We present the first results from an XMM-Newton observation of the FRI galaxy NGC 4261, which harbors a supermassive black hole and a low-ionization nuclear emission-line region (LINER). Here we focus on the X-ray properties of the nucleus, using the EPIC pn data. The 0.6-10 keV continuum in best fitted by a thermal component with kT ~0.7 keV, plus a power law with photon index ~1.4, absorbed by a column density NH~4e22 cm-2. An unresolved Fe K emission line with EW 280 eV is detected at 7 keV. We also detect, for the first time, short-term flux variability from the nucleus, on a timescale of 3-5 ks. The short-term variations rule out an ADAF as the only production mechanism of the X-ray continuum. Instead, we argue that the inner jet contributes to the emission in the X-ray band.
We report on the nuclear X-ray properties of the radio galaxy NGC 6251 observed with XMM-Newton. NGC 6251 is a well-known radio galaxy with intermediate FRI/II radio properties. It is optically classified as a Seyfert 2 and hosts a supermassive black
We present an XMM observation of the radio jet and diffuse halo of the nearby radio galaxy NGC6251. The EPIC spectrum of the galaxys halo is best-fitted by a thermal model with temperature kT~1.6 keV and subsolar abundances. Interestingly, an additio
We present the analysis of an XMM-Newton observation of the M17 nebula. The X-ray point source population consists of massive O-type stars and a population of probable low-mass pre-main sequence stars. CEN1a,b and OI352, the X-ray brightest O-type st
IGRJ17361-4441 is a hard transient recently observed by the INTEGRAL satellite. The source, close to the center of gravity of the globular cluster NGC 6388, quickly became the target of follow-up observations conducted by the Chandra, Swift/XRT and R
We present results from two XMM-Newton observations of the bright classical Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 7582 taken four years apart (2001 May and 2005 April). We present the analysis of the high-resolution (0.3-1 keV) RGS and low-resolution (0.3-10 keV) EPI
