From ultraluminous X-ray sources to ultraluminous supersoft sources: NGC 55 ULX, the missing link
C. Pinto, W. Alston, R. Soria +8
In recent work with high-resolution grating spectrometers (RGS) aboard XMM-Newton Pinto et al. (2016) have discovered that two bright and archetypal ultraluminous X-ray sources (UL…
Parameter estimation for gravitational-wave bursts with the BayesWave pipeline
Bence Bécsy, Peter Raffai, Neil J. Cornish +6
We provide a comprehensive multi-aspect study on the performance of a pipeline used by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration for estimating parameters of gravitational-wave bursts. We add s…
Crossing the Eddington limit: examining disk spectra at high accretion rates
Andrew D. Sutton, Douglas A. Swartz, Timothy P. Roberts +3
The faintest ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), those with 0.3-10 keV luminosities 1 < L_X/10^39 < 3 erg s^-1, tend to have X-ray spectra that are disk-like but broader than expec…
Geminga's puzzling pulsar wind nebula
B. Posselt, G. G. Pavlov, P. O. Slane +6
We report on six new Chandra observations of the Geminga pulsar wind nebula (PWN). The PWN consists of three distinct elongated structures - two pc long later…
Deep Chandra Observations of the Pulsar Wind Nebula Created by PSR B0355+54
Noel Klingler, Blagoy Rangelov, Oleg Kargaltsev +10
We report on Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO) observations of the pulsar wind nebula (PWN) associated with PSR B0355+54 (eight observations with a 395 ks total exposure, performed o…
Gravitational wave observations may constrain gamma-ray burst models: the case of GW 150914 - GBM
P. Veres, R. D. Preece, A. Goldstein +3
The possible short gamma-ray burst (GRB) observed by {\it Fermi}/GBM in coincidence with the first gravitational wave (GW) detection, offers new ways to test GRB prompt emission mo…
Hitomi constraints on the 3.5 keV line in the Perseus galaxy cluster
Hitomi Collaboration, Felix A. Aharonian, Hiroki Akamatsu +215
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy with Hitomi was expected to resolve the origin of the faint unidentified E=3.5 keV emission line reported in several low-resolution studies of va…
Searching the Gamma-ray Sky for Counterparts to Gravitational Wave Sources: Fermi GBM and LAT Observations of LVT151012 and GW151226
J. L. Racusin, E. Burns, A. Goldstein +138
We present the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the LIGO binary black hole merger event GW151226 and candi- date LVT151012. No can…
Supplement: Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1538
This Supplement provides supporting material for arXiv:1602.08492 . We briefly summarize past electromagnetic (EM) follow-up efforts as well as the organization and policy of the c…
The Fermi-GBM 3-year X-ray Burst Catalog
P. A. Jenke, M. Linares, V. Connaughton +4
The Fermi Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) is an all sky gamma-ray monitor well known in the gamma-ray burst community. Although GBM excels in detecting the hard, bright extragalactic…
The 3rd Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog: The First Six Years
P. Narayana Bhat, Charles A. Meegan, Andreas von Kienlin +30
Since its launch in 2008, the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) has triggered and located on average approximately two gamma-ray bursts (GRB) every three days. Here we present th…
Which ? - The Characteristic Energy of Gamma-Ray Burst Spectra
Robert Preece, Adam Goldstein, Narayana Bhat +3
A characteristic energy of individual gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra can in most cases be determined from the peak energy of the energy density spectra (), called '$E_{…
The ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5643 ULX1: a large stellar mass black hole accreting at super-Eddington rates?
F. Pintore, L. Zampieri, A. D. Sutton +3
A sub-set of the brightest ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs), with X-ray luminosities well above erg s, typically have energy spectra which can be well described…
Localization and broadband follow-up of the gravitational-wave transient GW150914
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1538
A gravitational-wave (GW) transient was identified in data recorded by the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors on 2015 September 14. The e…
