Title:
X-ray sources toward NGC 2808

Description:
Using new Chandra X-ray observations and existing XMM-Newton X-ray and Hubble far ultraviolet observations, we aim to detect and identify the faint X-ray sources belonging to the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808 in order to understand their role in the evolution of globular clusters. We present a Chandra X-ray observation of the Galactic globular cluster NGC 2808. We classify the X-ray sources associated with the cluster by analysing their colours and variability. Previous observations with XMM-Newton and far ultraviolet observations with the Hubble Space Telescope are re-investigated to help identify the Chandra sources associated with the cluster. We compare our results to population synthesis models and observations of other Galactic globular clusters. We detect 113 sources, of which 16 fall inside the half-mass radius of NGC 2808 and are concentrated towards the cluster core.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present the X-ray spectra of 86 optically identified sources in the 13^H^ XMM-Newton/Chandra deep field which have >70 X-ray counts. The majority of these sources have 2-10keV fluxes between 10-15 and 5x10^-14^erg/cm^2^/s. The sample consists of 50 broad-line active galactic nuclei (BLAGN), 25 narrow emission-line galaxies (NELGs), six absorption-line galaxies and five Galactic stars. The majority (42/50) of the BLAGN have X-ray spectra which are consistent with a power-law shape.

X-ray spectral analysis of AGNs
Short Name:

Publisher:

Description:
We present the results from an X-ray spectral analysis of active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the Chandra Deep Field-South, All-wavelength Extended Groth-strip International Survey (AEGIS)-Deep X-ray survey (XD) and Chandra-Cosmic Evolution Surveys (COSMOS), focusing on the identification and characterization of the most heavily obscured, Compton thick (CT, NH>10^24^cm^-2^) sources. Our sample is comprised of 3184 X-ray selected extragalactic sources, which has a high rate of redshift completeness (96.6 per cent), and includes additional spectroscopic redshifts and improved photometric redshifts over previous studies. We use spectral models designed for heavily obscured AGN which self-consistently include all major spectral signatures of heavy absorption. We validate our spectral fitting method through simulations, identify CT sources not selected through this method using X-ray colours and take considerations for the constraints on NH given the low count nature of many of our sources. After these considerations, we identify a total of 100 CT AGN with best-fitting NH >10^24^cm^-2^ and NH constrained to be above 10^23.5^cm^-2^ at 90 per cent confidence. These sources cover an intrinsic 2-10keV X-ray luminosity range of 10^42^-3x10^45^erg/s and a redshift range of z=0.1-4. This sample will enable characterization of these heavily obscured AGN across cosmic time and to ascertain their cosmological significance. These survey fields are sites of extensive multiwavelength coverage, including near-infrared Cosmic Assembly Near-infrared Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) data and far-infrared Herschel data, enabling forthcoming investigations into the host properties of CT AGN. Furthermore, by using the torus models to test different covering factor scenarios, and by investigating the inclusion of the soft scattered emission, we find evidence that the covering factor of the obscuring material decreases with LX for all redshifts, consistent with the receding torus model, and that this factor increases with redshift, consistent with an increase in the obscured fraction towards higher redshifts. The strong relationship between the parameters of obscuration and LX points towards an origin intrinsic to the AGN; however, the increase of the covering factor with redshift may point towards contributions to the obscuration by the host galaxy. We make NH, {GAMMA} (with uncertainties), observed X-ray fluxes and intrinsic 2-10keV luminosities for all sources analysed in this work publicly available in an online catalogue.

Title:
X-ray spectral analysis of 107 MW sight lines
Short Name:
J/ApJ/862/34
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
The formation mechanism of the hot gaseous halo associated with the Milky Way is still under debate. We report new observational constraints on the gaseous halo using 107 lines of sight of the Suzaku X-ray observations at 75{deg}<l<285{deg} and |b|>15{deg} with a total exposure of 6.4Ms. The gaseous halo spectra are represented by a single-temperature plasma model in collisional ionization equilibrium. The median temperature of the observed fields is 0.26keV (3.0x10^6^K) with a typical fluctuation of ~30%. The emission measure varies by an order of magnitude and marginally correlates with the Galactic latitude. Despite the large scatter of the data, the emission measure distribution is roughly reproduced by a disk-like density distribution with a scale length of ~7kpc, a scale height of ~2kpc, and a total mass of ~5x10^7^M_{sun}_. In addition, we found that a spherical hot gas with the {beta}-model profile hardly contributes to the observed X-rays but that its total mass might reach >~10^9^M_{sun}_. Combined with indirect evidence of an extended gaseous halo from other observations, the hot gaseous halo likely consists of a dense disk-like component and a rarefied spherical component; the X-ray emissions primarily come from the former, but the mass is dominated by the latter. The disk-like component likely originates from stellar feedback in the Galactic disk due to the low scale height and the large scatter of the emission measures. The median [O/Fe] of ~0.25 shows the contribution of the core-collapse supernovae and supports the stellar feedback origin.

