Burst and Outburst Characteristics of Magnetar 4U 0142+61
Ersin Gogus, Lin Lin, Oliver J. Roberts +10
We have compiled the most comprehensive burst sample from magnetar 4U 0142+61, comprising 27 bursts from its three burst-active episodes in 2011, 2012 and the latest one in 2015 ob…
Calculating transient rates from surveys
Dario Carbone, Alexander J. van der Horst, Ralph A. M. J. Wijers +1
We have developed a method to determine the transient surface density and transient rate for any given survey, using Monte-Carlo simulations. This method allows us to determine the…
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…
Detection of Very Low-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in the 2015 Outburst of V404 Cygni
D. Huppenkothen, G. Younes, A. Ingram +12
In June 2015, the black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) V404 Cygni went into outburst for the first time since 1989. Here, we present a comprehensive search for quasi-periodic oscillatio…
The second closest gamma-ray burst: sub-luminous GRB 111005A with no supernova in a super-solar metallicity environment
Michał J. Michałowski, Dong Xu, Jamie Stevens +17
We report the detection of the radio afterglow of a long gamma-ray burst (GRB) 111005A at 5-345 GHz, including the very long baseline interferometry observations with the positiona…
Learning About the Magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 from its Wind Nebula
Jonathan Granot, Ramandeep Gill, George Younes +4
The first wind nebula around a magnetar was recently discovered in X-rays around Swift~J1834.90846. We study this magnetar's global energetics and the properties of its particle…
Magnetar-like X-ray Bursts from a Rotation Powered Pulsar, PSR J1119-6127
Ersin Gogus, Lin Lin, Yuki Kaneko +8
Two energetic hard X-ray bursts have recently triggered the Fermi and Swift space observatories from the rotation powered pulsar, PSR J1119-6127. We have performed in depth spectra…
The Afterglow and Early-Type Host Galaxy of the Short GRB 150101B at z=0.1343
Wen-fai Fong, Raffaella Margutti, Ryan Chornock +14
We present the discovery of the X-ray and optical afterglows of the short-duration GRB 150101B, pinpointing the event to an early-type host galaxy at z=0.1343 +/- 0.0030. This make…
A Unified Model for GRB Prompt Emission from Optical to -Rays: Exploring GRBs as Standard Candles
S. Guiriec, C. Kouveliotou, D. H. Hartmann +6
The origin of prompt emission from gamma ray bursts remains to be an open question. Correlated prompt optical and gamma-ray emission observed in a handful of GRBs strongly suggests…
No apparent superluminal motion in the first-known jetted tidal disruption event Swift J1644+5734
J. Yang, Z. Paragi, A. J. van der Horst +5
The first-known tidal disruption event (TDE) with strong evidence for a relativistic jet -- based on extensive multi-wavelength campaigns -- is Swift J1644+5734. In order to direct…
Fermi LAT Stacking Analysis of Swift Localized Gamma-ray Bursts
LAT Collaboration
We perform a comprehensive stacking analysis of data collected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) of gamma-ray bursts (GRB) localized by the Swift spacecraft, which were not d…
First Detection of a Pulsar Bow Shock Nebula in Far-UV: PSR J0437-4715
Blagoy Rangelov, George G. Pavlov, Oleg Kargaltsev +3
Pulsars traveling at supersonic speeds are often accompanied by cometary bow shocks seen in Halpha. We report on the first detection of a pulsar bow shock in the far-ultraviolet (F…
The wind nebula around magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846
G. Younes, C. Kouveliotou, O. Kargaltsev +12
We report on the analysis of two deep XMM-Newton observations of the magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 and its surrounding extended emission taken in March 2014 and October 2014, 2.5 and…
Low-radio-frequency eclipses of the redback pulsar J2215+5135 observed in the image plane with LOFAR
J. W. Broderick, R. P. Fender, R. P. Breton +30
The eclipses of certain types of binary millisecond pulsars (i.e. `black widows' and `redbacks') are often studied using high-time-resolution, `beamformed' radio observations. Howe…
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…
