Cygnus A - Study of a Radio Galaxy
A comprehensive and up-to-date review of Cygnus A and what it can teach us about other active galaxies - for graduate students and researchers.
Enrichment study of hot intra-cluster gas through X-ray spectroscopy
Clusters of galaxies are the biggest objects known in the universe. They consist of large groups of hundreds of galaxies that each contain hundreds of billions of stars. The member galaxies are embedded in a cloud of hot X-ray emitting gas that spans over millions of light years. During the formation of clusters, a large fraction of the chemical elements that supernova explosions produce is ejected from the galaxies into the surrounding hot gas. In this thesis, Jelle de Plaa presents the results of his study of this chemical enrichment of the hot gas. He used observations performed by ESA's XMM-Newton X-ray observatory to measure the abundances of several elements and compared them to supernova-model yields.
The Nature of Compact Objects in Active Galactic Nuclei
What evidence is there for and against unified schemes for active galactic nuclei (AGN)? How do the AGN populations evolve over cosmological timescales? And what can the variability of their UV and X-ray emission tell us? These are just some of the exciting issues addressed in this volume of papers collected from the 33rd Herstmonceux conference in Cambridge. AGN are among the most spectacular objects known to astronomy. Yet, despite years of intense and wide-ranging research, the debate continues - what is their fundamental source of power? Rapid progress has been made towards answering this question by a variety of large-scale, multi-wavelength monitoring campaigns and the latest generation of satellite-borne observations. This volume provides a valuable overview and timely update of the exciting and rapidly developing field of AGN research - essential reading for graduate students and researchers.
