An XMM-Newton study of the RGH 80 galaxy group
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20035760 Bibcode: 2004A&A...420..833X

Böhringer, H.; Matsushita, K.; Xue, Y. -J.

We present an X-ray study of the galaxy group RGH 80, observed by XMM-Newton. The X-ray emission of the gas is detected out to ∼462 h-150 kpc, corresponding to ∼0.45 r200. The group is relatively gas rich and luminous with respect to its temperature of 1.01 ± 0.01 keV. Using the deprojected spectral analysis, we fi…

Very cold cores in the Taurus Molecular Ring as seen by ISO
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20035611 Bibcode: 2004A&A...420..533T

Three prominent cold objects of the Taurus Molecular Ring (TMR) were revealed by our ISOPHOT 200 µm map of the south-eastern part of the Heiles Cloud 2 (HCL 2) cloud complex. One corresponds to the cyanopolyyne peak region of the TMC-1 ridge, (

Deep Photometry in a Remote M31 Major-Axis Field Near G1
DOI: 10.1086/382108 Bibcode: 2004AJ....127.2139R

Ho, Luis C.; Gebhardt, Karl; Rich, R. Michael +2 more

We present photometry from Hubble Space Telescope (HST) Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 parallel imagery of a remote M31 field at a projected distance of ~34 kpc from the nucleus near the southwest major axis. This field is near the globular cluster G1, and near one of the candidate tidal plumes identified in the survey of Ferguson et al. (2002). Th…

INTEGRAL observations of the PSR B1259-63/SS2883 system after the 2004 periastron passage
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:200400077 Bibcode: 2004A&A...426L..33S

Mereghetti, S.; Rodriguez, J.; Walter, R. +3 more

The millisecond pulsar PSR B1259-63 and the Be star SS2883 are situated in a highly eccentric binary system, with orbital period ∼3.4 years. We report on hard X-ray observations obtained with the INTEGRAL satellite close to the 2004 periastron passage. These are the first imaging observations of this system in…

The XMM-Newton view of the X-ray halo and jet of NGC 6251
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20031657 Bibcode: 2004A&A...414..885S

Cheung, C. C.; Tavecchio, F.; Mushotzky, R. F. +3 more

We present an XMM-Newton observation of the radio jet and diffuse halo of the nearby radio galaxy NGC 6251. The EPIC spectrum of the galaxy's halo is best-fitted by a thermal model with temperature kT ∼ 1.6 keV and sub-solar abundances. Interestingly, an additional hard X-ray component is required to fit the EPIC spectra of the halo above 3 keV, a…

WIYN Open Cluster Study. XIX. Main-Sequence-Fitting Distances to Open Clusters Using V-K Color-Magnitude Diagrams
DOI: 10.1086/381072 Bibcode: 2004AJ....127..991S

Sarajedini, Ata; Brandt, Ken; Grocholski, Aaron J. +1 more

We have combined existing optical magnitudes for stars in seven open clusters and 54 field stars with the corresponding JHKs photometry from the Two Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS). Combining optical with near-IR photometry broadens the color baseline, minimizing the influence of photometric errors and allowing better discrimination betwe…

The evolution and simulation of the outburst from XZ Tauri - A possible EXor?
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20034316 Bibcode: 2004A&A...419..593C

Ray, T. P.; Coffey, D.; Downes, T. P.

We report on multi-epoch HST/WFPC2 images of the XZ Tauri binary, and its outflow, covering the period from 1995 to 2001. Data from 1995 to 1998 have already been published in the literature. Additional images, from 1999, 2000 and 2001 are presented here. These reveal not only further dynamical and morphological evolution of the XZ Tauri outflow b…

Two examples of magnetic clouds with double rotations observed by the Ulysses spacecraft
DOI: 10.1029/2003GL018330 Bibcode: 2004GeoRL..31.6804R

Forsyth, R. J.; Rees, A.

A survey of Ulysses magnetometer data has been carried out between Oct 1990 (launch) and Apr 2003 (just after the second northern polar pass) cataloguing magnetic cloud (MC) signatures, i.e., a smooth magnetic field rotation and enhanced magnetic field magnitude. After confirming that each of these events was a true MC by checking for a low proton…

Molecular Hydrogen Emission Lines in Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer Observations of Mira B
DOI: 10.1086/380197 Bibcode: 2004ApJ...601..502W

Wood, Brian E.; Karovska, Margarita

We present new Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) observations of Mira A's wind-accreting companion star, Mira B. We find that the strongest lines in the FUSE spectrum are H2 lines fluoresced by H I Lyα. A previously analyzed Hubble Space Telescope (HST) spectrum also shows numerous Lyα-fluoresced H2 lines. The HST…
