The temperature structure in the core of Sersic 159-03
J. de Plaa, J. S. Kaastra, M. Mendez +6
We present results from a new 120 ks XMM-Newton observation of the cluster of galaxies Sersic 159-03. In this paper we focus on the high-resolution X-ray spectra obtained with the…
High Resolution X-ray Spectroscopic Constraints on Cooling-Flow Models
John R. Peterson, Steven M. Kahn, Frits B. S. Paerels +5
We present XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer observations of X-ray clusters and groups of galaxies. We demonstrate the failure of the standard cooling-flow model to descri…
XMM-Newton Measurements of the Elemental Abundances in the Intracluster Medium
T. Tamura, J. S. Kaastra, J. A. M. Bleeker +1
Based on XMM-Newton observations of a sample of galaxy clusters, we have measured the elemental abundances (mainly O, Si, S, and Fe) and their spatial distributions in the intraclu…
Soft X-ray Spectra of Seyfert 2 Galaxies
Masao Sako, Ali Kinkhabwala, Steven M. Kahn +6
High resolution spectroscopic observations of Seyfert galaxies with Chandra and XMM-Newton allows us to study the detailed ionization and thermal structures of the X-ray absorbing/…
High resolution spectroscopy of nearby AGN
J. S. Kaastra
In this paper the potential of high resolution spectroscopy of nearby AGN with XEUS is discussed. The focus is upon the energy resolution that is needed in order to disentangle the…
X-ray powerful diagnostics for highly-ionized plasmas: He-like ions
D. Porquet, R. Mewe, J. S. Kaastra +2
The calculations of the ratios of the Helium-like ion X-ray lines from C V to Si XIII are revisited in order to apply the results to density, temperature and ionization process dia…
