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 ...
XMM-Newton Observations of the Nuclei of the Radio Galaxies 3C 305, DA 240, and 4C 73.08
(2008)
We present new XMM-Newton EPIC observations of the nuclei of the nearby radio galaxies 3C 305, DA 240, and 4C 73.08, and investigate the origin of their nuclear X-ray emission. The nuclei of the three sources appear to ...
Deep Chandra Observations of the Centaurus A Jet
(Astronomical Society of the Pacific, 2008)
Chandra has observed the jet of Centaurus A for 560 ks in 2007, giving a total on-source observation time since the launch of Chandra of 720 ks. Combining these datasets gives us a uniquely detailed X-ray view of the jet ...
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 ...
Low-Mass X-ray Binaries and Globular Clusters in Centaurus A
(2007)
We present results of Hubble Space Telescope and Chandra X-Ray Observatory observations of globular clusters (GCs) and low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) in the central regions of Centaurus A. Out of 440 GC candidates, we ...
