1SXPS: A Deep Swift X-Ray Telescope Point Source Catalog with Light Curves and Spectra
Tagliaferri, G.; Gehrels, N.; Pagani, C. +9 more
We present the 1SXPS (Swift-XRT point source) catalog of 151,524 X-ray point sources detected by the Swift-XRT in 8 yr of operation. The catalog covers 1905 deg2 distributed approximately uniformly on the sky. We analyze the data in two ways. First we consider all observations individually, for which we have a typical sensitivity of ~3 …
X-Ray Emission from Magnetic Massive Stars
Wade, Gregg A.; Nazé, Yaël; ud-Doula, Asif +4 more
Magnetically confined winds of early-type stars are expected to be sources of bright and hard X-rays. To clarify the systematics of the observed X-ray properties, we have analyzed a large series of Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, corresponding to all available exposures of known massive magnetic stars (over 100 exposures covering ~60% of star…
Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects (ChIcAGO): An X-Ray Survey of Unidentified Sources in the Galactic Plane. I. Source Sample and Initial Results
Drake, Jeremy J.; Chakrabarty, Deepto; Lee, Julia C. +18 more
We present the Chasing the Identification of ASCA Galactic Objects (ChIcAGO) survey, which is designed to identify the unknown X-ray sources discovered during the ASCA Galactic Plane Survey (AGPS). Little is known about most of the AGPS sources, especially those that emit primarily in hard X-rays (2-10 keV) within the Fx ~ 10-13
K-shell Photoabsorption of Magnesium Ions
García, J.; Kallman, T. R.; Gatuzz, E. +4 more
X-ray photoabsorption cross sections have been computed for all magnesium ions with three or more electrons using the R-matrix method. A comparison with other available data for Mg II-Mg X shows good qualitative agreement in the resultant resonance shapes. However, for the lower ionization stages, and for singly ionized Mg II in particular, the pr…
