Detection of an unidentified emission line in the stacked X-ray spectrum of galaxy clusters

TL;DR: In this article, the authors detect a weak unidentified emission line at E = (3.55-3.57) ± 0.03 keV in a stacked XMM-Newton spectrum of 73 galaxy clusters spanning a redshift range 0.01-0.35.
Journal ArticleDOI

The quiescent intracluster medium in the core of the Perseus cluster

Felix Aharonian, +224 more
- 06 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: X-ray observations of the core of the Perseus cluster reveal a remarkably quiescent atmosphere in which the gas has a line-of-sight velocity dispersion of 164 ± 10 kilometres per second in the region 30–60 kiloparsecs from the central nucleus, infering that a total cluster mass determined from hydrostatic equilibrium in a central region would require little correction for turbulent pressure.
Journal ArticleDOI

A NICER View of the Massive Pulsar PSR J0740+6620 Informed by Radio Timing and XMM-Newton Spectroscopy

TL;DR: In this article, the authors estimate the radius, mass, and hot surface regions of the massive millisecond pulsar PSR J0740$+$6620, conditional on pulse profile modeling of Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer X-ray Timing Instrument (NICER XTI) event data.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lack of Evolution in the Iron Abundance in Clusters of Galaxies and Implications for the Global Star Formation Rate at High Redshift

TL;DR: In this article, the first large sample of accurate iron abundances and temperatures for clusters at redshifts greater than 0.14 was presented, showing that the Fe abundance shows little or no evolution out to z ≥ 0.3.
Journal ArticleDOI

The X-ray Globular Cluster Population in NGC 1399

TL;DR: In this paper, a large fraction of the 2-10 keV X-ray emission in the $8' \times 8'$ {\it Chandra} image is resolved into point sources with luminosities of 5 \times 10 −37 −1.
