A Wolf-Rayet/black-hole X-ray binary candidate in NGC 300
S. Carpano, A. M. T. Pollock, J. Wilms +2
Context. Wolf Rayet/black hole binaries are believed to exist as a later evolutionary product of high-mass X-ray binaries. Hundreds of such binaries may exist in galaxies, but only…
Hunting the nature of IGR J17497-2821 with X-ray and NIR observations
A. Paizis, M. A. Nowak, S. Chaty +7
We report on a Chandra grating observation of the recently discovered hard X-ray transient IGR J17497-2821. The observation took place about two weeks after the source discovery at…
A new luminous supersoft X-ray source in NGC 300
S. Carpano, J. Wilms, M. Schirmer +1
Context. We report the discovery of a new luminous supersoft source, XMMU J005455.0-374117, in the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 300, in XMM-Newton observations performed on 2005 May 22…
The XMM-Newton view of the Crab
M. G. F. Kirsch, G. Schoenherr, E. Kendziorra +7
We discuss the current X-ray view of the Crab Nebula and Pulsar, summarising our analysis of observations of the source with the EPIC-pn camera on board the XMM-Newton observatory.…
Study of the cyclotron feature in MXB 0656-072
V. A. McBride, J. Wilms, M. J. Coe +7
We have monitored a Type II outburst of the Be/X-ray binary MXB 0656-072 in a series of pointed RXTE observations during October through December 2003. The source spectrum shows a…
