The XMM-Newton view of radio-quiet and X-ray dim isolated neutron stars
F. Haberl
(shortened) As part of the guaranteed time, guest observer and calibration programs, XMM-Newton extensively observed a group of six thermally emitting, isolated neutron stars which…
CTI history of the EPIC pn camera
K. Dennerl, U. G. Briel, M. J. Freyberg +3
The pn camera of EPIC is inherently robust against radiation damage effects. Nevertheless, the knowledge of charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of the pn camera is crucial for obtai…
Spectral response of the EPIC-pn detector: basic dependences
F. Haberl, U. G. Briel, K. Dennerl +1
One of the three cameras behind the X-ray telescopes on board XMM-Newton is equipped with a pn CCD detector. Here the current status of the pn spectral response calibration is summ…
First deep XMM-Newton observations of the LMC: Identifying LMC intrinsic source populations
F. Haberl
The first X-ray survey of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) was performed with the Einstein satellite, revealing diffuse X-ray emission from hot gas and discrete X-ray sources. The…
Timing study of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125
Silvia Zane, Frank Haberl, Mark Cropper +4
We present a combined analysis of XMM-Newton, Chandra and Rosat observations of the isolated neutron star RX J0720.4-3125, spanning a total period of \sim 7 years. We develop a max…
Doubling the number of Be/X-ray binaries in the SMC
F. Haberl, M. Sasaki
A correlation of X-ray source and Halpha emission-line object catalogues in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) shows that more than two thirds of the optically identified Be stars in…
