A new X-ray mission to measure the power spectrum of fluctuations in the Universe
X. Barcons, A. C. Fabian
We propose a new, simple, dedicated X-ray mission to measure the power spectrum of density fluctuations in the Universe, by accurately mapping the X-ray background on the whole sky…
ROSAT HRI observations of the Local Group galaxies IC 10, NGC 147 and NGC 185
W. N. Brandt, M. J. Ward, A. C. Fabian +1
We report on pointed X-ray observations of IC 10, NGC 147 and NGC 185 made with the ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI). These are three Local Group galaxies that have never been pr…
AXJ1749+684: a narrow emission-line galaxy with a flat X-ray spectrum
K. Iwasawa, A. C. Fabian, W. N. Brandt +2
We report the serendipitous detection of an X-ray source, AXJ1749+684, with the ASCA Gas Imaging Spectrometer. AXJ1749+684 is identified with a LINER/starburst-type spiral galaxy K…
A multi-wavelength study of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15
C. S. Reynolds, M. J. Ward, A. C. Fabian +1
We present a multiwaveband spectroscopic study of the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. New optical spectra from the Anglo-Australian Telescope are presented which clearly show…
Two-temperature coronae in active galactic nuclei
T. Di Matteo, E. G. Blackman, A. C. Fabian
We show that coronal magnetic dissipation in thin active sheets that sandwich standard thin accretion disks in active galactic nuclei may account for canonical electron temperature…
AGN predictions for the Hubble Deep Field and the X-ray background
O. Almaini, A. C. Fabian
We estimate the number of AGN among the galaxies in the Hubble Deep Field (HDF). The recent discovery of a class of X-ray luminous narrow emission-line galaxies has provided a poss…
