The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud: The X-ray point-source catalogue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Local-Group galaxies provide access to samples of X-ray source populations of whole galaxies. The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) completely covers the bar and eastern wing with a 5.6 deg^2 area in the (0.2-12.0) keV band.

Altered chemistry of oxygen and iron under deep Earth conditions

open access: yesNature Communications, 2019
Iron oxides prevail in the deep Earth, at extreme pressures and temperatures, with different stoichiometries than in ambient conditions. Here, high-pressure synchrotron X-ray spectroscopic measurements reveal the oxidation states of Fe and O in iron ...

SPICES II. Optical and Near-Infrared Identifications of Faint X-Ray Sources from Deep Chandra Observations of Lynx [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
We present our first results on field X-ray sources detected in a deep, 184.7 ks observation with the ACIS-I camera on Chandra. The observations target the Lynx field of SPICES, and contains three known X-ray-emitting clusters out to z=1.27.

Near-Infrared Counterparts to Chandra X-ray Sources toward the Galactic Center. I. Statistics and a Catalog of Candidates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We present a catalog of 5184 candidate infrared counterparts to X-ray sources detected towards the Galactic center. The X-ray sample contains 9017 point sources detected in this region by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, including data from a recent deep ...

X-Ray burst sources [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Astronomical Union Colloquium, 1986
AbstractType I cosmic X-ray bursts are widely thought to result from thermonuclear flashes in the surface layers of accreting neutron stars. The thermonuclear-flash model is able to account for a wide variety of observed burst phenomena. However, a number of theoretical and observational problems persist.

Ultraluminous X-ray Sources [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of Accretion Processes in Cosmic Sources – II — PoS(APCS2018), 2019
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent a class of binary systems that are more luminous than any black hole in our Galaxy. The nature of these objects remained unclear for a long time. The most popular models for the ULXs involve either intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs) or stellar-mass black holes accreting at super-Eddington rates.

XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray follow-up observations of the VHE gamma-ray source HESS J1507-622 [PDF]

open access: yesA&A 567, A74 (2014), 2014
Context. The discovery of the unique source HESS J1507-622 in the very high energy (VHE) range (100 GeV-100 TeV) opened new possibilities to study the parent population of ultra-relativistic particles found in astrophysical sources and underlined the possibility of new scenarios/mechanisms crucial for understanding the underlying astrophysical ...

The Submillimeter Properties of the 1 Ms Chandra Deep Field North X-ray Sample [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
We present submillimeter observations for 136 of the 370 X-ray sources detected in the 1 Ms exposure of the Chandra Deep Field North. Ten of the X-ray sources are significantly detected in the submillimeter.

Optical Sources Near the Bright X-Ray Source in NGC 1073 [PDF]

open access: yesAstrophys.J. 629 (2005) 233-238, 2005
New HST observations show that the bright X-ray source in the face-on spiral galaxy NGC 1073 is located near a ring of recent star formation with an age of 8-16 Myr. This strengthens the association of X-ray sources in spiral galaxies emitting near or above the Eddington limit for a 20 solar mass black hole with recent star formation events.
