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 (cross)-calibration
M. G. F. Kirsch, B. Altieri, B. Chen +7
ESA's large X-ray space observatory XMM-Newton is in its fifth year of operations. We give a general overview of the status of calibration of the five X-ray instruments and the Opt…
XMM-Newton observations of the late-stage merger-remnant galaxies NGC 3921 and NGC 7252
L. A. Nolan, T. J. Ponman, A. M. Read +1
Using the high sensitivity of XMM, we have studied the X-ray emission of the two proto-typical late-stage merger remnants, NGC 3921 and NGC 7252. In the case of NGC 7252, this is c…
X-raying Chemical Evolution and Galaxy Formation in The Antennae
G. Fabbiano, A. Baldi, A. R. King +6
We present the integrated 411 ks {\it Chandra} ACIS-S exposure of the Antennae galaxies (NGC 4038/39). Besides a rich population of point-like sources, this spectacular image revea…
The XMM Large Scale Structure (XMM-LSS) Survey: X-ray analysis and first results
A. M. Read
Thanks to its unprecedented sensitivity and large field of view, XMM occupies a leading position as a survey instrument. The XMM-LSS survey is a medium-deep large-area X-ray survey…
