Broadband X - ray spectrum of intermediate polar V 1223 Sgr
نویسنده
چکیده
We present the broadband phase averaged spectrum of one of the brightest intermediate polars V1223 Sgr, obtained with INTEGRAL and RXTE observatories (3-100 keV). Good statistical quality of the spectrum in a hard X-ray energy band (INTEGRAL/IBIS and RXTE/HEXTE) allowed us to disentangle contributions of a direct optically thin plasma emission and a reflected component to the spectrum of V1223 Sgr. The obtained measurement of the post-shock temperature of the accreting matter give us the information about the mass of the white dwarf and the inclination of the system.

The jet model for Sgr A*: Radio and X-ray spectrum
The preliminary detection of the Galactic Center black hole Sgr A* in X-rays by the Chandra mission, as well as recent mm-VLBI measurements, impose strict constraints on this source. Using a relativistic jet model for Sgr A*, we calculate the synchrotron and synchrotron self-Compton emission. The predicted spectrum provides an excellent fit to the radio spectrum and the X-ray observations. Limi...
متن کاملPolarization of X–ray emission from the Sgr B2 cloud
The Sgr B2 giant molecular cloud is claimed to be an ”X–ray reflection nebula” – the reprocessing site of a powerful flare of the Sgr A* source, occurred few hundred years ago. The shape of the X–ray spectrum and the strength of the iron fluorescent line support this hypothesis. We argue that the most clean test of the origin of X–rays from Sgr B2 would be a detection of polarized emission from...
متن کاملChandra Detections of Two Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Transients
Using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, we have detected the black hole transients V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859 226 in their low-luminosity quiescent states. The 0.3–8 keV luminosities are (d/7 kpc) ergs s 1 and 3.3 31 (4.0 ) # 10 2.4 (d/11 kpc) ergs s 1 for V4641 Sgr and XTE J1859 226, respectively. With the addition of 4.8 31 (4.2 ) # 10 2.2 these two systems, 14 out of the 15 transients with confirm...
متن کاملThe X - ray emission of the Intermediate Polar V 709 Cas
We present RXTE and BeppoSAX observations of the Intermediate Polar V 709 Cas acquired in 1997 and 1998 respectively. The X-ray emission from 0.1 to 30 keV is dominated by the strong pulsation at the rotational period of the white dwarf (312.8 s) with no sign of orbital or sideband periodicity, thus confirming previous ROSAT results. However, we detect changes in the power spectra between the t...
متن کاملThe Rapid X-ray Variability of Gm Sagittarii (sax J1819.3–2525 = Xte J1819–254)
We report on the rapid X-ray variability of the variable star and X-ray transient GM Sgr (SAX J1819.3–2525; XTE J1819–254) as observed on 15 Sept. 1999 by the proportional counter array (PCA) on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). During the first ∼900 seconds of the first RXTE/PCA observation, GM Sgr showed very strong Xray fluctuations by a factor of 4 on time scales of seconds to a...
