Energetic neutral atoms as the explanation for the high velocity hydrogen around HD 209458b
M. Holmström, A. Ekenbäck, F. Selsis +3
Absorption in the stellar Lyman- (Ly-) line observed during the transit of the extrasolar planet HD 209458b reveals high velocity atomic hydrogen at great distances from the…
Simbol-X capability of detecting the non-thermal emission of stellar flares
C. Argiroffi, G. Micela, A. Maggio
We investigate the capability of detecting, with Simbol-X, non-thermal emission during stellar flares, and distinguishing it from hot thermal emission. We find that flare non-therm…
Detection of GRB 060927 at z = 5.47: Implications for the Use of Gamma-Ray Bursts as Probes of the End of the Dark Ages
A. E. Ruiz-Velasco, H. Swan, E. Troja +54
We report on follow-up observations of the GRB 060927 using the ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s…
Swift observations of GRB 060614: an anomalous burst with a well behaved afterglow
V. Mangano, S. T. Holland, D. Malesani +22
GRB 060614 is a remarkable GRB observed by Swift with puzzling properties, which challenge current progenitor models. The lack of any bright SN down to very strict limits and the v…
Properties of the short period CoRoT-planet population II: The impact of loss processes on planet masses from Neptunes to Jupiters
Helmut Lammer, T. Penz, G. Wuchterl +4
The orbital distance at which close-in exoplanets maintain their initial mass is investigated by modelling the maximum expected thermal and nonthermal mass loss rates over several…
A physical interpretation of the jet-like X-ray emission from supernova remnant W49B
M. Miceli, A. Decourchelle, J. Ballet +4
In the framework of the study of supernova remnants and their complex interaction with the interstellar medium and the circumstellar material, we focus on the galactic supernova re…
