The Chandra COSMOS Survey (C-COSMOS) is a large, 1.8 Ms, Chandra program that has imaged the central 0.9 deg^2 of the COSMOS field down to limiting depths of 1.9 10^-16 erg cm^-2 s-1 in the 0.5-2 keV band, 7.3 10^-16 erg cm^-2 s^-1 in the…

We have conducted a systematic study of X-ray emission from ultra-compact dwarf (UCD) galaxies and extended star clusters (ESCs), based on archival {\sl Chandra} observations. Among a sample of 511 UCDs and ESCs complied from the…

With ~2 Ms of Chandra exposure, the Chandra Deep Field-North (CDF-N) survey provides the deepest view of the Universe in the 0.5-8.0 keV band. Five hundred and three (503) X-ray sources are detected down to on-axis 0.5-2.0 keV and 2-8 keV…

We have observed the twin-jet radio galaxy 3C296 with Chandra. X-ray emission is detected from the nucleus, from the inner parts of the radio jet, and from a small-scale thermal environment around the jet deceleration region. As we have…

Identifying trends between observational data and the range of physical parameters of massive stars is a critical step to the still-elusive full understanding of the source, structure, and evolution of X-ray emission from the stellar winds,…

We present the analysis of nine radio sources belonging to the Third Cambridge Revised catalog (3CR) observed with $Chandra$ during Cycle 20 in the redshift range between 1.5 and 2.5. This study completes the 3CR $Chandra$ Snapshot Survey…

Our VLA observations of the XMM-Newton/Chandra 13hr deep survey field (see Page et al., this proceedings) result in one of the two deepest 1.4GHz radio maps ever made. Within the 15' radius field covered by the deep X-ray data (0.19 sq…

As part of the Chandra GTO program we are monitoring and surveying M31 using the HRC and ACIS cameras. These observations have resolved the nuclear X-ray source into five separate sources, one of which is very soft and may (or may not!) be…

The respective contribution of disk and jet components to the total emission in low luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGNs) is an open question. This paper suggests that $\gamma$-rays emitted from electrons accelerated in jets could be a…

The jet may compress an interstellar medium and soft X-ray may be absorbed outside the jet by a compressed interstellar medium and thermal emission heated by a shock is expected inside the jet. I analyze X-ray image of surroundings of the…

Modelling of deep VLA images of the jets in FR I radio galaxies has allowed us to derive their three-dimensional distributions of velocity, emissivity and magnetic-field structure on kiloparsec scales. By combining our models of jet…

We present spectral results, from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations, of a sample of 22 low-redshift (z < 0.1) radio galaxies, and consider whether the core emission originates from the base of a relativistic jet, an accretion flow, or…

We describe the X-ray analysis procedure of the on-going Chandra Multiwavelength Plane (ChaMPlane) survey and report the initial results from the analysis of 15 selected anti-Galactic center observations (90 deg < l < 270 deg). We describe…

In the last eight years, the Chandra and XMM-Newton satellites changed significantly our view of X-ray clusters of galaxies. In particular, several complex phenomena have been directly observed: interactions between cluster galaxies and the…

It is currently unknown whether the Universe was reionized by quasars or stars at z>5. We point out that quasars can be best distinguished from stellar systems by their X-ray emission. Based on a simple hierarchical CDM model, we predict…
