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…
A study of the dipping low mass X-ray binary Xþ1624-490 from the broadband BeppoSAX observation
M. Balucinska-Church, P. J. Humphrey, M. J. Church +1
A study of the luminous dipping LMXB X1624-490 was made using BeppoSAX. From modelling the MECS radial profile in several energy bands, the optical depth to dust scattering at 1 ke…
