Optimal binning of X-ray spectra and response matrix design
J. S. Kaastra, J. A. M. Bleeker
A theoretical framework is developed to estimate the optimal binning of X-ray spectra. We derived expressions for the optimal bin size for model spectra as well as for observed dat…
Proper Motions of H-alpha filaments in the Supernova Remnant RCW 86
E. A. Helder, J. Vink, A. Bamba +4
We present a proper motion study of the eastern shock-region of the supernova remnant RCW 86 (MSH 14-63, G315.4-2.3), based on optical observations carried out with VLT/FORS2 in 20…
Measuring the cosmic ray acceleration efficiency of a supernova remnant
E. A. Helder, J. Vink, C. G. Bassa +7
Cosmic rays are the most energetic particles arriving at earth. Although most of them are thought to be accelerated by supernova remnants, the details of the acceleration process a…
Clusters of galaxies: beyond the thermal view
J. S. Kaastra, A. M. Bykov, S. Schindler +13
We present the work of an international team at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern that worked together to review the current observational and theoretical st…
Constraining supernova models using the hot gas in clusters of galaxies
J. de Plaa, N. Werner, J. A. M. Bleeker +3
The hot Intra-Cluster Medium (ICM) in clusters of galaxies is a very large repository of metals produced by supernovae. We aim to accurately measure the abundances in the ICM of ma…
The X-ray synchrotron emission of RCW 86 and the implications for its age
Jacco Vink, Johan Bleeker, Kurt van der Heyden +3
We report here X-ray imaging spectroscopy observations of the northeastern shell of the supernova remnant RCW 86 with Chandra and XMM-Newton. Along this part of the shell the domin…
