NASA shares new views of our galactic neighbor, Andromeda. This new composite image contains data of M31 taken by some of the world's most powerful telescopes in different kinds of light, revealing new information about our close galactic relative.

“The models were right”: astronomers find ‘missing’ matter. Astronomers have discovered a huge filament of hot gas bridging four galaxy clusters. The thread could contain some of the Universe’s ‘missing’ matter, addressing a decades-long mystery.

Using NASA's Chandra spacecraft and ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, astronomers have investigated the galaxy NGC 7793, where they discovered four new X-ray SNRs.

This finding established this PeVatron as a pulsar wind nebula type of cosmic ray source and is one of a few cases where scientists can identify the nature of PeVatrons.

Where did cosmic rays come from? Astrophysicists are closer to finding out. Using X-ray data from XMM-Newton, scientists found a pulsar wind nebula, an expanding bubble with relativistic electrons and positrons with energy injection from a pulsar.

The XMM-SAS Datalab allows straightforward X-ray data analysis with collaborative process, setting the way for future adaptations in e-science platforms and multi-wavelength astronomy, while offering traceability and reproducibility of scientific results.

The meeting was held in Osaka (Japan) and was attended by representatives from most current X-ray telescopes, like XRISM, Chandra, NuSTAR, NICER, and many more. Further details on web portal.

The XMM-Newton SOC and calibration team presented the status of the XMM-Newton instruments at the latest meeting of the International Astronomical Consortium for High-Energy Calibration (IACHEC) earlier last month.

Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite, Italian astronomers have observed a Galactic X-ray binary system known as 4U 0728-25. The observations shed more light into the persistent nature of the X-ray binary 4U 0728-25.

From boring to bursting: a giant black hole awakens. XMM-Newton is playing a crucial role in investigating the longest and most energetic bursts of X-rays seen from a newly awakened black hole.

Into the X-ray Universe • Exploring Cosmic Secrets | video by Iris Traulsen. Phenomena in the universe that are only visible in X-rays provide insights into the most extreme processes in the cosmos.

Astronomers discover new supergiant fast X-ray transient, expanding rare class. Using XMM-Newton, Italian astronomers, within the EXTraS project, report the detection of a new X-ray binary (XRB), which has received the designation 4XMM J181330.1-17511.

X-ray signal from Helix Nebula points to planet destroyed by white dwarf. Using today's most powerful X-ray missions, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and ESA's XMM-Newton, a much clearer picture of this decades-long enigma has emerged.

Astronomers Uncover Key Evidence for the Existence of Intermediate-Mass Black Hole, the missing link between stellar-mass black holes formed from the core collapse of massive stars, and supermassive black holes residing in the centers of most galaxies.

Using ESA's XMM-Newton satellite and NASA's Chandra X-ray observatory, astronomers have observed a young stellar object known as HL Tauri. The observation campaign yields important insights into long-term X-ray variability and properties of this object.

ESA - XMM-Newton finds two stray supernova remnants. The discovery indicates that the environment around the Large Magellanic Cloud is made up of more electrically charged gas than we would expect . Find the paper here,.
