Large Binocular Telescope observations of PSR J2043+2740
V. Testa, R. P. Mignani, N. Rea +5
We present the results of deep optical imaging of the radio/-ray pulsar PSR J2043+2740, obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). With a characteristic age of 1.2 Myr,…
The missing GeV γ-ray binary: Searching for HESS J0632+057 with Fermi-LAT
G. A. Caliandro, A. B. Hill, D. F. Torres +13
The very high energy (VHE; >100 GeV) source HESS J0632+057 has been recently confirmed as a γ-ray binary, a subclass of the high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) population, through the d…
Pronounced long term flux variability of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E1048.1-5937
S. Mereghetti, A. Tiengo, L. Stella +4
We present XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of 1E1048.1-5937, being the first to show evidence for a significant variation in the X-ray luminosity of this Anomalous X-ray Pulsar…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
Search for radio pulsations in four Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and discovery of two new pulsars
M. Burgay, N. Rea, G. L. Israel +5
We report on observations of four southern Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, (1RXS J170849.0-400910, 1E 1048.1-5937, 1E 1841-045 and AX J1845-0258), obtained at 1.4 GHz using the Parkes rad…
Optical Observations of PSR J0205+6449 - the next optical pulsar?
P. Moran, R. P. Mignani, S. Collins +3
PSR J0205+6449 is a young ({\approx} 5400 years), Crab-like pulsar detected in radio and at X and γ-ray energies and has the third largest spin-down flux among known rotation powe…
