- 30 January 2013
The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) mission, launched on 2012 June 13, is the first focusing high-energy X-ray telescope in orbit. NuSTAR operates in the band from 3 to 79 keV,…
A long hard look at MCG–6-30-15 with XMM-Newton

- Physics
- 6 June 2002
We present the first results from a 325-ks observation of the Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG–6-30-15 with XMM-Newton and BeppoSAX. The strong, broad, skewed iron line is clearly detected and is well…

A survey that can cover the sky in optical bands over wide fields to faint magnitudes with a fast cadence will enable many of the exciting science opportunities of the next decade. The Large Synoptic…
Photoevaporation of Circumstellar Disks around Young Stars
- A. Font, I. McCarthy, D. Johnstone, D. Ballantyne

- 10 February 2004
We examine the ability of photoevaporative disk winds to explain the low-velocity components observed in the forbidden line spectra of low-mass T Tauri stars. Using the analytic model of Shu and…
JHK standard stars for large telescopes: the UKIRT Fundamental and Extended lists
- T. Hawarden, S. Leggett, M. Letawsky, D. Ballantyne, M. Casali
- Physics
- 15 February 2001
We present high-precision JHK photometry with the 3.8-m UK Infrared Telescope (UKIRT) of 82 standard stars, 28 from the widely used preliminary list known as the ‘UKIRT Faint Standards’, referred to…
RELATIVISTIC LINES AND REFLECTION FROM THE INNER ACCRETION DISKS AROUND NEUTRON STARS

A number of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have recently been discovered to show broad, asymmetric Fe K emission lines in their X-ray spectra. These lines are generally thought to be…
Visible and Infrared Photometry of Six Centaurs

- 1 August 1998
Abstract We present infrared ( JHK ) and visible ( VRI ) observations of the Centaurs 2060 Chiron, 5145 Pholus, 7066 Nessus, 1995 DW 2 , 1995 GO, and 1997 CU 26 . These are combined whenever possible…
THE BROADBAND SPECTRAL VARIABILITY OF MCG−6-30-15 OBSERVED BY NUSTAR AND XMM-NEWTON
- A. Marinucci, G. Matt, W. Zhang
- Physics
- 14 April 2014
MCG−6-30-15, at a distance of 37 Mpc (z = 0.008), is the archetypical Seyfert 1 galaxy showing very broad Fe Kα emission. We present results from a joint NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observational campaign…
A complete view of the broad‐line radio galaxy 4C +74.26 with XMM–Newton
- D. Ballantyne
- Physics
- 27 June 2005
This paper presents a timing study and broad-band spectral analysis of the broad-line radio galaxy 4C +74.26 based on a 35-ks XMM-Newton observation. As found in previous data sets, the source…
Exploring the disc/jet interaction in the radio-loud quasar 4C+74.26 with Suzaku
- J. Larsson, A. Fabian, D. Ballantyne, G. Miniutti
- Physics
- 23 May 2008
We report on a 90 ks Suzaku observation of the radio-loud quasar 4C+74.26. The source was observed in its highest flux state to date, and we find that it brightened by about 20 per cent during the…
