The Outburst Decay of the Low Magnetic Field Magnetar SWIFT J1822.3-1606: Phase-resolved Analysis and Evidence for a Variable Cyclotron Feature

Guillermo A. Rodríguez Castillo, Gian Luca Israel, Andrea Tiengo +12

We study the timing and spectral properties of the low-magnetic field, transient magnetar SWIFT J1822.3-1606 as it approached quiescence. We coherently phase-connect the observatio…

IKT 16: the first X-ray confirmed composite SNR in the SMC

Chandreyee Maitra, Jean Ballet, Miroslav Filipovic +4

Aims: IKT 16 is an X-ray and radio-faint supernova remnant (SNR) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). A detailed X-ray study of this SNR with XMM-Newton confirmed the presence of a…

The X-ray outburst of the Galactic Centre magnetar SGR J1745-2900 during the first 1.5 year

F. Coti Zelati, N. Rea, A. Papitto +17

In 2013 April a new magnetar, SGR 1745-2900, was discovered as it entered an outburst, at only 2.4 arcsec angular distance from the supermassive black hole at the Centre of the Mil…

The Knee of the Cosmic Hydrogen and Helium Spectrum below 1 PeV Measured by ARGO-YBJ and a Cherenkov Telescope of LHAASO

B. Bartoli, P. Bernardini, X. J. Bi +93

The measurement of cosmic ray energy spectra, in particular for individual species, is an essential approach in finding their origin. Locating the "knees" of the spectra is an impo…
