Opening a New Window to Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics: X-ray Polarimetry
E. Costa, R. Bellazzini, P. Soffitta +25
An extensive theoretical literature predicts that X-ray Polarimetry can directly determine relevant physical and geometrical parameters of astrophysical sources, and discriminate b…
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…
Long Term Variability of Cygnus X-1. IV. Spectral Evolution 1999-2004
J. Wilms, M. A. Nowak, K. Pottschmidt +2
(abbreviated abstract) We present the long term spectral evolution of the Galactic black hole candidate Cygnus X-1 in the X-rays and at 15GHz using ~200 pointed observations taken…
INTEGRAL broadband spectroscopy of Vela X-1
P. Kretschmar, R. Staubert, I. Kreykenbohm +11
The wind-accreting X-ray binary pulsar and cyclotron line source Vela X-1 has been observed extensively during INTEGRAL Core Program observations of the Vela region in June-July an…
Mirax: A Brazilian X-Ray Astronomy Satellite Mission
J. Braga, R. Rothschild, J. Heise +9
We describe the ``Monitor e Imageador de Raios-X'' (MIRAX), an X-ray astronomy satellite mission proposed by the high energy astrophysics group at the National Institute for Space…
