CHANDRA Detection of 16 New X - Ray Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
We have detected 18 sources over 6 σ threshold within two regions 8 ′ .3×16 ′ .9 and 8 ′ .3×33 ′ .6 in the vicinity of the point with α=03 h 31 m 02 s .45 (J2000) and δ=+43 • 47 ′ 58 ′′ .5 (J2000) using a CHAN DRA ACIS (S+I) observation. Two of the sources were detected before with ROSAT HRI and one source could be closely identified with a star in the optical catalog, USNO A-2. We have also studied source spectra applying four spectral models to the data. Most of the sources can be classified as Cataclysmic Variable, Low Mass X-ray Binary or single star candidates due to their spectral characteristics and luminosities. We also searched for the extragalactic origin for these 18 sources. The source count rates vary between 5.8×10 −4-4.7×10 −3 counts/s. Due to low count rates temporal characteristics of the sources can not be studied effectively.

Chandra reveals a black - hole X - ray binary within the ultraluminous supernova remnant MF 16
We present evidence, based on Chandra ACIS-S observations of the nearby spiral galaxy NGC 6946, that the extraodinary X-ray luminosity of the MF 16 supernova remnant actually arises in a black-hole X-ray binary. This conclusion is drawn from the point-like nature of the X-ray source, its X-ray spectrum closely resembling the spectrum of other ultraluminous X-ray sources thought to be black-hole...
متن کاملThe X-ray emission from Young Stellar Objects in the ρ Ophiuchi cloud core as seen by XMM-Newton
We observed the main core F of the ρ Ophiuchi cloud, an active star-forming region located at d ∼ 140 pc, using XMM-Newton with an exposure of 33 ks. We detect 87 X-ray sources within the 30 diameter field-ofview of the EPIC imaging detector array. We cross-correlate the positions of XMM-Newton X-ray sources with previous X-ray and infrared (IR) catalogs: 25 previously unknown X-ray sources are...
متن کاملCan Chandra Resolve the Remaining Cosmic X-ray Background?
The deepest extragalactic X-ray observation, the 2 Ms Chandra Deep Field North (CDF-N), resolves ∼80% of the total extragalactic cosmic X-ray background (CXB) in the 1–2 keV band. Recent work has shown that 70% of the remaining CXB flux is associated with sources detected by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). This paper uses the existing CDF-N data to constrain the X-ray flux distribution of the...
متن کاملDetection of X-ray Emission from Gravitationally Lensed Submillimeter Sources in the Field of Abell
We report the detection by Chandra of SMM J02399−0134 and SMM J02399−0136, two distant (z = 1.06 and z = 2.81, respectively) submillimeter sources gravitationally magnified by the galaxy cluster Abell 370. These are high-significance (> 7σ) X-ray detections of the high-redshift submillimeter source population. The X-ray positions are coincident with the optical positions to within one arcsecond...
متن کاملNew SSS from the ROSAT PSPC
We have performed Chandra observations during the past 3 years of 5 of the M31 supersoft X-ray sources discovered with ROSAT. Surprisingly, only one of these sources has been detected, despite a predicted detection of about 20-80 counts for these sources. This has motivated a thorough check of the ROSAT M31 survey I data, including a relaxation of the hardness ratio requirement used to select s...
متن کاملThe Extended Chandra Deep Field-South Survey: X-ray Point-Source Catalog
The Extended Chandra Deep Field-South (ECDFS) survey consists of 4 Chandra ACIS-I pointings and covers ≈ 1100 square arcminutes (≈ 0.3 deg) centered on the original CDF-S field to a depth of approximately 228 ks. This is the largest Chandra survey ever conducted at such depth, and only one XMMNewton survey reaches a lower flux limit in the hard 2.0–8.0 keV band. We detect 651 unique sources — 5...
