- Description:
- Using Chandra imaging spectroscopy and Very Large Array (VLA) L-band radio maps, we have identified radio sources at P_1.4GHz_>=5x10^23^W/Hz and X-ray point sources (XPSs) at L_0.3-8keV_>=5x10^42^erg/s in L>L* galaxies in 12 high-redshift (0.4<z<1.2) clusters of galaxies. The radio galaxies and XPSs in this cluster sample, chosen to be consistent with Coma Cluster progenitors at these redshifts, are compared to those found at low-z analyzed in Hart et al. (Paper I, 2009ApJ...705..854H). Within a projected radius of 1Mpc of the cluster cores, we find 17 cluster radio galaxies (11 with secure redshifts, including one luminous FR II radio source at z=0.826, and six more with host galaxy colors similar to cluster ellipticals). Within this same projected radius, we identify seven spectroscopically confirmed cluster XPSs, all with cluster red-sequence (CRS) host galaxy colors. Consistent with the results from Martini et al. (2009ApJ...701...66M), we estimate a minimum X-ray active fraction of 1.4%+/-0.8% for cluster red-sequence galaxies in high-z clusters, corresponding to an approximate 10-fold increase from 0.15%+/-0.15% at low-z. Although complete redshift information is lacking for several XPSs in z>0.4 cluster fields, the increased numbers and luminosities of the CRS radio galaxies and XPSs suggest a substantial (9-10-fold) increase in the heat injected into high-redshift clusters by AGNs compared to the present epoch.

- Description:
- We present the first X-ray source catalog of the ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey (AMSS, or the GIS catalog project), constructed from data at Galactic latitudes |b|>10{deg} observed between 1993 May and 1996 December. The catalog utilizes 368 combined fields and contains 1343 sources with the detection significance above 5{sigma} either in the survey bands of 0.7-7keV, 2-10keV, or 0.7-2keV, including target sources. For each source, the ASCA source name, position, a 90% error radius, count rates in the three bands, detection significances, fluxes, and a hardness ratio are provided. With extensive simulations, we carefully evaluate the data quality of the catalog. Results from cross-correlation with other existing catalogs are briefly summarized.

- Description:
- In succession to the first ASCA Medium Sensitivity Survey catalog (AMSS-I), we present the second X-ray source catalog (AMSS-II), constructed from the Gas Imaging Spectrometer (GIS) data covering Galactic latitudes |b|>10{deg} observed between 1997 January and 2000 May. The AMSS-II catalog uses 306 fields and contains a total of 1190 sources detected with significance of >5{sigma} in either the 0.7-7, 2-10, or 0.7-2keV band. The AMSS-I and AMSS-II catalogs list a total of 2533 sources from an area of 278{deg}^2^ and provides a unique database of X-ray sources in the flux range of 10^-13^-10^-11^ergs/cm^2^/s (0.7-10keV). We summarize statistical properties of a complete X-ray sample consisting of 1969 serendipitous selected from AMSS-I and AMSS-II.

- Description:
- We present X-ray observations of ten globular clusters observed with the ROSAT PSPC. The clusters were chosen to have large core radii and to be nearby. Three clusters contain X-ray sources which are probably associated with the cluster. One is the previously discovered X-ray transient H1825-331 in NGC 6652. The other two, in NGC 6366 and NGC 6809, are new members of the class of low-luminosity sources, with luminosities in the region of 10^32^erg/s. Upper limits can be placed on the source temperatures of both sources, making them similar to sources found in other globular clusters by ROSAT.

- CDS
- Description:
- NGC 5846 is a giant elliptical galaxy with a previously well studied globular cluster system (GCS), known to have a bimodal colour distribution with a remarkably high red fraction. Here we revisit the central galaxy regions searching for new globular cluster (GC) candidates, and measure magnitudes, colours and sizes for them. We also search for their X-ray counterparts. Methods: We use archival Hubble Space Telescope WFPC2 images, from which we modelled and subtracted the host light distribution to increase the available sample of GCs. We performed photometry on the central objects, and measured sizes and coordinates for the entire GC system known in this galaxy. Results: We detect two dozen previously unknown GC candidates in the central reg ions. Reliable sizes are obtained for about 60 GCs; their typical effective radii are in the range 3-5pc. The largest clusters are located in the central regions. We find 7 X-ray counterparts to GCs, most of them in the central region. They are among the most luminous X-ray sources in NGC 5846. They are also optically luminous, compact and belong to the red subpopulation. Conclusions: The GCS of NGC 5846 is composed of relatively luminous X-ray sources.

