X-RAYS OF STELLAR CORONAE WITH CHANDRA AND XMM-NEWTON Flares and Elemental Composition in Stellar Atmospheres
Observations of magnetically active stars with Chandra and XMM-Newton have deepened our knowledge of the physics of the atmospheres in late-type stars. In this review paper, I discuss two topics that have profited significantly from Chandra and XMM-Newton. Of particular interest, studies of the elemental composition of stellar coronae have taken advantage of the high spectral resolution availab...
متن کاملSoft X - ray emission lines in the afterglow spectrum of GRB 011211 : - a detailed XMM - Newton analysis
We report on an XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray afterglow of the Gamma Ray Burst GRB 011211, originally detected by Beppo-SAX on 11th December 2001. The early afterglow spectrum obtained by XMM-Newton, observed 11 hours after the initial burst, appeared to reveal decaying H-like Kα emission lines of Mg, Si, S, Ar and Ca, arising in enriched material with an outflow velocity of order 0.1c (R...
متن کاملAttacking the X-ray Emission Properties of Young Stars with the Sword of Orion
We present a survey of X-ray emission from young stars in the Sword of Orion star-formation region using XMM-Newton’s EPIC detectors. We find over 850 X-ray sources, of which more than 700 have near-infrared counterparts consistent with being young stars. The survey enables statistical investigation of the dependence of X-ray emission properties of young stars on fundamental stellar parameters ...
متن کاملThe XMM - Newton view of stellar coronae : High - resolution X - ray spectroscopy of Capella ?
We present the high-resolution RGS X-ray spectrum of the stellar binary Capella observed by the XMMNewton satellite. A multi-thermal approach has rst been applied to t the data and derive elemental abundances. Using the latter, the emission measure distribution has been reconstructed using a Chebychev polynomial t. Its shape is found to display a sharp peak around 7 MK, consistent with previous...
متن کاملChemical evolution in Sérsic 159 - 03 observed with XMM - Newton
Using a new long X-ray observation of the cluster of galaxies Sérsic 159-03 with XMM-Newton, we derive radial temperature and abundance profiles using single-and multi-temperature models. The fits to the EPIC and RGS spectra prefer multi-temperature models especially in the core. The radial profiles of oxygen and iron measured with EPIC/RGS and the line profiles in RGS suggest that there is a d...
