Table 3

XMM-Newton spectral results of the soft thermal emitting region in the 0.3–5.0 keV energy range.

Parameter Value
NH (×1021 cm-2) in the Galaxy 0.6 (fixed)
NH (×1021 cm-2) in the LMC 0 (fixed)
kT (keV) 0.49  ±  0.12
Ionisation timescale*τ (s cm-3) (1.5  ±  0.7)  ×  1010
Absorbed flux (0.3–5.0 keV, erg/cm2/s) 2.5 × 10-13
Absorbed luminosity (0.3–5.0 keV, erg/s) 5.1 × 1034
Unabsorbed luminosity (0.3–5.0 keV, erg/s) 8.9 × 1034
Reduced χ2 1.27
Degrees of freedom 86

Notes. Model is VNEI with abundances fixed to 0.5 of the solar abundances.

(*)

The ionisation timescale τ = net, where ne is the electron number density and t is the age of the gas.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
