EXTraS discovery of two pulsators in the direction of the LMC: a Be/X-ray binary pulsar in the LMC and a candidate double-degenerate polar in the foreground
F. Haberl, G. L. Israel, G. A. Rodriguez Castillo +10
The EXTraS project to explore the X-ray Transient and variable Sky searches for coherent signals in the X-ray archival data of XMM-Newton. XMM-Newton performed more than 400 pointe…
Second ROSAT all-sky survey (2RXS) source catalogue
Th. Boller, M. J. Freyberg, J. Truemper +3
We present the second ROSAT all-sky survey source catalogue, hereafter referred to as the 2RXS catalogue. This is the second publicly released ROSAT catalogue of point-like sources…
An accreting pulsar with extreme properties drives an ultraluminous x-ray source in NGC 5907
G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore, L. Stella +20
Ultraluminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in nearby galaxies shine brighter than any X-ray source in our Galaxy. ULXs are usually modeled as stellar-mass black holes (BHs) accreting at ve…
Discovery of a 0.42-s pulsar in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 7793 P13
G. L. Israel, A. Papitto, P. Esposito +11
NGC 7793 P13 is a variable (luminosity range ~100) ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) proposed to host a stellar-mass black hole of less than 15 M in a binary system with o…
SNR 1E 0102.2-7219 as an X-ray Calibration Standard in the 0.5-1.0 keV Bandpass and Its Application to the CCD Instruments aboard Chandra, Suzaku, Swift and XMM-Newton
Paul P. Plucinsky, Andrew P. Beardmore, Adam Foster +4
We desire a simple comparison of the absolute effective areas of the current generation of CCD instruments onboard the following observatories: Chandra ACIS-S3, XMM-Newton (EPIC-MO…
Searching for supergiant fast X-ray transients with Swift
P. Romano, E. Bozzo, P. Esposito +11
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) hosting a neutron star and an OB supergiant companion. We examine the available Swift data, as well as…
