    Accretion onto magnetized neutron stars - X-ray pulsars with intermediate rotation rates (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Assuming that the accreting material originates in a wind or envelope and therefore carried no net angular momentum, the Kevin-Helmholtz instability is applied to the transport of accreting plasma across the magnetopause of a rotating and magnetized neutron star for the case in which this surface is interchange-stable. Magnetopause location is determined, and the blackbody emission temperature is estimated. A possible period-dependence is noted in the X-ray temperature data which is in approximate agreement with the present model calculations. The magnetopause is found to be insufficiently stable to support an optically thick sheath of plasma surrounding the source, so that neither shrouding of the X-ray source nor significant reprocessing of the radiation field is possible in the model presented. It is concluded that while the flow structure at the magnetopause can control accretion column geometry, the emerging pulse profile and spectra are only indirectly altered, through a dynamical influence on emission region geometry.

    Low energy X-ray emission from five galaxy cluster sources (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: We report the detection of soft (0.2-2.5 keV) X-ray emission from several known cluster X-ray sources using the low energy detectors of the HEAO 1 A-2 experiment. Soft X-ray emission was observed from five clusters - the Centaurus cluster, Abell 2147, SC 1329-314, Abell 2319, and Abell 133. Spectral parameters estimated from the soft X-ray fluxes are inconsistent with those reported at higher energies for the Centaurus cluster, Abell 2147, and SC 1329-314, indicating the presence of more than one spectral component in these clusters. No evidence for more than one component was found for either Abell 2319 or Abell 133. The temperature of Abell 133 is constrained to be less than 2 x 10 to the 7th K, making it the coolest X-ray cluster yet detected.

    Einstein Observatory solid state spectrometer observations of M87 and the Virgo cluster (1982)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: X-ray observations of the galaxy M87 and of a region in the Virgo cluster displaced 7 arcmin from the center of M87 are reported. X-ray spectra were obtained at these two locations with the Solid State Spectrometer onboard the Einstein Observatory. Emission lines were observed in both locations, indicating the presence of heavy elements at abundances near solar. There is no strong abundance gradient, within the errors. A temperature gradient has been detected: T increases from about 1.4 keV at the position of M87 to about 3.35 keV 7 arcmin away. There is lower temperature thermal emission at the center of M87 with T about 0.6 keV, consistent with models for cooling flows in this cluster. A mass infall rate of nearly 20 solar masses/yr has been obtained. In addition to the thermal emission, a power-law component has been detected in the spectrum of M87, consistent with that observed by HEAO 1, indicating that this component probably originates in the galaxy itself. Comparison of the results with those of other observers and with theoretical models for this source indicates the presence of intracluster gas having density near 1/1000 per cu cm and temperature of about 30,000,000 K.

    HEAO 1 high energy X-ray observations of the Virgo cluster and A2142 (1981)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Observations are reported of the Virgo cluster and Abell 2142 in the energy range of 15-150 keV, detected by using hard X-ray and low energy gamma-ray instruments on board the HEAO-1 spacecraft, during 1977 and 1978. The Virgo cluster was detected at a mean flux of (1.3 + or - 0.3) x 10 to the 0.001 photons/sq cm-s in the 20-100 keV band, and A2142 was detected marginally at a flux of (2 + or - 0.8) x 10 to the 0.001 photons/sq cm-s in the 15-40 keV band. Inverse Compton emission was not observed in these clusters. Results are used to derive limits to the intracluster magnetic field of B approximately greater than 5 x 10 to the -7th gauss and B approximately 5 x 10 to the -8th gauss in the Virgo cluster and A1242, respectively. There is some evidence for variability in these sources, which implies that the hard X-ray emission originates in a relatively compact object or region rather than from the cluster as a whole.

    Einstein Observatory solid state spectrometer observations of M87 and the Virgo cluster (1982)
    In:  CASI
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: X-ray observations of the galaxy M87 and of a region in the Virgo cluster displaced 7 minutes from the center of M87 are presented. X-ray spectra are obtained at these two locations with the slid state spectrometer onboard the Einstein Observatory. Emission lines were observed in both locations, indicating the presence of heavy elements at abundances approximately solar (to within a factor of 2). A temperature gradient, T increases from approximately 1.4 keV at the position of M87 to T approximately 3.35 keV 7' away, was detected. There is lower temperature thermal emission at the center of M87 with T approximately 0.6 keV, consistent with models for cooling flows in this cluster. In addition to the thermal emission, a power law component in the spectrum of M87, was detected consistent with that observed by HEAO-1, indicating that this component probably originates in the galaxy itself. The presence of intracluster gas having density approximately .001 cu cm and temperature approximately 30 million K is indicated.
