Over the past year, we have celebrated the tenth anniversary of the Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observatories. Both carry powerful, novel diffraction grating spectrometers, which have opened true X-ray spectroscopy for astrophysics. I will describe the design and operation of these instruments, as the background to some of the beautiful results they have produced. But these designs do not exhaust the versatility and essential simplicity of diffraction grating spectrometers, and I will discuss applications for the International X-ray Observatory IXO. 相似文献

We discuss the detection of soft excess X-ray emission in a sample of 19 clusters of galaxies observed by XMM-Newton. In 6/19 clusters evidence for a soft X-ray excess is found. Four of these clusters show soft X-ray and O VII line emission from gas with a temperature of 0.2 keV. The centroid of this oxygen line is consistent with the redshift of the cluster. The intensity and spatial extend of the soft excess agrees with previous PSPC measurements. These observations are interpreted as emission from warm-hot intergalactic medium filaments, with density enhancements near the cluster centers, consistent with theoretical predictions. In the other two soft excess clusters a non-thermal origin is consistent with the data. 相似文献

EXOSAT observations of the dwarf nova VW Hydri reveal a strong soft X-ray flux during optical superoutburst. The onset of the X-ray outburst was delayed by 2.5 days compared to the optical outburst. A modulation of the extreme soft X-ray flux was detected, consistent with a coherent (0 >x 107) pulsation with a period of 14.07 seconds, probably reflecting the rotation period of the white dwarf.IIf this is indeed the case, VW Hydri is the fastest rotating white dwarf detected so far. 相似文献

EXOSAT has observed 19 hot white dwarfs with alleged strong soft X-ray emission. Positive detection of a large fraction of this sample was obtained, among these practically all hot DA dwarfs. High-resolution spectral data, acquired with the 500 1/mm grating spectrometer, indicates no traces of He in the atmosphere of HZ43, i.e. n(He)/n(H) ? 10?5 at a photospheric temperature of 60000 K (log g = 8). In contrast, the hot DA1 dwarf Feige 24 shows the presence of an appreciable He-abundance (n(He)/n(H) ? 10?3); however no simple homogeneously mixed H/He atmosphere can explain the observed spectral shape. 相似文献

We briefly review capabilities and requirements for future instrumentation in UV- and X-ray astronomy that can contribute
to advancing our understanding of the diffuse, highly ionised intergalactic medium. 相似文献

We discuss the different physical processes that are important to understand the thermal X-ray emission and absorption spectra
of the diffuse gas in clusters of galaxies and the warm-hot intergalactic medium. The ionisation balance, line and continuum
emission and absorption properties are reviewed and several practical examples are given that illustrate the most important
diagnostic features in the X-ray spectra. 相似文献

The Warm-Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM) is thought to contribute about 40–50% to the baryonic budget at the present evolution
stage of the universe. The observed large scale structure is likely to be due to gravitational growth of density fluctuations
in the post-inflation era. The evolving cosmic web is governed by non-linear gravitational growth of the initially weak density
fluctuations in the dark energy dominated cosmology. Non-linear structure formation, accretion and merging processes, star
forming and AGN activity produce gas shocks in the WHIM. Shock waves are converting a fraction of the gravitation power to
thermal and non-thermal emission of baryonic/leptonic matter. They provide the most likely way to power the luminous matter
in the WHIM. The plasma shocks in the WHIM are expected to be collisionless. Collisionless shocks produce a highly non-equilibrium
state with anisotropic temperatures and a large differences in ion and electron temperatures. We discuss the ion and electron
heating by the collisionless shocks and then review the plasma processes responsible for the Coulomb equilibration and collisional
ionisation equilibrium of oxygen ions in the WHIM. MHD-turbulence produced by the strong collisionless shocks could provide
a sizeable non-thermal contribution to the observed Doppler parameter of the UV line spectra of the WHIM. 相似文献

We present the work of an international team at the International Space Science Institute (ISSI) in Bern that worked together
to review the current observational and theoretical status of the non-virialised X-ray emission components in clusters of
galaxies. The subject is important for the study of large-scale hierarchical structure formation and to shed light on the
“missing baryon” problem. The topics of the team work include thermal emission and absorption from the warm-hot intergalactic
medium, non-thermal X-ray emission in clusters of galaxies, physical processes and chemical enrichment of this medium and
clusters of galaxies, and the relationship between all these processes. One of the main goals of the team is to write and
discuss a series of review papers on this subject. These reviews are intended as introductory text and reference for scientists
wishing to work actively in this field. The team consists of sixteen experts in observations, theory and numerical simulations. 相似文献
