A statistical analysis of the Two Dimensional XMM-Newton Group Survey: The impact of feedback on group properties

Ria Johnson, Trevor J. Ponman, Alexis Finoguenov

(abridged) We present a statistical analysis of 28 nearby galaxy groups from the Two-Dimensional XMM-Newton Group Survey (2dXGS). We focus on entropy and the role of feedback, divi…

The Chandra View of Galaxy Mergers

N. J. Brassington, T. J. Ponman, A. M. Read

From a Chandra survey of nine interacting galaxy systems the evolution of X-ray emission during the merger process has been investigated. It is found that the X-ray luminosity peak…

Discovery of absorption features of the ADC and systematic acceleration of the X-ray burst rate in XB 1323-619

M. J. Church, D. Reed, T. Dotani +2

We present results from analysis of the observation of the dipping, quasi-periodic bursting LMXB XB 1323-619 made with XMM-Newton in Jan., 2003. A number of absorption lines were d…

Probing Colliding Wind Binaries with High-Resolution X-ray Spectra

D. B. Henley, I. R. Stevens, J. M. Pittard +2

X-ray line profiles represent a new way of studying the winds of massive stars. In particular, they enable us to probe in detail the wind-wind collision in colliding wind binaries,…

The unusual morphology of the intragroup medium in NGC 5171

John P. F. Osmond, Trevor J. Ponman, Alexis Finoguenov

We present the results of a 24 ks XMM-Newton observation of the NGC 5171 group of galaxies. NGC 5171 is unusual in that it is an X-ray bright group (L > 10^42 erg/s), with irregula…

The orbital period of the dipping, bursting, globular cluster X-ray source XB 1746-371 from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations

M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, A. P. Smale

We present results from two long observations of XB 1746-371 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 2002 January and May, lasting 4 and 5 days respectively. Dips are observed…
