X-ray Observations of the Compact Source in Cta 1
The point source RX J0007.0+7302, at the center of supernova remnant CTA 1, was studied using the X-Ray Multi-mirror Mission (XMM-Newton). The X-ray spectrum of the source is consistent with a neutron star interpretation, and is well described by a power law with the addition of a soft thermal component that may correspond to emission from hot polar cap regions or to cooling emission from a lig...
متن کاملDetection of a Compact X-ray Source in the Supernova Remnant G 29.6+0.1: a Variable Anomalous X-ray Pulsar?
We present follow-up observations of the serendipitously discovered 7-s x-ray pulsar AX J1845−0258, which displays characteristics similar to those observed in the anomalous x-ray pulsars (AXPs). We find a dramatic reduction in its 3-10 keV flux in both new ASCA and RXTE datasets. Within the pulsar’s position-error locus, we detect a faint point source, AX J184453−025640, surrounded by an arc o...
متن کاملA Compact X - ray Source and Possible X - ray Jets within the Planetary Nebula Menzel 3 Joel
We report the discovery, by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, of X-ray emission from the bipolar planetary nebula Menzel 3. In Chandra CCD imaging, Mz 3 displays hot (∼ 3 − 6 × 10 K) gas within its twin, coaxial bubbles of optical nebulosity, as well as a compact X-ray source at the position of its central star(s). The brightest diffuse X-ray emission lies along the polar axis of the optical nebul...
متن کاملUltra-compact (X-ray) binaries
A short review of ultra-compact binaries, focused on ultra-compact X-ray binaries, is followed by a discussion of recent results of our VLT campaign to obtain optical spectra of (candidate) ultra-compact X-ray binaries. We find evidence for carbon/oxygen as well as helium/nitrogen discs and no evidence for (traces) of hydrogen. This suggests that the donors in the observed systems are white dwa...
متن کاملCompact X-ray sources: X-ray from self-reflection
X-ray has been an important scientific tool ever since its discovery in the 1890s. X-ray used to be generated by synchrotron machines, which are large and expensive devices. However, laser-based particle acceleration offers a way to reduce the size and cost of hard-X-ray sources. Scientists have now developed a simple scheme that produces a bright flash of hard-X-rays by using a single laser pu...
