We present results from Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the bright group of galaxies HCG 62. There are two cavities at about 30 northeast and 20 southwest of the central galaxy in the Chandra image. The energy spectrum shows no significant change in the cavity compared with that in the surrounding region. The radial X-ray profile is described by a sum of 3-beta components with core radii about 2, 10, and 160 kpc, respectively. We studied radial distributions of temperature and metal abundance with joint spectral fit for the Chandra and XMM-Newton data, and two temperatures were required in the inner r< 2 (35 kpc) region. The sharp drop of temperature at r about 5 implies the gravitational mass density even lower than the gas density, suggesting the gas may not be in hydrostatic equilibrium. Fe and Si abundances are 1-2 solar at the center and drop to about 0.1 solar at r about 10. O abundance is less than 0.5 solar and shows a flatter profile. Observed metal distribution supports the view that iron and silicon are produced by type Ia supernova in the central galaxy, while galactic winds by type II supernova have caused wide distribution of oxygen. The supporting mechanism of the cavity is discussed. Pressure for the sum of electrons and magnetic field is too low to displace the hot group gas, and the required pressure due to high energy protons are nearly 700 times higher than the electron pressure. This leaves the origin of the cavities a puzzle, and we discuss other possible origins of the cavities.
We report on the results of an analysis of Chandra, XMM-Newton and new GMRT data of the X-ray bright compact group of galaxies HCG 62, which is one of the few groups known to possess clear, small X-ray cavities in the inner regions. This is part of a
The archival XMM-Newton data of the central region of M31 were analyzed for diffuse X-ray emission. Point sources with the 0.5--10 keV luminosity exceeding $sim 4 times 10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$ were detected. Their summed spectra are well reproduced by
We choose the bright compact group HCG 62, which was found to exhibit both excess X-ray emission and high Fe abundance to the southwest of its core, as an example to study the impact of mergers on chemical enrichment in the intragroup medium. We firs
Using new XMM and Chandra observations we present an analysis of the metal abundances of the hot gas within a radius of 100 kpc of the bright nearby galaxy group NGC 5044. Motivated by the inconsistent abundance and temperature determinations obtaine
We present Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the composite star-forming/Seyfert galaxy IRAS20051-1117. The X-ray imaging and spectral properties reveal the presence of an active nucleus. The Chandra image shows a strong nuclear point source (L(2
