Neutron star mergers (NSMs) eject energetic sub-relativistic dynamical ejecta into the circumbinary media. As analogous to supernovae and supernova remnants, the NSM dynamical ejecta are expected to produce non-thermal emission by electrons…

Binary neutron star mergers are expected to produce fast dynamical ejecta, with mildly relativistic velocities extending to $\beta=v/c>0.6$. We consider the radio to X-ray synchrotron emission produced by collisionless shocks driven by such…

We present an update on the results of our monitoring observations of the X-ray remnant of supernova (SN) 1987A with the {\it Chandra X-Ray Observatory}. As of 2002 December, we have performed a total of seven observations of SN 1987A. The…

We present the soft X-ray spectrum of the LINER galaxy M81 derived from a long observation with the XMM RGS. The spectrum is dominated by continuum emission from the active nucleus, but also contains emission lines from Fe L, and H-like and…

We present X-ray equivalent width imaging of the supernova remnant (SNR) 3C 397 for Mg He\alpha, Si He\alpha, S He\alpha, and Fe K\alpha complex lines with the Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. The images reveal that the heavier the…
