    What Can We Learn about Compton-Thin AGN Tori from Their X-ray Spectra? *

    We have developed a Monte Carlo code for simulation of X-ray spectra of active galactic nuclei (AGN) based on a model of a clumpy obscuring torus. Using this code, we investigate the diagnostic power of X-ray ...

    Detection of large-scale X-ray bubbles in the Milky Way halo

    The halo of the Milky Way provides a laboratory to study the properties of the shocked hot gas that is predicted by models of galaxy formation. There is observational evidence of energy injection into the halo...

    On-ground calibration of the ART-XC/SRG mirror system and detector unit at IKI. Part III

    We have performed tests of the SRG project’s ART-XC telescope’s flight spare units of the mirror system (MS) and the URD focal plane X-ray detector. During the tests, the MS was illuminated by a quasi-parallel...

    On-ground calibration of the ART-XC/SRG mirror system and detector unit at IKI. Part II

    We have performed calibration tests of a spare CdTe detector unit of the ART-XC/SRG telescope at the Space Research Institute’s 60-m-long X-ray test facility. During the tests, we illuminated the detector with...

    Calibration of the ART-XC mirror modules at MSFC

    The Astronomical Röntgen Telescope X-ray Concentrator (ART-XC) is a hard X-ray telescope with energy response up to 30 keV, to be launched on board the Spectrum Röntgen Gamma (SRG) spacecraft in 2018. ART-XC c...

    Cobalt-56 γ-ray emission lines from the type Ia supernova 2014J

    The detection of 56Co γ-ray emission from the supernova 2014J proves that type Ia supernovae result from a thermonuclear explosion of a carbon–oxygen white dwarf or of a pair of merging white dwarfs.

    Discrete sources as the origin of the Galactic X-ray ridge emission

    An apparently diffuse Galactic ridge of X-ray emission, which appears from Earth to be virtually coincident with the Milky Way disk, has puzzled X-ray astronomers since it was first observed about 25 years ago...

    Supermassive Black Holes in Elliptical Galaxies: Switching from Very Bright to Very Dim

    Relativistic outflows (mainly observed in the radio) are a characteristic feature of both Galactic stellar mass black holes and supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of Ga...
