I discuss morphology and spectrum of the first resolved and detected classical nova shell in the X-rays - the remnant of GK Persei (1901). The existence of such a nebulosity brings about the possibility of other nova remnants emitting X-rays. I calculate that the X-ray luminosity should be about 10(26) - 10(33) ergs s(-1) on the onset of cooling for nova remnants. I have done an archival search on 250 classical and recurrent nova candidates using Chandra, XMM-Newton, ROSAT and ASCA databases. There is no significant extended emission detected which places an upper limit of F(x) < x 10(-12) erg s(-1) cm(-2) (unabsorbed). Only exceptions are GK Per, RR Pic and DQ Her (all observed by Chandra ACIS-S and GK Per also by ROSAT HRI) where the latter two show marginal extended emission in the X-rays associated with emission knots (DQ Her) or an equatorial ring (RR Pic).

The first resolved and detected classical nova shell in X-rays: The shell of Nova Persei 1901 Balman, Şölen; Ogelman, HB (IOP Publishing, 1999-06-20) We present the ROSAT High-Resolution Imager data of the first resolved and detected classical nova shell in the X-ray wavelengths: the shell of Nova Persei 1901. We find that the X-ray nebula is composed of knots/clumps and has an elliptical shape with a total count rate of about 0.01 +/- 0.001 counts s(-1). We estimate that the spectrum is of thermal origin with a luminosity of similar to 8.0 x 10(31) ergs s(-1) and an X-ray temperature of similar to 2.0 x 10(6) K in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy range. The knots...
The neural network technique - 2: an ionospheric example illustrating its application Tulunay, Yurdanur; Tulunay, E; Senalp, ET (Elsevier BV, 2004-01-01) An example of modeling of Near Earth Space Processes by empoying the Neural Network Approach [Tulunay et al., Adv. Space Res., this current issue, 2003] is considered. The temporal and spatial forecasting of ionospheric critical frequency f(o)F2 values up to 24 h in advance by using the METUNN model is briefly covered. (C) 2003 COSPAR. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

The XMM-Newton detection of extended emission from the nova remnant of T Pyxidis Balman, Şölen (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-05-01) We report the detection of an extended X-ray nebulosity with an elongation from north-east to south-west in excess of 15 arcsec in a radial profile and imaging of the recurrent nova T Pyx using the archival data obtained with the X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton), European Photon Imaging Camera (pn instrument). The signal-to-noise ratio in the extended emission (above the point source and the background) is 5.2 over the 0.3-9.0 keV energy range and 4.9 over the 0.3-1.5 keV energy range. We calculate a...
The effect of geomagnetic activity changes on the ionospheric critical frequencies (foF2) at magnetic conjugate points TİMOÇİN, ERDİNÇ; ÜNAL, İBRAHİM; Tulunay, Yurdanur; GÖKER, ÜMİT DENİZ (Elsevier BV, 2018-08-15) In this work, we investigate the possible effects of geomagnetic activity on the ionospheric critical frequencies (foF2) in geomagnetic conjugate points. For this purpose, hourly foF2 data measured for the year 1976 from the ionosonde stations Akita, St. John's and Resolute Bay in the Northern hemisphere and their corresponding magnetic conjugate ionosonde stations Brisbane, Halley Bay and Scott Base in the Southern hemisphere are examined. Planetary geomagnetic activity "3h-K-p" indices are used as a geoma...
Recombining Plasma and Gamma-Ray Emission in the Mixed-morphology Supernova Remnant 3C 400.2 Ergin, Tülün; Sano, H.; Yamazaki, R.; Fukui, Y. (American Astronomical Society, 2017-06-10) 3C 400.2 belongs to the mixed-morphology supernova remnant class, showing center-filled X-ray and shell-like radio morphology. We present a study of 3C 400.2 with archival Suzaku and Fermi-LAT observations. We find recombining plasma (RP) in the Suzaku spectra of north-east and south-east regions. The spectra of these regions are well described by two-component thermal plasma models: the hard component is in RP, while the soft component is in collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE) conditions. The RP has e...
