Matteo Bachetti,Fiona A. Harrison,Dominic J. Walton,Brian W. Grefenstette,Deepto Chakrabarty,Felix Fürst,Didier Barret,Andrei M. Beloborodov,Steven E. Boggs,Finn Erland Christensen,William W. Craig,A. C. Fabian,C. J. Hailey,Ann Hornschemeier,V. M. Kaspi,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Thomas J. Maccarone,Jon M. Miller,Vikram Rana,Daniel Stern,Shriharsh P. Tendulkar,John A. Tomsick,N. A. Webb,W. W. Zhang +23 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported broadband X-ray observations of the nuclear region of the galaxy M82 that reveal pulsations with an average period of 1.37 seconds and a 2.5-day sinusoidal modulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) - I. The compilation of the sample and the cluster log N-log S distribution
Harald Ebeling,Alastair C. Edge,Hans Böhringer,Steven W. Allen,C. S. Crawford,A. C. Fabian,Wolfgang Voges,John P. Huchra +7 more
TL;DR: The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) as mentioned in this paper is the largest X-ray selected cluster sample compiled to date, containing Abell clusters, Zwicky clusters and other clusters selected from their Xray properties alone.
Journal ArticleDOI
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS): -- III. Optical spectra of the central cluster galaxies
C. S. Crawford,Steven W. Allen,Harald Ebeling,Alastair C. Edge,Alastair C. Edge,A. C. Fabian +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present new spectra of dominant galaxies in X-ray selected clusters, which combine with their previously published spectra to form a sample of 256 dominant galaxies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Simultaneous X-ray/optical/UV snapshots of active galactic nuclei from XMM–Newton: spectral energy distributions for the reverberation mapped sample
R. V. Vasudevan,A. C. Fabian +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors employ contemporaneous optical, ultraviolet (UV) and X-ray observations from the XMM-Newton European Photon Imaging Camera (EPIC-pn) and Optical Monitor (OM) archives to present, for the first time, simultaneous spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for the majority of the Peterson et al. reverberation mapped sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN).
Journal ArticleDOI
The ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample - IV. The extended sample
Harald Ebeling,Harald Ebeling,Alastair C. Edge,Steven W. Allen,C. S. Crawford,A. C. Fabian,John P. Huchra +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a low-flux extension of the X-ray-selected ROSAT Brightest Cluster Sample (BCS) published in Paper I of this series and employed an identical selection procedure, the BCS extension is compiled from ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) data in the northern hemisphere (δ≥0°) and at high Galactic latitudes (|b|≥20°).
