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 ...
Radio-Loud Active Galactic Nucleus : is there a link between luminosity and cluster environment?
(2013-06-20)
We present here the first results from the Chandra ERA (Environments of Radio-loud AGN) Large Project, characterizing the cluster environments of a sample of 26 radio-loud active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at z similar to 0.5 ...
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 ...
Gas sloshing and radio galaxy dynamics in the core of the 3C 449 group
(2013-02-10)
We present results from a 140 ks Chandra/ACIS-S observation of the hot gas around the canonical FR I radio galaxy 3C 449. An earlier, shorter 30 ks Chandra observation of the group gas showed an unusual entropy distribution ...
