An engaging book for the Physics aficionado 'For the Love of Physics: From the End of the Rainbow to the Edge of Time - A Journey Through the Wonders of Physics’ by Walter Lewin is an engaging book which tries to explain the concepts of the subject in a unique and interactive manner. We all go through physics exams and study its concepts, but have you ever wondered what these concepts actually mean to our race, to our planet and their importance for our existence? This takes you on a journey...

We analyzed archival Chandra X-ray observations of the central portion of the 30 Doradus region in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The image contains 20 X-ray point sources with luminosities between $5 \times 10^{32}$ and $2 \times 10^{35}$ erg s$^{-1}$ (0.2 -- 3.5 keV). A dozen sources have bright WN Wolf-Rayet or spectral type O stars as optical counterparts. Nine of these are within $\sim 3.4$pc of R136, the central star cluster of NGC2070. We derive an empirical relation between the X-ray...

We present Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations that monitor the neutron star cooling of the quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transients KS 1731-260 and MXB 1659-29 for approximately 4 years after these sources returned to quiescence from prolonged outbursts. In both sources the outbursts were long enough to significantly heat the neutron star crust out of thermal equilibrium with the core. We analyse the X-ray spectra by fitting absorbed neutron star atmosphere models to the...

We present an X-ray fast-timing and spectral analysis of the type II bursts and the persistent emission (PE) of the Rapid Burster observed with the EXOSAT Medium-Energy Instrument. The Hardness-Intensity and Color-Color Diagrams of the Rapid Burster are somewhat different from those of the majority of other low-mass X-ray binaries, which fall into two distinct groups, ``atoll'' and ``Z'' sources. The strength and frequencies of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in the bursts and the PE, as well...

We report the discovery of a kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillation (kHz QPO) in the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 2S 0918-549. The kHz QPO has a frequency of 1156+-9 Hz, a FWHM of 70+-20 Hz, and a fractional rms amplitude of 18%+-2%. We also detected for the first time a type I X-ray burst in this source. The compact object must therefore be a neutron star. Finally, we were able to classify the source as an atoll source exhibiting the full complement of spectral/timing states of this class...
