Resolving the Galactic X-ray background
M. Revnivtsev, A. Vikhlinin, S. Sazonov
We use Chandra deep observations of the Galactic Center (GC) region to improve the constraints on the unresolved fraction of the Galactic X-ray background (also known as the Galact…
The 400 square degrees ROSAT PSPC galaxy cluster survey: Catalog and statistical calibration
R. A. Burenin, A. Vikhlinin, A. Hornstrup +3
We present a catalog of galaxy clusters detected in a new ROSAT PSPC survey. The survey is optimized to sample, at high redshifts, the mass range corresponding to T> keV clusters a…
"The Perfect Slope": A new robust low-scatter X-ray mass indicator for clusters of galaxies
Alexey Vikhlinin, Andrey V. Kravtsov, Daisuke Nagai
This presentation is a Moriond version of our recent paper (Kravtsov, Vikhlinin & Nagai astro-ph/0603205) where we discussed X-ray proxies for the total cluster mass, including the…
X-ray thermal coronae of galaxies in hot clusters -- ubiquity of embedded mini cooling cores
M. Sun, C. Jones, W. Forman +3
We present a systematic investigation of X-ray thermal coronae in 157 early-type galaxies and 22 late-type galaxies from a survey of 25 hot (kT>3 keV), nearby (z<0.05) clusters, ba…
ChaMP Serendipitous Galaxy Cluster Survey
W. A. Barkhouse, P. J. Green, A. Vikhlinin +12
We present a survey of serendipitous extended X-ray sources and optical cluster candidates from the Chandra Multi-wavelength Project (ChaMP). Our main goal is to make an unbiased c…
Supersoft X-ray Sources. Parameters of Stellar Atmospheres
A. Ibragimov, V. Suleimanov, A. Vikhlinin +1
ROSAT spectra of 11 supersoft X-ray sources (RX J0439.8-6809, RX J0513.9-6951, RX J0527.8-6954, CAL 87, CAL 83, 1E 0035.4-7230, RX J0048.4-7332, 1E 0056.8-7154, RX J0019.8 +2156, R…
