G. Zamorani,J. P. Henry,Tommaso Maccacaro,Harvey Tananbaum,A. M. Soltan,Y. Avni,J. Liebert,John T. Stocke,P. A. Strittmatter,R.J. Weymann,M.G. Smith,James J. Condon +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the positions, fluxes and luminosities of 35 known quasars were observed by the Einstein high-resolution imaging detector and the imaging proportional counter, with evidence of very little cold gas absorption.
Journal ArticleDOI
A method for determining luminosity functions incorporating both flux measurements and flux upper limits, with applications to the average X-ray to optical luminosity ratio for quasars
Journal ArticleDOI
Soft X-ray images of the central region of the Perseus cluster
G. Branduardi-Raymont,Daniel G. Fabricant,E. D. Feigelson,Paul Gorenstein,J. E. Grindlay,A. M. Soltan,G. Zamorani +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the results of 0.5-3.0 keV X-ray observations of the central region of the Perseus cluster carried out with the Imaging Proportional Counter and High Resolution Imager aboard the Einstein Observatory.
Journal ArticleDOI
Time-resolved imaging and spectral studies of an X-ray burst from the globular cluster Terzan
J. E. Grindlay,Herman L. Marshall,P. Hertz,A. M. Soltan,Martin C. Weisskopf,R. F. Elsner,Pranab Ghosh,W. Darbro,Peter G. Sutherland +8 more
TL;DR: The first image of an X-ray burst was recorded with the HRI detector at the Einstein Observatory while observing the globular cluster Terzan 2 as mentioned in this paper, which reached a peak luminosity exceeding 5 × 10 to the 38th (d/10 kpc) squared.
Journal ArticleDOI
Very low luminosity active galaxies and the X-ray background
TL;DR: In this article, an X-ray luminosity function for the range from 10 to 39th to 10 to the 42.5th ergs/s is constructed and integrated to estimate the contribution of these very low luminosity active galaxies to the diffuse Xray background.
