Spectral analysis of low-mass X-ray binaries
A recent study of a small sample of X-ray binaries (XRBs) suggests a significant softening of spectra of neutron star (NS) binaries as compared to black hole (BH) binaries in... -
Two dips in the LC of 3XMMJ004232.1+411314
We performed a search for eclipsing and dipping sources in the archive of the EXTraS project-a systematic characterization of the temporal behavior of XMM-Newton point sources.... -
eta Carinae obs. around the 2014 X-ray minimum
We report on Swift X-ray Telescope observations of Eta Carinae ({eta}Car), an extremely massive, long-period, highly eccentric binary obtained during the 2014.6 X-ray... -
Collinder 261 Chandra sources & optical counterparts
We present the first X-ray study of Collinder 261 (Cr261), which at an age of 7Gyr is one of the oldest open clusters known in the Galaxy. Our observation with the Chandra X-Ray... -
Fermi/GBM obs. of V404 Cygni 2015 outburst
V404 Cygni was discovered in 1989 by the Ginga X-ray satellite during its only previously observed X-ray outburst and soon after confirmed as a black hole binary. On 2015 June... -
NuSTAR hard X-ray survey of the Galactic Center. II.
We present the first survey results of hard X-ray point sources in the Galactic Center (GC) region by NuSTAR. We have discovered 70 hard (3-79 keV) X-ray point sources in a 0.6... -
RXTE observations of GRS 1915+105
We report on the X-ray spectral behavior within the steady states of GRS1915+105. Our work is based on the full data set of the source obtained using the Proportional Counter... -
X-ray observations of HCG galaxies
We obtain total galaxy X-ray luminosities, L_X_, originating from individually detected point sources in a sample of 47 galaxies in 15 compact groups of galaxies (CGs). For the... -
Megasecond Chandra XVP obs. of NGC3115. II.
We carried out an in-depth study of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) detected in the nearby lenticular galaxy NGC 3115 using the Megasecond Chandra X-ray Visionary Project... -
Swift/XRT 0.5-10keV obs. of MAXI J1659-152
We present an energy dependent X-ray variability study of the 2010 outburst of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1659-152 with the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT). The broadband... -
Mass-transfer sequences in 16 Galactic LMXBs
Galactic field black hole (BH) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are believed to form in situ via the evolution of isolated binaries. In the standard formation channel, these... -
X-Ray source properties for NGC 2207/IC 2163
We present a comprehensive study of the total X-ray emission from the colliding galaxy pair NGC 2207/IC 2163, based on Chandra, Spitzer, and GALEX data. We detect 28... -
Catalog of X-ray sources in the NARCS
We present a catalog of 1415 X-ray sources identified in the Norma Arm Region Chandra Survey (NARCS), which covers a 2{deg}x0.8{deg} region in the direction of the Norma spiral... -
X-ray binaries observed in M31 with Chandra
We have created 0.3-10keV, 13yr, unabsorbed luminosity light curves for 528 X-ray sources in the central 20' of M31. We have 174 Chandra observations spaced at ~1 month... -
Energy feedback from XRB from z=0 to z=19.92
X-ray photons, because of their long mean-free paths, can easily escape the galactic environments where they are produced, and interact at long distances with the intergalactic... -
X-ray obs. of SINGS gal. compared to models
We present the largest-scale comparison to date between observed extragalactic X-ray binary (XRB) populations and theoretical models of their production. We construct... -
Chandra study of NGC 6791
We present the first X-ray study of NGC 6791, one of the oldest open clusters known (8Gyr). Our Chandra observation is aimed at uncovering the population of close interacting... -
X-ray binary evolution across cosmic time
High-redshift galaxies permit the study of the formation and evolution of X-ray binary (XRB) populations on cosmological timescales, probing a wide range of metallicities and... -
Chandra Local Volume Survey: NGC 404 sources
We present a comprehensive X-ray point-source catalog of NGC 404 obtained as part of the Chandra Local Volume Survey. A new 97ks Chandra ACIS-S observation of NGC 404 was... -
