project: III. Gas mass fraction shape in high redshift clusters
Rachida Sadat, Alain Blanchard, Sebastien C. Vauclair +10
We study the gas mass fraction, behavior in project. The typical shape of high redshift galaxy clusters follows the global shape inf…
An XMM and Chandra view of massive clusters of galaxies to z=1
L. R. Jones, B. J. Maughan, H. Ebeling +7
The X-ray properties of a sample of high redshift (z>0.6), massive clusters observed with XMM-Newton and Chandra are described, including two exceptional systems. One, at z=0.89, h…
In-orbit calibration of vignetting in XMM-Newton EPIC
D. H. Lumb
We briefly describe the in orbit measurements of the mirror vignetting, using observations of SNR G21.5-09. The instrument features which complicate these measurements are briefly…
XMM-Newton EPIC in orbit background
D. H. Lumb
We briefly describe the methods used in compiling a set of high galactic latitude background data. The characteristics and limitations of the data which affect their use as a templ…
XMM-Newton calibration - an overview
D. H. Lumb
This paper introduces the articles that describe detailed aspects of the XMM-Newton calibration. The unique calibration issues of XMM-Newton are highlighted. The original calibrati…
Timing study of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125
Silvia Zane, Frank Haberl, Mark Cropper +4
We present a combined analysis of XMM-Newton, Chandra and Rosat observations of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125, spanning a total period of \sim 7 years. We develop a max…
