Serpens X-1 observed by INTEGRAL
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20040210 Bibcode: 2004A&A...423..651M

Here we report results of an INTEGRAL-AO1 observation of the X-ray burst and atoll source Ser X-1 performed in May 2003. The object was observed for a total on-source time of 400 ks but nearly 8° off-axis due to its amalgamation with an observation of SS 433, the pointing target source. Ser X-1 has been clearly detected up to 30 keV wit…

XMM-Newton observations of the relaxed, high-redshift galaxy cluster ClJ0046.3+8530 at z= 0.62
DOI: 10.1111/j.1365-2966.2004.08149.x Bibcode: 2004MNRAS.354....1M

A detailed analysis of XMM-Newton observations of ClJ0046.3+8530 (z= 0.624) is presented. The cluster has a moderate temperature (kT= 4.1 +/- 0.3 keV) and appears to be relaxed. Emission is detected at >=3σ significance to a radius of 88 per cent of R200 (the radius enclosing an overdensity of 200 times the critical density at z= 0.6…

Kinematic Control of the Inertiality of ICRS Catalogs
DOI: 10.1134/1.1695086 Bibcode: 2004AstL...30..251B

Bobylev, V. V.

We perform a kinematic analysis of the HIPPARCOS and TRC proper motions of stars by using a linear Ogorodnikov-Milne model. All of the distant (r > 0.2 kpc) stars of the HIPPARCOS catalog have been found to rotate around the Galactic y axis with an angular velocity of M_{13}^- = -0.36 +/- 0.09 mas/yr. One of the causes of this rotation may be a…

RX J0256.5+0006: A merging cluster of galaxies at z = 0.36 observed with XMM-NEWTON
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20048005 Bibcode: 2004A&A...425...15M

Nichol, R. C.; Romer, A. K.; Majerowicz, S. +3 more

We present here a study based on XMM-NEWTON data of RX J0256.5+0006, a medium distant (z=0.36) cluster of galaxies found in the Bright SHARC catalog. The X-ray emitting intracluster medium shows a bimodal structure: one main cluster component and a substructure in the west, which very likely falls onto the main cluster centre. T…

XMM-Newton observations of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226
DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361:20035825 Bibcode: 2004A&A...420..905G

Gondoin, P.; Orr, A.; Siddiqui, H.

We report on an XMM-Newton observation of the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226 performed in November 2000. The analysis of the 0.4-10 keV spectrum of its nucleus is consistent with a power law continuum (Γ ≈ 1.96) absorbed at low energies by neutral gas (with a hydrogen column density NH ≈ 3-8× 1021 cm-2 and a cove…

A Gas+Dust Model of the Peculiar Envelope of HD 62623 Based on Interferometric Observations
DOI: 10.1086/381141 Bibcode: 2004ApJ...602..978S

Lopez, B.; Stee, Ph.; Bittar, J.

We present an improved model for the circumstellar environment of the peculiar star HD 62623 taking into account the gas around the central star and the dust present in the outer parts of the envelope. We compare our results with photometric observations and near-infrared interferometric observations obtained with aperture masking interferometry p…

Structure of interplanetary magnetic cloud on April 16, 1999 and its origin estimated by fitting the torus-shaped flux rope model
DOI: 10.1029/2004GL020702 Bibcode: 2004GeoRL..3121807I

Ishibashi, Hiromitsu; Marubashi, Katsuhide

We examined the relationship between interplanetary magnetic cloud observed by the ACE satellite on April 16, 1999 and its solar origin. The solar and interplanetary background was relatively quiet for 10 clear days before April 16, enabling us to unambiguously assume the solar origin of the magnetic cloud. However, the results of fitting a consta…

A slow streamer blowout at the Sun and Ulysses
DOI: 10.1029/2003GL018895 Bibcode: 2004GeoRL..31.5801S

Bemporad, A.; Poletto, G.; Suess, S. T.

On 10 June 2000 a streamer on the southeast limb slowly disappeared from LASCO/C2 over ~10 hours. A small CME was reported in C2. A substantial interplanetary CME (ICME) was later detected at Ulysses, which was at quadrature with the Sun and SOHO at the time. This detection illustrates the properties of an ICME for a known solar source and demonst…

X-Ray Luminous Galaxies. II. Chandra and XMM-Newton Observations of the ``Composite'' Galaxy IRAS 20051-1117
DOI: 10.1086/423366 Bibcode: 2004ApJ...614..634G

Zezas, A.; Georgantopoulos, I.; Papadakis, I. +1 more

We present Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the composite star-forming/Seyfert galaxy IRAS 20051-1117. The X-ray imaging and spectral properties reveal the presence of an active nucleus. The Chandra image shows a strong nuclear point source [L(2-10keV)~4×1042ergss-1]. The nuclear X-ray source coincides with a bright, al…
