  • Chandra observations of M31 and their implications for its ISM

    We have been regularly observing the bulge and inner disk of M31 for nearly one year, using both the HRC-I and ACIS-I instruments on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory. We present results from our program that are of interest to the study of the ISM in M31. In particular, we find that the unresolved emission within 3' of the center of M31 has a

  • Chandra observations of the M31 transients XMMU J004215.8+411924 and SWIFT J004217.4+411532

    We report on 3 Chandra ACIS-I observations containing the two M31 transient X-ray sources announced by Haberl et al. (2006, ATel #881) and followed up by Pietsch et al. (2006, ATel #899). These observations are part of our ongoing Chandra/HST M31 transient program XMMU J004215.8+411924: This High Mass X-ray Binary was first observed with Chandra

  • Chandra observations of the radio jets in a sample of quasars

    We present the results from an X-ray and optical survey of a sample of radio jets in AGN with Chandra and HST. We focus on the first six sources observed at X-rays, in four of which a bright X-ray jet was detected for the first time. In three out of four cases optical emission from the jet is also detected in the HST images. We compare the X-ray

  • Chandra X-ray Observatory Observation of the Nucleus of M31

    As part of our Guaranteed Time Observer program on the Chandra X-Ray Observatory, we have an M31 observing program which has two major objectives. First to monitor the galaxy on a monthly basis to detect transient sources and follow their evolution. Second to obtain a deep image of the central region of M31 in order to measure the luminosity

  • Characteristics and Performance of the GAW Experiment for a Large Field of View Cerenkov Gamma-ray Telescope

    One of the intents of the ground-based gamma-ray astronomy is to obtain a sky survey in the TeV energy region, and nowadays this target can be reached with giant arrays of telescopes, which however need many pointings due to their small field of view. A different approach is on the basis of GAW, acronym for Gamma Air Watch, an array of three
