High precision X-ray logN-logS distributions: implications for the obscured AGN population

S. Mateos, R. S. Warwick, F. J. Carrera +13

We have constrained the extragalactic source count distributions over a broad range of X-ray fluxes and in various energy bands to test whether the predictions from X-ray backgroun…

Evolution of tidal disruption candidates discovered by XMM-Newton

P. Esquej, R. D. Saxton, S. Komossa +8

It has been demonstrated that active galactic nuclei are powered by gas accretion onto supermassive black holes located at their centres. The paradigm that the nuclei of inactive g…

The XMM-Newton Serendipitous Survey. V. The Second XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue

M. G. Watson, A. C. Schröder, D. Fyfe +47

Aims: Pointed observations with XMM-Newton provide the basis for creating catalogues of X-ray sources detected serendipitously in each field. This paper describes the creation and…

Discovery of superstrong, fading, iron line emission and double-peaked Balmer lines of the galaxy SDSSJ0952+2143 - the light echo of a huge flare

S. Komossa, H. Zhou, T. Wang +9

We report the discovery of superstrong, fading, high-ionization iron line emission in the galaxy SDSSJ095209.56+214313.3 (SDSSJ0952+2143 hereafter), which must have been caused by…

XMM-Newton slew survey discovery of the nova XMMSL1 J070542.7-381442 (V598 Pup)

A. M. Read, R. D. Saxton, M. A. P. Torres +6

In an attempt to catch new X-ray transients while they are still bright, the data taken by XMM-Newton as it slews between targets is being processed and cross-correlated with other…

The first XMM-Newton slew survey catalogue: XMMSL1

R. D. Saxton, A. M. Read, P. Esquej +3

We report on the production of a large area, shallow, sky survey, from XMM-Newton slews. The great collecting area of the mirrors coupled with the high quantum efficiency of the EP…
