BeppoSAX spectroscopy of the NGC 7078 ( M 15 ) globular cluster
Results of a 1999 November 16–17 BeppoSAX observation of the low-mass X-ray binary X 2127+119 located in the globular cluster M15 are presented. The system is believed to be one where the central neutron star is normally obscured by the accretion disk, and only X-rays scattered into our line of sight by an extended accretion disk corona (ADC) are observed. The 0.1–10 keV lightcurve is energy de...
متن کاملHigh-velocity Clouds in M 83 and M 51
Various scenarios have been proposed to explain the origin of the Galactic high-velocity clouds, predicting different distances and implying widely varying properties for the Galaxy’s gaseous halo. To eliminate the difficulties of studying the Galactic halo from within, we have embarked on a program to study anomalous neutral gas in external galaxies, and here we present the results for two nea...
متن کاملHigh - Velocity Clouds in the Nearby Spiral Galaxy M 83
We present deep H I 21-cm and optical observations of the face-on spiral galaxy M 83 obtained as part of a project to search for high-velocity clouds (HVCs) in nearby galaxies. Anomalous-velocity neutral gas is detected toward M 83, with 5.6×10 M⊙ of H I contained in a disk rotating 40–50 km s more slowly in projection than the bulk of the gas. We interpret this as a vertically extended thick d...
متن کاملWhat regulates the velocity distribution of interstellar clouds?
Kinetic energy stored in ISM bulk/turbulent motions is a crucial ingredient to properly describe most properties of observed galaxies. By using Monte Carlo simulations, we investigate how this energy is injected by supernovae and dissipated via cloud collisions and derive the corresponding ISM velocity probability distribution function (PDF). The functional form of the PDF for the modulus of th...
متن کاملBurst from the Globular Cluster M 28
We report the discovery of an unusual X-ray burst from the direction of the Globular Cluster M28 using data acquired with the ASCA Observatory. The burst was recorded by all four ASCA telescopes and displays a fast ( < ∼ 70 ms) rise followed by an exponential decay (τ = 7.5 s) and a steady afterglow which lasts between 800 – 3250 s. The image of the burst is consistent with an ASCA point source...
