The jet heated x-ray filament in the Centaurus A northern middle radio lobe
(2009)
We present results from a 40 ks XMM-Newton observation of the X-ray filament coincident with the southeast edge of the Centaurus A Northern Middle Radio Lobe (NML). We find that the X-ray filament consists of five spatially ...
Luminosity functions of LMXBs in Centaurus A: globular clusters versus the field
(2009)
We study the X-ray luminosity function (XLF) of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) in the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A, concentrating primarily on two aspects of binary populations: the XLF behavior at the low-luminosity ...
High-energy particle acceleration at the radio-lobe shock of Centaurus A
(2009)
We present new results on the shock around the south-west radio lobe of Centaurus A using data from the Chandra Very Large Programme observations (740 ks total observing time). The X-ray spectrum of the emission around the ...
Where Centaurus A gets its X-ray knottiness
(2008)
We report an X-ray spectral study of the transverse structure of the Centaurus A jet using new data from the Chandra Cen A Very Large Project. We find that the spectrum steepens with increasing distance from the jet axis, ...
Evidence for Non-Hydrostatic Gas Motions in the Hot Interstellar Medium of Centaurus A
(2008)
We present preliminary results from a deep (600 ks) Chandra observation of the hot interstellar medium of the nearby early-type galaxy Centaurus A. We find a surface brightness discontinuity in the gas ~3.5 kpc from the ...
A Transient Black-Hole Low-Mass X-Ray Binary Candidate in Centaurus A
(2008)
We report the discovery of a bright transient X-ray source, CXOU J132518.2–430304, toward Centaurus A (Cen A) using six new Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations in 2007 March-May. Between 2003 and 2007, its flux has ...
New results on particle acceleration in the Centaurus A jet and counterjet from a deep Chandra observation
(2007)
We present new deep Chandra observations of the Centaurus A jet, with a combined on-source exposure time of 719 ks. These data allow detailed X-ray spectral measurements to be made along the jet out to its disappearance ...
Chandra and XMM-Newton Observations of the Nucleus of Centaurus A
(2004-09)
We present X-ray spectra of the nucleus of the nearby radio galaxy Centaurus A from observations with the XMM-Newton EPIC CCD cameras (two exposures separated by 12 months) and the Chandra HETGS. For the first time in an ...
Particle acceleration and jet dynamics in Centaurus A
(2004-06)
New multi-epoch Chandra observations, combined with multi-epoch, high-dynamic range VLA data, have allowed us to relate the radio and X-ray structure of the jet in Cen A to the jet dynamics. We present evidence that a ...
Cen A and its Interaction with the X-ray Emitting Interstellar Medium
(2004)
As the closest radio galaxy, Centaurus A is a powerful laboratory for the X-ray study of radio-emitting structures and their interactions with the hot interstellar medium (ISM). This paper details our interpretation of the ...
