. C. Fabian, K. C. Gendreau
The X-ray background (XRB) from 0.1 to 7 keV has been studied using high spectral and spatial resolution data from the ASCA SIS and ROSAT PSPC. Analysing both the diffuse backgroun…
ROSAT PSPC observations of Cygnus-A : X-ray spectra of the cooling flow and hot spots
C. S. Reynolds, A. C. Fabian
We present a {\it ROSAT} Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) observation of the powerful radio galaxy Cygnus-A. The X-ray emission in the {\it ROSAT} band is dominated b…
The accretion luminsoity of a massive black hole in an elliptical galaxy
A. C. Fabian, M. J. Rees
Most large elliptical galaxies should now host a massive black hole leftover from an earlier quasar phase. Such galaxies also have an extensive hot gaseous halo. Here we consider w…
