Infrared observations of serendipitous hard Chandra X - ray sources
We present observations of a sample of optically-faint, hard X-ray sources of the kind likely to be responsible for much of the hard X-ray background. We confirm that such sources are easily detected in the near-infrared, and find that they have a featureless continuum suggesting that the active nucleus is heavily obscured. The infrared colours of the majority of the targets observed are consis...
متن کاملA DEEP Chandra CATALOG OF X-RAY POINT SOURCES TOWARD THE GALACTIC CENTER
We present a catalog of 2357 point sources detected during 590 ks of Chandra observations of the 17-by-17 arcminute field around Sgr A. This field encompasses a physical area of 40 by 40 pc at a distance of 8 kpc. The completeness limit of the sample at the Galactic center is 10 erg s (2.0–8.0 keV), while the detection limit is an order of magnitude lower. The 281 sources detected below 1.5 keV...
متن کاملXMM-Newton observations of M87 and Its X-Ray Halo
We report performance verification observations of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 in the Virgo Cluster with the MOS, pn, and optical monitor instruments on board of XMM-Newton. With the energy sensitive imaging instruments MOS and pn we obtain the first spatially constrained X-ray spectra of the nucleus and the jet of the galaxy. The good photon statistics of the pn and MOS allow a detailed an...
متن کاملA Catalog of X-ray Point Sources from Two Megaseconds of Chandra Observations of the Galactic Center
We present a catalog of 9017 X-ray sources identified in Chandra observations of a 2×0.8 field around the Galactic center. This enlarges the number of known X-ray sources in the region by a factor of 2.5. The catalog incorporates all of the ACIS-I observations as of 2007 August, which total 2.25 Msec of exposure. At the distance to the Galactic center (8 kpc), we are sensitive to sources with l...
متن کاملMulti - wavelength observations of serendipitous Chandra X - ray sources in the field of A 2390
We present optical spectra and near-infrared imaging of a sample of serendipitous X-ray sources detected in the field of Chandra observations of the A 2390 cluster of galaxies. The sources have 0.5-7 keV fluxes of 0.6 − 8 × 10 −14 erg cm −2 s −1 and lie around the break in the 2-10 keV source counts. They therefore are typical of sources dominating the X-ray Background in that band. Twelve of t...
