High resolution X-ray spectra of quasars
Past X-ray observations by ASCA suggest that warm absorbers (Ovii and Oviii edges) are apparently rare in high luminosity AGNs (quasars) while they are more common in low luminosity AGNs (Seyferts). However, this could be a selection effect if high luminosity AGNs have mostly narrow absorption lines (with no strong bound free edges), which escaped detection by the low resolution of ASCA. To che...
متن کاملHigh Resolution X-ray Spectra of Cluster Cooling Flows
The cooling cores of clusters of galaxies are among the brightest thermal Xray line sources in the universe. High resolution X-ray spectra would allow individual line fluxes to be measured. The fluxes of low ionization X-ray lines in cooling flows should be directly proportional to the cooling rate at relatively cool temperatures, and could be used to determine whether large amounts of gas are ...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Krypton M4.5 X-ray Emission Spectra
High resolution M,,, (3d -+ 4p) x-ray emission spectra from a kwton plasma were measured using a recently developed grazing-incidence reflectiongrating monochromator/spectrometer with very high flux rates at extreme ultraviolet and soft x-ray wavelengths. The nominal resolving power of the instrument, E/AE, is about 300 in this energy range (-80 eV). Three dipole-allowed 3d -+ 4p emission lines...
متن کاملProbing Colliding Wind Binaries with High-Resolution X-ray Spectra
X-ray line profiles represent a new way of studying the winds of massive stars. In particular, they enable us to probe in detail the wind-wind collision in colliding wind binaries, providing new insights into the structure and dynamics of the X-ray-emitting regions. We present the key results of new analysis of high-resolution Chandra X-ray spectra of two important colliding wind systems, Velor...
متن کاملModelling the X-ray spectra of high velocity outflows from quasars
High velocity outflows from supermassive black holes have been invoked to explain the recent identification of strong absorption features in the hard X-ray spectra of several quasars. Here, Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations are performed to synthesise X-ray spectra from models of such flows. It is found that simple, parametric bi-conical outflow models with plausible choices for the w...
