Using 12CO and 13CO observations we present column density maps of the molecular cloud (V = -135 km/s) in the direction of 1E1740.7-2942. Hydrogen column densities of the cloud scatter between (3.5 - 11) 10**22 cm-2, depending on the method…

We report on the analysis from ~110 ks of X-ray observations of Centaurus A carried out with the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) and the High Energy X-ray Timing Experiment (HEXTE) instruments on Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during…

We have observed the black hole candidate 1E 1740.7 - 2942, the brightest persistent hard X-ray source within a few degrees of the Galactic centre, for 10 ksec with Chandra (ACIS-I) on August 2000. Attempting to compensate for pile-up…

(Abridged) We present the results from a detailed analysis of the 0.6 - 10 keV spectra of 23 ASCA observations of 18 objects. We find that in most cases the underlying continuum can be well-represented by a powerlaw with a photon index…

The microquasar 1E1740.7-2942, also known as the "Great Annihilator", was observed by NuSTAR in the Summer of 2012. We have analyzed in detail two observations taken ~2 weeks apart, for which we measure hard and smooth spectra typical of…

We present a detailed re-analysis of the two {\it ASCA} Performance Verification observations of the nearby Seyfert 1 galaxy MCG-6-30-15. Confirming the results of Fabian et al. (1994), we find definite evidence for the {\sc O\,vii} and…

We report on a joint ASCA and RXTE observation spanning an $\sim$ 400~ks time interval of the bright Seyfert~1 galaxy MCG--6-30-15. The data clearly confirm the presence of a broad skewed iron line ($W_{K\alpha} \sim$ 266 eV) and Compton…

AX J1745.6-2901 is a high-inclination (eclipsing) neutron star Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) located less than ~1.5 arcmin from Sgr A*. Ongoing monitoring campaigns have targeted Sgr A* frequently and these observations also cover AX…

We report the transition to an active state of the nucleus in the Seyfert 1.9 galaxy NGC 2992, discovered by means of new hard X-ray data. While the 2-10 keV flux declined by a factor of ~ 20 from 1978 to 1994, two recent BeppoSAX…

We report monitoring of the 0.3-10 keV spectrum of NGC4258 with XMM over 1.5 years.We als o report reprocessing of an overlapping series of archival Chandra observations. By including earlier ASCA and SAX observations, we present a new,…

We report results from simultaneous ASCA and RXTE observations of Cyg X-1 when the source made a rare transition from the hard (= low) state to the soft (= high) state in 1996. These observations together cover a broad energy range ~0.7--50…

We present two Suzaku observations of the Galactic center microquasar 1E 1740.7-2942 separated by approximately 700 days. The source was observed on both occasions after a transition to the spectrally hard state. Significant emission from…

We present the results of the analysis of an archival 15 ks XMM-Newton observation of the nearby (z=0.057) radio-loud source 3C445, optically classified as a Broad-Line Radio Galaxy. While the RGS data are of insufficient quality to allow a…

The region of the Galactic center contains several sources which demonstrate their activity at various wavelengths and particularly above several hundred keV. Escape of positrons from such a source or several sources into the interstellar…

The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer made a short (10 ks) observation of the radio galaxy Centaurus A on 14 August 1996. Analysis of the combined 2.5-240 keV spectrum has revealed a heavily absorbed(NH=9.42+/-0.24 e22 cm-2) primary power law…

The black hole system 1E${\thinspace}$1740.7$-$2942 is usually the brightest hard X-ray source (above 20 keV) near the Galactic Center, but presents some epochs of low emission (below the INTEGRAL detection limit, for example). In this…

We present measurements of carbon, oxygen, silicon, and iron in quasar absorption systems existing when the universe was roughly one billion years old. We measure column densities in nine low-ionization systems at 4.7 < z < 6.3 using Keck,…

We have observed the broad-line radio galaxy Arp 102B with ASCA in order to determine the absorbing column density towards its X-ray source and measure its X-ray spectrum. The ultimate goal was to constrain the properties of the medium…

We obtained X-ray spectra of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC~3516 in March 1995 using ASCA. Simultaneous far-UV observations were obtained with HUT on the Astro-2 shuttle mission. The ASCA spectrum shows a lightly absorbed power law of energy…

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…
