X-ray emission associated with the west lobe of the giant radio galaxy, 3C 236, was investigated with the Suzaku observatory, to evaluate the energetics in the lobe. After removing contamination from X-ray sources detected with Chandra and…
We report on the detection of a soft spatially-extended component of X-ray emission around four intermediate-redshift 3C quasars observed with Chandra: 3C254, 3C263, 3C275.1 and 3C281. The bolometric luminosity of this emission ranges over…
The remnant of SN 1006 has an X-ray spectrum dominated by nonthermal emission, and pre-ASCA observations were well described by a synchrotron calculation with electron energies limited by escape. We describe the results of a much more…
Evidence for non-thermal activity in clusters of galaxies is well established from radio observations of synchrotron emission by relativistic electrons. New windows in the Extreme Ultraviolet and Hard X-ray ranges have provided for more…
A numerical simulation model of the injection and cooling of nonthermal particles energized by shocks formed in merging clusters of galaxies is used to fit radio and X-ray data observed from the Coma cluster of galaxies. The results are…
Using deep Chandra ACIS observation data for Cygnus A, we report evidence of non-thermal X-ray emission from radio lobes surrounded by a rich intra-cluster medium (ICM). The diffuse X-ray emission, which are associated with the eastern and…
The wide-band energy spectrum of NGC6240 over the range 0.5-200keV is investigated using the RXTE and ASCA data. The RXTE data provide the spectrum beyond the ASCA range (0.5-10 keV) with significant detection of signals up to 20keV and the…
(abridged) We present results from an analysis of the X-ray properties of the NGC 383 galaxy group based on ROSAT PSPC and HRI data. X-ray emission can be traced out to ~ 1 Mpc, the estimated virial radius of the system. We determine a…
We present high angular resolution ($\sim0\rlap.{''}1$-$0\rlap.{''}4$) VLA observations at 2 and 6 cm made in 1983, 1986, and 1995 toward the ultracompact bipolar H II region NGC 7538 IRS1. We find, at both wavelengths, clear evidence of a…
ASCA observations of 4 high redshift radio--loud quasars with 1.44$<$z$<$3.21 are presented. The spectral analysis for three of them (PKS 0332-403, PKS 0537-286, PKS 2149-306) reveals that their X-ray continuum emission is well represented…
We have obtained a broad-band spectrum of the Compton-thick Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 2273 with Suzaku. The spectrum reveals the first detection of hard X-rays above ~10 keV from NGC 2273. The broad-band spectrum is well represented by a…
The XMM-Newton observation of the nearby FR-II radio galaxy 3C 98 is reported. In two exposures on the target, faint diffuse X-ray emission associated with the radio lobes was significantly detected, together with a bright X-ray active…
A Chandra observation of the isolated hard X-ray source XMMU J061804.3+222732, located in the region of apparent interaction of the supernova remnant IC 443 with a molecular cloud, resolved the complex structure of the source in a few…
GRS 1758-258 is one of the few persistent hard X-ray emitters (E>100 keV) in the Galaxy. Using the ASCA satellite, we have obtained the first detailed data on GRS 1758-258 in the 1-10 keV range, where previous observations were affected by…
We investigated the non-thermal hard X-ray emission in the Ophiuchus cluster of galaxies. Our aim was to characterise the physical properties of the non-thermal component and its interaction with the cosmic microwave background. We…
Aims. We analyzed multi-epoch X-ray data of the Ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) NGC 5055 X-1, with luminosity up to $2.32\times10^{40}\ \rm erg\ s^{-1}$, in order to constrain the physical parameters of the source. Methods. We performed…
We present ROSAT (HRI and PSPC) and ASCA observations of the two luminous (L_x ~10^{41-42} erg s^{-1}) star-forming galaxies NGC3310 and NGC3690. The HRI shows clearly that the sources are extended with the X-ray emission in NGC3690 coming…
A Suzaku observation of the nucleus of the radio-loud AGN Centaurus A in 2005 has yielded a broadband spectrum spanning 0.3 to 250 keV. The net exposure times after screening were: 70 ks per X-ray Imaging Spectrometer (XIS) camera, 60.8 ks…
