XMM-Newton and NuSTAR simultaneous X-ray observations of IGR J11215-5952
L. Sidoli, A. Tiengo, A. Paizis +3
We report the results of an XMM-Newton and NuSTAR coordinated observation of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) IGRJ11215-5952, performed on February 14, 2016, during the e…
The Fast Radio Burst FRB 20201124A in a star forming region: constraints to the progenitor and multiwavelength counterparts
L. Piro, G. Bruni, E. Troja +16
We present the results of a multiwavelength campaign of FRB 20201124A, the third closest repeating fast radio burst recently localized in a nearby (z=0.0978) galaxy. Deep VLA obser…
In-orbit background of X-ray microcalorimeters and its effects on observations
S. Lotti, D. Cea, C. Macculi +6
Methods.There are no experimental data about the background experienced by microcalorimeters in the L2 orbit, and thus the particle background levels were calculated by means of Mo…
Estimate of the impact of background particles on the X-Ray Microcalorimeter Spectrometer on IXO
S. Lotti, E. Perinati, L. Natalucci +4
We present the results of a study on the impact of particles of galactic (GCR) and solar origin for the X-ray Microcalorimeter Spectrometer (XMS) aboard an astronomical satellite f…
A search for optical and near-infrared counterparts of the compact binary merger GW190814
A. L. Thakur, S. Dichiara, E. Troja +29
We report on our observing campaign of the compact binary merger GW190814, detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors on August 14th, 2019. This signal has the best…
Soft proton scattering at grazing incidence from X-ray mirrors: analysis of experimental data in the framework of the non-elastic approximation
R. Amato, T. Mineo, A. D'Aì +9
Astronomical X-ray observatories with grazing incidence optics face the problem of pseudo-focusing of low energy protons from the mirrors towards the focal plane. Those protons con…
