Spectral formation in a radiative shock: application to anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma-ray repeaters
N. D. Kylafis, J. E. Truemper, U. Ertan
In the fallback disk model for the persistent emission of Anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) and soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs), the hard X-ray emission arises from bulk- and thermal…
GRB 130606A within a sub-DLA at redshift 5.91
A. J. Castro-Tirado, R. Sánchez-Ramírez, S. L. Ellison +38
Events such as GRB130606A at z=5.91, offer an exciting new window into pre-galactic metal enrichment in these very high redshift host galaxies. We study the environment and host ga…
Super-Eddington Accretion in the Ultraluminous X-ray Source NGC1313 X-2: An Ephemeral Feast
Shan-Shan Weng, Shuang-Nan Zhang, Hai-Hui Zhao
We investigate the X-ray spectrum, variability and the surrounding ionized bubble of NGC1313 X-2 to explore the physics of super-Eddington accretion. Beyond the Eddington luminosit…
X-ray Enhancement And Long-term Evolution Of Swift J1822.3-1606
Onur Benli, S. Caliskan, U. Ertan +3
We investigate the X-ray enhancement and the long-term evolution of the recently discovered, second "low-B magnetar" Swift J1822.3-1606 in the frame of the fallback disk model. Dur…
Complete Multiwavelength Evolution of Galactic Black Hole Transients During Outburst Decay I: Conditions for "Compact" Jet Formation
Emrah Kalemci, Tolga Dincer, John A. Tomsick +3
Compact, steady jets are observed in the near infrared and radio bands in the hard state of Galactic black hole transients as their luminosity decreases and the source moves toward…
Detailed Investigations of the Dimmest Bursts from Two Magnetars, SGR J0501+4516 and SGR J1550-5418
Lin Lin, Ersin Gogus, Yuki Kaneko +1
We applied the Bayesian blocks representation technique to search for the dimmest bursts from two magnetars: we identified 320 events from SGR J0501+4516 using a deep XMM-Newton ob…
