We investigate the luminous X-ray sources in the Lockman Hole (LH) and the extended Groth strip (EGS) detected at 24 нјm using the Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) and also with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. We assemble optical/infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 45 X-ray/24 нјm sources in the EGS and LH. Only about one-quarter of the hard X-ray/24 нјm sources show pure type 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) SEDs. ... ADS Citation Query . ...

... This thread contains a step-by-step recipe to extract EPIC (pn will be used as an example) light-curves of a point-like source, starting from a calibrated, concatenated event list (either produced with epproc or available as PPS product; it will bear the name: PN.fits in this thread). The content of this thread is the same as Extraction of a X-ray light curve for a point-like source (command-line version). ... in the lccorr GUI window (see Fig.7) define at least the following widgets: . ...

... X-ray sources in galaxies: active nuclei, primodal black holes or microquasars . The last findings in observations of point-like X-ray sources in galaxies are reported. ... A new class of objects has been discovered - the Ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources, which could be as black holes of intermediate mass (100-1000 suns), being captured by galaxies and spiralling in because of dynamical friction, or microquasars (SS433-like stars), being orientated "face-on". ...

... Solar flare activity is produced by the processes of accumulation and release of energy in an active region. ... In the framework of study of solar active regions, producing powerful flares the researchers from the RATAN-600 radio telescope have detected sources with features in the form of a sharp drop in the intensity of polarized radiation in various parts of the recorded frequency range (2-16GHz), sometimes changing the sign of polarization. ...
