The complex behaviour of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in the rho class observed with BeppoSAX. II: Time-resolved spectral analysis
T. Mineo, E. Massaro, A. D'Ai +6
BeppoSAX observed GRS 1915+105 on October 2000 with a long pointing lasting about ten days. During this observation, the source was mainly in the rho class characterized by bursts…
Gamma-Ray and X-Ray Observations of the Periodic-Repeater FRB 180916 During Active Phases
M. Tavani, F. Verrecchia, C. Casentini +33
FRB 180916 is a most intriguing source at 150 Mpc distance capable of producing repeating fast radio bursts with a periodic 16.35 day temporal pattern. We report on the X-ray and $…
Prompt and afterglow X-ray emission from the X-Ray Flash of 2002 April 27
L. Amati, F. Frontera, J. J. M. in 't Zand +15
We report on the X-ray observations of the X-ray flash (XRF) which occurred on 2002 April 27, three days before BeppoSAX was switched off. The event was detected with the BeppoSAX…
Light from the Cosmic Frontier: Gamma-Ray Bursts
L. Amati, J. -L. Atteia, L. Balazs +41
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most powerful cosmic explosions since the Big Bang, and thus act as signposts throughout the distant Universe. Over the last 2 decades, these ultra-…
3rd Interplanetary Network Localization, Time History, Fluence, Peak Flux, and Distance Lower Limit of the February 28, 1997 Gamma-Ray Burst
K. Hurley, E. Costa, M. Feroci +9
The gamma-ray burst of 1997 February 28 was localized using the arrival-time analysis method with the Ulysses, BeppoSAX, and WIND spacecraft. The result is a plus-or-minus 31.5 arc…
The design of the wide field monitor for LOFT
S. Brandt, M. Hernanz, L. Alvarez +41
LOFT (Large Observatory For x-ray Timing) is one of the ESA M3 missions selected within the Cosmic Vision program in 2011 to carry out an assessment phase study and compete for a l…
