We investigate the luminous X-ray sources in the Lockman Hole (LH) and the extended Groth strip (EGS) detected at 24 нјm using the Multiband Imaging Photometer (MIPS) and also with the Infrared Array Camera (IRAC) on board the Spitzer Space Telescope. We assemble optical/infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) for 45 X-ray/24 нјm sources in the EGS and LH. Only about one-quarter of the hard X-ray/24 нјm sources show pure type 1 active galactic nucleus (AGN) SEDs. ... ADS Citation Query . ...

This is the final version of the ChASeM33 source catalog ("D" release) which contains 662 X-ray sources (70 are "possibly/confidently" extended). ... The ChASeM33 source catalog was created by using ACIS Extract, a software package written and maintained by Patrick Broos at Penn State University (USA). ... To learn about the adopted data reduction strategy and the results, we refer to The Final Source Caftalog paper from T llmann et al. ...

... Each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2011 April 19 . The GRB 110328A Symphony . ... Explanation: A symphony of planet-wide observations began abruptly on March 28 when the Earth-orbiting Swift satellite detected a burst of high-frequency gamma-rays from GRB 110328A. When the same source flared again after a 45 minute pause it was clear this event was not a typical gamma-ray burst . ...

This source is hiding behind our Galaxy at a distance of ~18 Mpc, located at a galactic latitide of 0 degrees. ... As we look towards longer wavelengths, 60 micron, to try and penetrate the Galactic Plane, we still see confusion from galactic sources. ... If the image seems some what confusing that is because the MOST is a continuum radio telescope and when it looks in the direction of our Galaxy it detects radiation from sources within our Galaxy and from sources that may lie behind our Galaxy. ...
