Supersoft X-ray Sources in M31
We report on luminous supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in M31. In a survey which was most sensitive to soft sources in four 8×8 regions covered by Chandra’s ACIS-S S3 CCD, we find 33 SSSs that appear to belong to M31. Two of these were first identified as SSSs through ROSAT observations. Two SSSs may be identified with symbiotics, and 2 with supernova remnants. SSSs in the disk are clustered near...
متن کاملThe M31 population of supersoft sources
The 1991 ROSAT PSPC M31 X-ray point source catalog has been screened in order to set up a sample of candidate supersoft sources in this galaxy, additional to the 16 supersoft sources already known in M31 (Supper et al. 1997). Selection criteria used were based on hardness ratios (“X-ray colors”), as developed in an earlier paper (Kahabka 1998). An additional criterion to be fulfilled was that t...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Iras Maps Nnd Ir Emission of M31 —-1. Morphology and Sources A13s'i'llact
The morphology of the infrared (11?) emission and the properties of discrctc far-infrared (10 R) sources in M31 disk are studied using the high resolution (I IiRes) maps fro]n 1 RAS. Very thin and bright FIR. arm segments are shown ill tllmc maps, which have similar structure as the 111 gas but with much c]lhanccd arn]/inter-arm contrast, typically a factor of N 5 on the 60pTrL image. We identi...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Iras Maps and Ir Emission of M31 | I. Morphology and Sources
The morphology of the infrared (IR) emission and the properties of discrete farinfrared (FIR) sources in M31 disk are studied using the high resolution (HiRes) maps from IRAS. Very thin and bright FIR arm segments are shown in these maps, which have similar structure as the HI gas but with much enhanced arm/inter-arm contrast, typically a factor of 5 on the 60 m image. We identify 39 unconfused...
متن کاملBroad band X–ray spectra of M31 sources with BeppoSAX
We present the first spectral study of the X–ray emitting stellar sources in M31 in the energy band from ∼ 0.1 to 10 keV. We find that the globular cluster sources have spectral characteristics consistent with those of the Milky Way object, namely that the spectrum can be described by a thermal model with ∼ 6–20 keV from ∼ 2 to 10 keV. Evidence of high absorption in some of these sources is mos...
