Detection of magnetic field in the B2 star Oph A with ESO FORS2
I. Pillitteri, L. Fossati, N. Castro Rodriguez +2
Circumstantial evidence suggests that magnetism and enhanced X-ray emission are likely correlated in early B-type stars: similar fractions of them ( 10 %) are strong and hard…
XMM-Newton spectroscopy of the accreting magnetar candidate 4U0114+65
Graciela Sanjurjo, Jose Miguel Torrejon, Konstantin Postnov +3
4U011465 is one of the slowest known X-ray pulsars. We present an analysis of a pointed observation by the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope. The energy-resolved light curve, the time-…
ESO-Athena Synergy White Paper
P. Padovani, F. Combes, M. Diaz Trigo +29
The Advanced Telescope for High ENergy Astrophysics (Athena) is the X-ray observatory mission selected by ESA within its Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 programme to address the Hot and En…
The early B-type star Rho Oph A is an X-ray lighthouse
Ignazio Pillitteri, Scott J. Wolk, Fabio Reale +1
We present the results of a 140 ks XMM-Newton observation of the B2 star Ophiuchi A. The star has exhibited strong X-ray variability: a cusp-shaped increase of rate, similar to…
Low-luminosity stellar wind accretion onto neutron stars in HMXBs
Konstantin Postnov, Lida Oskinova, Jose Miguel Torrejón
Features and applications of quasi-spherical settling accretion onto rotating magnetized neutron stars in high-mass X-ray binaries are discussed. The settling accretion occurs in w…
