The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase
Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279
The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
X-ray variability of the HMXB Cen X-3: evidence for inhomogeneous accretion flows
Graciela Sanjurjo-Ferrín, Jose Miguel Torrejón, Konstantin Postnov +3
Cen X-3 is a compact high mass X-ray binary likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two pointed XMM-Newton observat…
Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRAL and Future Directions
Peter Kretschmar, Felix Fürst, Lara Sidoli +48
High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology,…
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the stellar wind in Vela X-1 during a flare
M. Lomaeva, V. Grinberg, M. Guainazzi +8
We present a 130 ks observation of the prototypical wind-accreting, high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 collected with XMM-Newton at orbital phases between 0.12 and 0.28. A stron…
Three discoveries of gamma Cas analogs from dedicated XMM-Newton observations of Be stars
Yael Naze, Christian Motch, Gregor Rauw +5
In the last years, a peculiarity of some Be stars - their association with unusually hard and intense X-ray emission - was shown to extend beyond a mere few cases. In this paper, w…
