LOFAR facet calibration
(2016-03-07)
LOFAR, the Low-Frequency Array, is a powerful new radio telescope operating between 10 and 240 MHz. LOFAR allows detailed sensitive high-resolution studies of the low-frequency radio sky. At the same time LOFAR also provides ...
LOFAR, VLA, and Chandra observations of the Toothbrush galaxy cluster
(2016-02-22)
We present deep LOFAR observations between 120-181 MHz of the "Toothbrush" (RX J0603.3+4214), a cluster that contains one of the brightest radio relic sources known. Our LOFAR observations exploit a new and novel calibration ...
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 ...
The gas dynamics of NGC 4472 revealed by XMM-Newton
(2011)
We present results from a 100 ks XMM-Newton observation of the hot gas in the Virgo cluster elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. We find a surface brightness discontinuity ∼21 kpc north of the nucleus, consistent with being a contact ...
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 ...
