Chandra X-Ray Observatory Observations of the Globular Cluster M71
R. F. Elsner, C. O. Heinke, H. N. Cohn +12
We observed the nearby, low-density globular cluster M71 (NGC 6838) with the Chandra X-ray Observatory to study its faint X-ray populations. Five X-ray sources were found inside th…
Swift XRT Observations of the Possible Dark Galaxy VIRGOHI 21
Massimiliano Bonamente, Douglas Swartz, Martin Weisskopf +1
\swift \xrt observations of the \hi line source \VV were performed on April 22 and April 26, 2008 for a total exposure time of 9.2ks. This is the first pointed X-ray observation of…
The prospects for X-ray polarimetry and its potential use for understanding neutron stars
M. C. Weisskopf, R. F. Elsner, D. Hanna +4
We review the state of the art for measuring the X-ray polarization of neutron stars. We discuss how valuable precision measurements of the degree and position angle of polarizatio…
A Chandra Search for Coronal X Rays from the Cool White Dwarf GD 356
Martin C. Weisskopf, Kinwah Wu, Virginia Trimble +4
We report observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of the single, cool, magnetic white dwarf GD 356. For consistent comparison with other X-ray observations of single white…
Synchrotron Radiation from Outer Space and the Chandra X-Ray Observatory
Martin C. Weisskopf
The universe provides numerous extremely interesting astrophysical sources of synchrotron X radiation. The Chandra X-ray Observatory and other X-ray missions provide powerful probe…
The role of project science in the Chandra X-ray Observatory
Stephen L. O'Dell, Martin C. Weisskopf
The Chandra X-ray Observatory, one of NASA's Great Observatories, has an outstanding record of scientific and technical success. This success results from the efforts of a team com…
