The fading of two transient ultraluminous x-ray sources to below the stellar mass Eddington limit
(2013-09-20)
We report new detections of the two transient ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in NGC 5128 from an ongoing series of Chandra observations. Both sources have previously been observed L (2-3) × ∼10 erg s, at the lower end ...
Spectral properties of X-ray binaries in Centaurus A
(2013-04-01)
We present a spectral investigation of X-ray binaries (XBs) in NGC 5128 (Cen A), using six 100 ks Chandra observations taken over two months in 2007. We divide our sample into thermally and non-thermally dominated states ...
A transient sub-Eddington black hole X-ray binary candidate in the dust lanes of Centaurus A
(2012-04-20)
We report the discovery of a bright X-ray transient CXOU J132527.6-430023 in the nearby early-type galaxy NGC5128. The source was first detected over the course of five Chandra observations in 2007, reaching an unabsorbed ...
An active galactic nucleus driven shock in the intracluster medium around the radio galaxy 3C310
(2012-04-10)
We present results from a 57.6 ks Chandra observation of the cluster gas associated with the fat-double radio galaxy 3C 310. We find a surface brightness discontinuity in the gas outside the southern radio lobe that we ...
Modeling x-ray emission of a straight jet : PKS 0920-397
(2010)
We summarize a study of PKS 0920-397 using our 42 ks Chandra observation in conjunction with our ATCA 20GHz image, and HST/ACS F814W and F475W images. We investigate the hypothesis that the jet X–ray emission is due to ...
Long-term monitoring of the dynamics and particle acceleration of knots in the jet of Centaurus A
(2010)
We present new and archival multi-frequency radio and X-ray data for Centaurus A obtained over almost 20 years at the Very Large Array and with Chandra, with which we measure the X-ray and radio spectral indices of jet ...
A flare in the jet of Pictor A
(2010)
A Chandra X-ray imaging observation of the jet in Pictor A showed a feature that appears to be a flare that faded between 2000 and 2002. The feature was not detected in a follow-up observation in 2009. The jet itself is ...
Kinematics of the parsec-scale radio jet in 3C 48
(2010)
We present results on the compact steep-spectrum quasar 3C 48 from observations with the Very Long Baseline Array (VLBA), the Multi-Element Radio Linked Interferometer Network (MERLIN) and the European Very long baseline ...
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 ...
