We analyze 18 sources that were found to show interesting properties of periodicity, very soft spectra and/or large long-term variability in X-rays in our project of classification of sources from the 2XMMi-DR3 catalog but were poorly…
The 10 by 10 degrees region around dynamic center of our Galaxy is known to host a large number of bright X-ray sources, most of which are low mass binary systems. While high luminosity Z-sources are especially bright in the standard X-ray…
We report the results of radio flux-monitoring and high resolution observations at 3.6 cm with the VLA, of the central condensation in G10.0-0.3, the radio nebula surrounding the soft gamma ray repeater (SGR) 1806-20. The quiescent X-ray…
The INTEGRAL satellite, during its regular scanning observations of the Galactic plane, has discovered several new X-ray sources emitting above 20 keV. The nature of the great majority of them is still unknown. Here we report on the likely…
The hard X-ray source IGR J16318-4848 was recently discovered by the INTEGRAL observatory (Courvoisier et al.) and subsequently uncovered in archival data of ASCA observations in 1994 (Murakami et al.). We present results of a detailed…
We combine emission line and X-ray luminosities for 45 sources from the Chandra Deep Field South (CDF-S), and seven HELLAS sources, to obtain a new sample of 52 X-ray selected type-II active galactic nuclei (AGNs). Eighteen of our sources…
AX J1843.8-0352 is a new X-ray SNR identified to the radio complex G28.6-0.1 with the ASCA satellite. Chandra discovered two distinct components from this SNR: non-thermal and thin thermal X-ray emissions. The non-thermal component is…
Chandra X-ray imaging spectroscopy of the starburst galaxy Henize 2-10 reveals a strong nuclear point source and at least two fainter compact sources embedded within a more luminous diffuse thermal component. Spectral fits to the nuclear…
We present near-infrared long-slit spectra of eight optically-dim X-ray sources obtained with ISAAC on the Very Large Telescope. Six of the sources have hard X-ray emission with a significant fraction of the counts emerging above 2 keV. All…
An elongated X-ray source with a strong K-shell line from He-like iron (Fe XXVI) is found at (RA, Dec)_{J2000.0}=(17h44m00s.0, -29D13'40''.9) in the Galactic center region. The position coincides with the X-ray thread, G359.55+0.16, which…
We report the discovery of pulsed X-ray emission from the compact object CXOU J112439.1-591620 within the supernova remnant (SNR) G292.0+1.8 using the High Resolution Camera on the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The X-ray period (P=0.13530915…
We present a large sample of infrared-luminous candidate active galactic nuclei (AGNs) that lack X-ray detections in Chandra, XMM-Newton, and NuSTAR fields. We selected all optically detected SDSS sources with redshift measurements,…
We present the most complete study to date of the X-ray emission from star-formation in high redshift (median z=0.7; z<1.5), IR-luminous (L_IR=10^10-10^13 L_sun) galaxies detected by Herschel's PACS and SPIRE instruments. For our purpose we…
We present X-ray observations of nine Weak-Line Radio Galaxies (WLRGs), optically classified as confirmed or possible Low Ionization Nuclear Emission-line Regions (LINERs). The data were taken from the Chandra, XMM, and BeppoSax archives.…
Observations of diffuse Galactic gamma-ray spectrum by the EGRET instrument reveal an excess above ~ 1 GeV over the expected gamma-ray spectrum calculated under the assumption that the locally observed cosmic-ray (CR) spectra represent the…
The scattering diameters of Sgr A* and several nearby OH masers (~ 1" at 1 GHz) indicate that a region of enhanced scattering is along the line of sight to the Galactic center. The scattering diameter of an extragalactic source seen through…
We perform long-term ($\approx 15$ yr, observed-frame) X-ray variability analyses of the 68 brightest radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the 6 Ms $Chandra$ Deep Field-South (CDF-S) survey; the majority are in the redshift range of…
A number of giant HII regions are associated with soft diffuse X-ray emission. Among these, the Carina nebula possesses the brightest soft diffuse emission. The required plasma temperature and thermal energy can be produced by collisions or…
We identify the radio-emitting shell-type supernova remnant G15.9+0.2 as a relatively young remnant containing an X-ray point source that may be its associated neutron star. The integrated spectrum of the remnant shell obtained from our 30…
The Galactic Center Region has been surveyed in 1997-1998 with the Narrow Field Instruments on-board the BeppoSAX satellite (2-10keV energy range). The X-ray emission from SgrA*, the putative supermassive black hole at the center of our…