Title:
X-ray spectral analysis of Swift/BAT AGNs
Short Name:
J/ApJ/763/111
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
We present a detailed X-ray spectral analysis of the non-beamed, hard X-ray selected active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the northern Galactic cap of the 58 month Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift/BAT) catalog, consisting of 100 AGNs with b>50{deg}. This sky area has excellent potential for further dedicated study due to a wide range of multi-wavelength data that are already available, and we propose it as a low-redshift analog to the "deep field" observations of AGNs at higher redshifts (e.g., CDFN/S, COSMOS, Lockman Hole). We present distributions of luminosity, absorbing column density, and other key quantities for the catalog. We use a consistent approach to fit new and archival X-ray data gathered from XMM-Newton, Swift/XRT, ASCA, and Swift/BAT. We probe to deeper redshifts than the 9 month BAT catalog (<z>=0.043 compared to <z>=0.03 for the 9 month catalog), and uncover a broader absorbing column density distribution. The fraction of obscured (logN_H_>=22) objects in the sample is ~60%, and 43%-56% of the sample exhibits "complex" 0.4-10keV spectra. We present the average 1-10keV spectrum for the sample, which reproduces the 1-10keV X-ray background slope as found for the brighter 9 month BAT AGN sample.
24556. X-ray spectra of bursting neutron stars

Title:
X-ray spectra of bursting neutron stars
Short Name:
J/ApJ/376/161
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
X-ray burst sources represent a class of accreting neutron stars in close binary systems which do not exhibit any traces of the magnetic field. We present new method of hot model atmosphere computations with account of Compton scattering on free electrons and computed set of plane-parallel hydrogen-helium atmospheres and X-ray spectra of bursting neutron stars. Models were computed with precise angle-dependent radiative transfer under constrains of radiative and hydrostatic equilibrium. Compton scattering opacity included both the Klein-Nishina corrections and the effects of relativistic Maxwellian thermal motion of scattering electrons. Compton redistribution function allows for large energy exchange between X-ray photons and scattering electrons.

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
These tables include the observed fluxes of the lines identified in the X-ray spectra of four cool stars (Procyon, epsilon Eri, lambda And and V851 Cen). The spectra were taken using different configurations (Chandra/LETG, Chandra/HETG and XMM/RGS). The tables list the observed fluxes at Earth, and a comparison with the fluxes predicted for a given thermal coronal structure (the Emission Measure Distribution, EMD), the emissivities provided by the Astrophysical Plasma Emission Model (APED) and column density of absorbing material in the interstellar medium towards the star. A list of the most important (at least a 5% of the flux predicted for the line) blends that have been considered for each line is included.
24558. X-ray spectrum of 1H0419-577

Title:
X-ray spectrum of 1H0419-577
Short Name:
J/A+A/556/A94
Date:

Publisher:
CDS
Description:
In this paper we analyze the X-ray, UV and optical data of the Seyfert 1.5 galaxy 1H0419-577, with the aim of detecting and studying an ionized-gas outflow. The source was observed simultaneously in the X-rays with XMM-Newton and in the UV with HST-COS. Optical data were also acquired with the XMM-Newton Optical Monitor. We detected a thin, lowly ionized warm absorber (logxi~0.03, logNH~19.9cm^-2^) in the X-ray spectrum, consistent to be produced by the same outflow already detected in the UV. Provided the gas density estimated in the UV, the outflow is consistent to be located in the host galaxy, at ~kpc scale. Narrow emission lines were detected in the X-rays, in the UV and also in the optical spectrum. A single photoionized-gas model cannot account for all the narrow lines emission, indicating that the narrow line region is probably a stratified environment, differing in density and ionization. X-ray lines are unambiguously produced in a more highly ionized gas phase than the one emitting the UV lines. The analysis suggests also that the X-ray emitter may be just a deeper portion of the same gas layer producing the UV lines. Optical lines are probably produced in another, disconnected gas system. The different ionization condition, and the ~pc scale location suggested by the line width for the narrow lines emitters, argue against a connection between the warm absorber and the narrow line region in this source.

Description:
X-ray bursts have recently been discovered in the Cepheids {delta}Cep and {beta}Dor modulated by the pulsation cycle. We have obtained an observation of the Cepheid {eta}Aql with the XMM-Newton satellite at the phase of maximum radius; the phase at which there is a burst of X-rays in {delta}Cep. No X-rays were seen from the Cepheid {eta}Aql at this phase, and the implications for Cepheid upper atmospheres are discussed. We have also used the combination of X-ray sources, as well as Gaia and 2MASS data, to search for a possible grouping around the young intermediate mass Cepheid. No indication of such a group was found.
