The ASTRO-H X-ray Astronomy Satellite
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +250
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions developed by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), with a planne…
Comment on "Dark matter searches going bananas: the contribution of Potassium (and Chlorine) to the 3.5 keV line"
Esra Bulbul, Maxim Markevitch, Adam R. Foster +3
The recent paper by Jeltema & Profumo(2014) claims that contributions from \ion{K}{18} and \ion{Cl}{17} lines can explain the unidentified emission line found by Bulbul et al 2014…
Spectral Modeling of the Charge-Exchange X-ray Emission from M82
Shuinai Zhang, Q. Daniel Wang, Li Ji +3
It has been proposed that the charge exchange (CX) process at the interface between hot and cool interstellar gases could contribute significantly to the observed soft X-ray emissi…
Simulating X-ray Observations with Python
John A. ZuHone, Veronica Biffi, Eric J. Hallman +3
X-ray astronomy is an important tool in the astrophysicist's toolkit to investigate high-energy astrophysical phenomena. Theoretical numerical simulations of astrophysical sources…
Resolving the Origin of the Diffuse Soft X-ray Background
Randall K. Smith, Adam R. Foster, Richard J. Edgar +1
The ubiquitous diffuse soft (1/4 keV) X-ray background was one of the earliest discoveries of X-ray astronomy. At least some of the emission may arise from charge exchange between…
Detection of An Unidentified Emission Line in the Stacked X-ray spectrum of Galaxy Clusters
Esra Bulbul, Maxim Markevitch, Adam Foster +3
We detect a weak unidentified emission line at E=(3.55-3.57)+/-0.03 keV in a stacked XMM spectrum of 73 galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 0.01-0.35. MOS and PN observations…
