X-ray reflection from cold matter in Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries
Weak, broad emission lines due to low-ionisation stages of iron, and other spectral features, have recently been observed in the X-ray spectra of Active Galactic Nuclei and in some Galatic X-ray… Expand
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample — I. The compilation of the sample and the cluster log N—log S distribution
- H. Ebeling, A. Edge, +5 authors J. Huchra
- Physics
- 21 December 1998
We present a 90 per cent flux-complete sample of the 201 X-ray-brightest clusters of galaxies in the northern hemisphere (δ ≥ 0°), at high Galactic latitudes (|b| ≥ 20°), with measured redshifts z ≤… Expand
Gravitationally redshifted emission implying an accretion disk and massive black hole in the active galaxy MCG63015
- Y. Tanaka, K. Nandra, +9 authors M. Matsuoka
- Physics
- Nature
- 22 June 1995
ACTIVE galactic nuclei and quasars are probably powered by the accretion of gas onto a supermassive black hole at the centre of the host galaxy1, but direct confirmation of the presence of a black… Expand
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample - IV. The extended sample
- H. Ebeling, A. Edge, S. Allen, C. Crawford, A. Fabian, J. Huchra
- Physics
- 14 March 2000
We present a low-flux extension of the X-ray-selected ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) published in Paper I of this series. Like the original BCS and employing an identical selection procedure,… Expand
An ultraluminous X-ray source powered by an accreting neutron star

- Nature
- 9 October 2014
The majority of ultraluminous X-ray sources are point sources that are spatially offset from the nuclei of nearby galaxies and whose X-ray luminosities exceed the theoretical maximum for spherical… Expand
A ROSAT study of the cores of clusters of galaxies — I. Cooling flows in an X-ray flux-limited sample
- C. B. Perés, A. Fabian, A. Edge, S. Allen, R. Johnstone, D. White
- Physics
- 10 May 1998
ABSTRA C T This is the first part of a study of the detailed X-ray properties of the cores of nearby clusters. We have used the flux-limited sample of 55 clusters listed by Edge et al., and archival… Expand
The relation between accretion rate and jet power in X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies
- S. Allen, R. Dunn, A. Fabian, G. Taylor, C. Reynolds
- Physics
- 24 February 2006
Using Chandra X-ray observations of nine nearby, X-ray luminous elliptical galaxies with good optical velocity dispersion measurements, we show that a tight correlation exists between the Bondi… Expand
A very deep Chandra observation of the Perseus cluster: shocks, ripples and conduction
- A. Fabian, J. Sanders, +4 authors K. Iwasawa
- Physics
- 17 October 2005
We present the first results from a very deep Chandra X-ray observation of the core of the Perseus cluster of galaxies. A pressure map reveals a clear thick band of high pressure around the inner… Expand
ACCRETION ONTO THE SUPERMASSIVE BLACK HOLE IN M87
Chandra X-ray observations of the giant elliptical galaxy M87 resolve the thermal state of the hot interstellar medium into the accretion (Bondi) radius of its central 3 × 109 M☉ black hole. We… Expand

- Physics
- 30 July 2000
ABSTRACT We report subarcsec-resolution X-ray imaging of the core ofthe Perseus cluster around thegalaxy NGC1275 with the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The ROSAT-discovered holes asso-ciated with the… Expand
