The X-ray Spectra of Black Hole X-ray Novae in Quiescence as Measured by Chandra
A. K. H. Kong, J. E. McClintock, M. R. Garcia +2
We present Chandra observations of black hole X-ray novae V404 Cyg, A0620-00, GRO J1655-40 and XTE J1550-564 in quiescence. Their quiescent spectra can be well fitted by a power-la…
An Overview of the Performance and Scientific Results from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO)
M. C. Weisskopf, B. Brinkman, C. Canizares +3
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO), the x-ray component of NASA's Great Observatories, was launched on 1999, July 23 by the Space Shuttle Columbia. After satellite systems activat…
Exploring the Early Universe with XMM-Newton
I. Lehmann, G. Hasinger, S. S. Murray +1
The question of the X-ray background has been largely settled over the last 10 years using the ROSAT satellite. About 70-80 % of the soft X-ray background was resolved into discret…
Discovery of X-ray Pulsations from the Compact Central Source in the Supernova Remnant 3C 58
Stephen S. Murray, Patrick O. Slane, Fredrick D. Seward +2
We report on high time resolution observations of the SNR 3C 58 using the High Resolution Camera on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. These data show a point-like central source, from…
Chandra Observations of NGC 4636 - An Elliptical Galaxy in Turmoil
C. Jones, W. Forman, A. Vikhlinin +5
Chandra images show symmetric, 8 kpc long, arm-like features in the X-ray halo surrounding NGC 4636. The leading edges of these features are sharp and are accompanied by temperatur…
Is the Compact Source at the Center of Cas A Pulsed?
Stephen S. Murray, Scott M. Ransom, Michael Juda +2
A 50 ksec observation of the Supernova Remnant Cas A was taken using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory High Resolution Camera (HRC) to search for periodic signals from the compact sour…
