Exploring the Nature of Weak Chandra Sources near the Galactic Centre
R. M. Bandyopadhyay, K. M. Blundell, Ph. Podsiadlowski +5
We present early results from the first IR imaging of the weak X-ray sources discovered in a recent Chandra survey towards the Galactic Centre. From our VLT observations we will id…
A new population of X-ray transients in the Galactic Centre
Masaaki Sakano, Robert S. Warwick, Anne Decourchelle +1
A comparison of the XMM-Newton and Chandra Galactic Centre (GC) Surveys has revealed two faint X-ray transients with contrasting properties. The X-ray spectrum of XMM J174544-2913.…
Non-Nuclear Hyper/Ultraluminous X-Ray Sources in the Starbursting Cartwheel Ring Galaxy
Yu Gao, Q. Daniel Wang, P. N. Appleton +1
We report the Chandra/ACIS-S detection of more than 20 ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs, L_{0.5-10 keV} >~ 3 x 10^{39} ergs/sec) in the Cartwheel collisional ring galaxy system, o…
Chandra Observation of the Edge-on Galaxy NGC 3556 (M 108): Violent Galactic Disk-halo Interaction Revealed
Q. Daniel Wang, Tara Chaves, Judith Irwin
We present a 60 ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of the isolated edge-on spiral NGC 3556, together with a multiwavelength analysis of various discrete X-ray sources and diffuse X-ray…
Supernova Remnant Crossing a Density Jump: A Thin Shell Model
Yang Chen, Fan Zhang, Rosa M. Williams +1
The environments of supernova explosion are often inhomogeneous and there may be jumps in their density structure. We have developed a semi-analytic model under the thin-shell appr…
The Chandra Detection of Galactic Center X-ray Features G359.89-0.08 and G359.54+0.18
F. J. Lu, Q. D. Wang, C. C. Lang
We report on the detection of two elongated X-ray features G359.89-0.08 and G359.54+0.18 in the Galactic center (GC) region using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. G359.89-0.08 is an…