- Description:
- We combined Chandra ACIS observations of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae (47 Tuc) from 2000, 2002 and 2014-2015 to create a deeper X-ray source list, and study some of the faint radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) present in this cluster. We have detected 370 X-ray sources within the half-mass radius (2.79 arcsec) of the cluster, 81 of which are newly identified, by including new data and using improved source detection techniques. The majority of the newly identified sources are in the crowded core region, indicating cluster membership. We associate five of the new X-ray sources with chromospherically active BY Dra or W UMa variables identified by Albrow et al. We present alternative positions derived from two methods, centroiding and image reconstruction, for faint, crowded sources. We are able to extract X-ray spectra of the recently discovered MSPs 47 Tuc aa, 47 Tuc ab, the newly timed MSP 47 Tuc Z, and the newly resolved MSPs 47 Tuc S and 47 Tuc F. Generally, they are well fitted by blackbody or neutron star atmosphere models, with temperatures, luminosities and emitting radii similar to those of other known MSPs in 47 Tuc, though 47 Tuc aa and 47 Tuc ab reach lower X-ray luminosities. We limit X-ray emission from the full surface of the rapidly spinning (542 Hz) MSP 47 Tuc aa, and use this limit to put an upper bound for amplitude of r-mode oscillations in this pulsar as {alpha}<2.5x10^-9^ and constrain the shape of the r-mode instability window.

- Description:
- We detect 353 X-ray point sources, mostly low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), in four Chandra observations of Centaurus A (NGC 5128), the nearest giant early-type galaxy, and correlate this point-source population with the largest available ensemble of confirmed and likely globular clusters (GCs) associated with this galaxy. Of the X-ray sources, 31 are coincident with 30 GCs that are confirmed members of the galaxy by radial velocity measurement (two X-ray sources match one GC within our search radius), while one X-ray source coincides with a GC resolved by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) images. Another 36 X-ray point sources match probable, but spectroscopically unconfirmed, GC candidates.

- Short Name:
- J/A+A/602/A31

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We report on the first detailed multiwavelength study of the radio source G29.37+0.1, which is an as-yet-unclassified object linked to the very-high-energy gamma-emitting source HESS J1844-030. The origin of the multiwavelength emission toward G29.37+0.1 has not been clarified so far, leaving open the question about the physical relationship between these sources. Using observations carried out with the Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), we performed high-quality full-synthesis imaging at 610MHz of the field containing G29.37+0.1. The obtained data, combined with observations at 1400MHz from the MAGPIS were used to investigate in detail the properties of its radio emission. Additionally, we reprocessed archival data obtained with the XMM-Newton and Chandra observatories in order to get a multiwavelength view of this unusual source. The radio source G29.37+0.1 mainly consists of a bright twisted structure, named the S-shaped feature. The high sensitivity of the new GMRT observations allowed the identification of potential lobes, jets and a nuclear central region in the S-shaped morphology of G29.37+0.1. We also highlight the detection of diffuse and low surface brightness emission enveloping the brightest emitting regions. The brightest emission in G29.37+0.1 has a radio synchrotron spectral index alpha=0.59+/-0.09. Variations in the spectral behaviour are observed across the whole radio source with the flattest spectral features in the central nuclear and jets components (alpha~0.3). These results lead us to conclude that the brightest radio emission from G29.37+0.1 likely represents a newly recognized radio galaxy. The identification of optical and infrared counterparts to the emission arising from the core of G29.37+0.1 strengthens our interpretation of an extragalactic origin of the radio emission. We performed several tests to explain the physical mechanism responsible for the observed X-ray emission, which appears overlapping the northeastern part of the radio emission. Our spectral analysis demonstrated that a non-thermal origin for the X-ray emission compatible with a pulsar wind nebula is quite possible. The analysis of the spatial distribution of the CO gas revealed the presence of a complex of molecular clouds located in projection adjacent to the radio halo emission and probably interacting with it. We propose that the faint halo represents a composite supernova remnant with a pulsar powered component given by the diffuse X-ray emission superimposed along the line of sight to the radio galaxy. Further broadband observations of HESS J1844-030 are needed to disentangle its origin, although its shape and position suggest an extragalactic origin connected to G29.37+0.1.

- Short Name:

- Publisher:

- Description:
- We present results from a high-sensitivity (60{mu}Jy), large-scale (2.26deg^2^) survey obtained with the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array as part of the Gould's Belt Survey program. We detected 374 and 354 sources at 4.5 and 7.5GHz, respectively. Of these, 148 are associated with previously known young stellar objects (YSOs). Another 86 sources previously unclassified at either optical or infrared wavelengths exhibit radio properties that are consistent with those of young stars. The overall properties of our sources at radio wavelengths such as their variability and radio to X-ray luminosity relation are consistent with previous results from the Gould's Belt Survey. Our detections provide target lists for follow-up Very Long Baseline Array radio observations to determine their distances as YSOs are located in regions of high nebulosity and extinction, making it difficult to measure optical parallaxes.

- Description:
- We present deep (~17{mu}Jy) radio continuum observations of the Serpens molecular cloud, the Serpens south cluster, and the W40 region obtained using the Very Large Array in its A configuration. We detect a total of 146 sources, 29 of which are young stellar objects (YSOs), 2 of which are BV stars, and 5 more of which are associated with phenomena related to YSOs. Based on their radio variability and spectral index, we propose that about 16 of the remaining 110 unclassified sources are also YSOs. For approximately 65% of the known YSOs detected here as radio sources, the emission is most likely non-thermal and related to stellar coronal activity. As also recently observed in Ophiuchus, our sample of YSOs with X-ray counterparts lies below the fiducial Guedel & Benz (1993ApJ...405L..63G) relation. Finally, we analyze the proper motions of nine sources in the W40 region. This allows us to better constrain the membership of the radio sources in the region.
