Chandra Detection of Fe XVII in Absorption: Iron Abundance in the Hot Gaseous Interstellar Medium (2006)

Yao, Yangsen, Schulz, Norbert, Wang, Q. Daniel, Nowak, Michael

The iron depletion level and the gas-phase iron abundance in the hot ~10^6 K interstellar medium (ISM) is critical to the understanding of its energy balance as well as the thermal sputtering,...

Is the `IR Coincidence' Just That? (2005)

Nowak, Michael, Wilms, Joern, Heinz, Sebastian, Pooley, Guy, Pottschmidt, Katja, Corbel, Stephane

(Abridged) Motch (1985) suggested that in the hard state of GX 339-4 the soft X-ray power-law extrapolated backward in energy agrees with the IR flux. Corbel & Fender (2002) showed that the hard...

Chandra Observations of the Interacting NGC 4410 Galaxy Group (2003)

Smith, Beverly J., Nowak, Michael, Donahue, Megan, Stocke, John

We present high resolution X-ray imaging data from the ACIS-S instrument on the Chandra telescope of the nearby interacting galaxy group NGC 4410. Four galaxies in the inner portion of this group are...

Astronomy Astrophysics manuscript no. h3854 October 18, 2002 (2002)

Sera Marko, Michael Nowak, Rob Fender, Heino Falcke

The Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary GX 339 4 spends most of its time in the low/hard state, making it an ideal candidate for modeling the assumedly low accretion phase. The radio emission...

Hiding in Plain Sight: Chandra Observations of the Quiescent Neutron Star 4U 2129+47 in Eclipse (2002)

Nowak, Michael, Heinz, Sebastian, Begelman, Mitchell

During a previous outburst phase, the neutron star 4U 2129+47 exhibited evidence for a spatially extended corona via broad, partial X-ray eclipses occurring periodically on the 5.24 hr orbit. Since...

A Deep X-Ray Observation Of Ngc 4258 And Its Surrounding Field (2000)

Christopher Reynolds, Michael Nowak, Philip Maloney

We present a deep X-ray observation of the low-luminosity active galactic nucleus in NGC 4258 (M 106) using the Advanced Satellite for Cosmology and Astrophysics (ASCA). Confirming previous results,...

Low Luminosity States of the Black Hole Candidate GX 339-4. I. ASCA and Simultaneous Radio/RXTE Observations (1999)

Wilms, Joern, Nowak, Michael, Dove, James B., Fender, Robert P., Di Matteo, Tiziana

We discuss a series of observations of the black hole candidate GX 339-4 in low luminosity, spectrally hard states. We present spectral analysis of three separate archival Advanced Satellite for...

Low Luminosity States Of The Black Hole Candidate GX 339-4. II. Timing Analysis (1998)

Michael Nowak, Wilms James

Here we present timing analysis of a set of eight Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the black hole candidate GX 339--4 that were taken during its hard/low state. On long time scales,...

RXTE Observation of Cygnus X-1: II. Timing Analysis (1998)

Michael Nowak, Brian Vaughan, Wilms James, Mitchell Begelman

We present timing analysis for a Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation of Cygnus X-1 in its hard/low state. This was the first RXTE observation of Cyg X-1 taken after it transited back to this...

X-Ray Variability Coherence: How To Compute It, What It Means, And How It Constrains Models Of Gx (1997)

Brian Vaughan, Michael Nowak

We describe how the coherence function---a Fourier frequency--dependent measure of the linear correlation between time series measured simultaneously in two energy channels---can be used in...

Transporttheoretische Untersuchungen zur Vorausbestimmung der Applikationsleistung der 14-MeV- Neutronenaktivierungsanalyse. (1976)
