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/clumps are a result of fragmentation and condensation in the postshock region. The estimated electron density in the knots/clumps is about 10.0 cm(-3) less than or equal to n(e) less than or equal to 70.0 cm(-3). We suggest that the detected X-ray nebula could also be the reverse shock zone. This detection sheds light into one of the most poorly understood stages of the classical nova evolution.

The X-ray spectral evolution of classical Nova V1974 Cygni 1992: A reanalysis of the ROSAT data
Balman, Şölen; Krautter, J; Ogelman, H (IOP Publishing, 1998-05-20)
We present a spectral analysis of the archival X-ray data of classical Nova V1974 Cygni 1992 (Nova Cygni 1992) obtained by the ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC). The X-ray spectrum is fitted with a two-component model. The first component is a white dwarf atmosphere emission model developed for the remnants of classical novae near the Eddington luminosity. The model is used to fit the soft X-ray data in the similar to 0.1-1.0 keV range, where the bulk of emission is below 0.7 keV. The sec...
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...
Discovery of a transient magnetar: XTE J1810-197
Ibrahim, AI; Markwardt, CB; Swank, JH; Ransom, S; Roberts, M; Kaspi, V; Woods, PM; Safi-Harb, S; Balman, Şölen; Parke, WC; Kouveliotou, C; Hurley, K; Cline, T (IOP Publishing, 2004-07-01)
We report the discovery of a new X-ray pulsar, XTE J1810 - 197, that was serendipitously discovered on 2003 July 15 by the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) while observing the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806 - 20. The pulsar has a 5.54 s spin period, a soft X-ray spectrum ( with a photon index of approximate to 4), and is detectable in earlier RXTE observations back to 2003 January but not before. These show that a transient outburst began between 2002 November 17 and 2003 January 23 and that the source's pe...
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...
The first resolved and detected classical nova shell in X-rays in comparison with the ROSAT detections of hard X-ray emission from classical nova in outburst
Balman, Şölen; Ogelman, HB (2000-01-01)
We present the ROSAT High Resolution Imager (HRI) 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 shell is composed of knots and has an elliptical shape. The surface brightness is about 703.4+/-54.5 counts arcmin(-2). We estimate that the spectrum is of thermal origin with a luminosity of 8.0x10(31) erg s(-1) and an X-ray temperature of similar to 2.0x10(6) K in the 0.1-2.4 keV energy range. The knots are most likely a...
