A massive x-ray outflow from the quasar PDS 456. (2003)
Reeves, J. N., O'Brien, P. T., Ward, M. J.
We report on XMM-Newton spectroscopic observations of the luminous radio-quiet quasar PDS 456. The hard X-ray spectrum of PDS 456 shows a deep absorption trough (constituting 50% of the continuum) at...
The unusual supernova remnant surrounding the ultraluminous X-ray source IC 342 X-1. (2003)
Roberts, T. P., Goad, M. R., Ward, M. J., Warwick, R. S.
We report the results of an observation of a large-diameter (110 pc) supernova remnant (SNR) found to encircle the position of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) IC 342 X-1. The inferred initial...
The collimated wind in NGC 253 (2003)
Sugai, H., Davies, R. I., Ward, M. J.
Near-infrared Fabry-Perot imaging has revealed H-2 emission extended to about 130 pc from the disk of NGC 253. It is closely related to the hot plasma observed in soft X-rays: filamentary H-2...
Investigating the central engine of ultraluminous infrared galaxies: near-infrared imaging (2002)
Davies, R. I., Burston, A., Ward, M. J.
We present 0.5-arcsec-resolution near-infrared images of six ultraluminous infrared galaxies with known redshifts. Six of the eight bright nuclei are resolved on kiloparsec scales, suggesting that...
The identification of an optical counterpart to the super-Eddington X-ray source NGC 5204 X-1 (2001)
Roberts, T.P., Goad, M.R., Ward, M.J., Warwick, R.S., O'Brien, P.T., Lira, P., ...
We report the identification of a possible optical counterpart to the super-Eddington X-ray source NGC 5204 X-1. New Chandra data show that the X-ray source is point-like, with a luminosity of...
Ultraluminous x-ray sources in external galaxies. (2001)
King, A. R., Davies, M. B., Ward, M. J., Fabbiano, G., Elvis, M.
We investigate models for the class of ultraluminous nonnuclear X-ray sources (i.e., ultraluminous compact X-ray sources [ULXs]) seen in a number of galaxies and probably associated with star-forming...
