On the origin of supergiant fast X-ray transients
Swetlana Hubrig, Lara Sidoli, Konstantin A. Postnov +3
A fraction of high-mass X-ray binaries are supergiant fast X-ray transients. These systems have on average low X-ray luminosities, but display short flares during which their X-ray…
A -ray determination of the Universe's star-formation history

We present the discovery of PSR J0250+5854, a radio pulsar with a spin period of 23.5 s. This is the slowest-spinning radio pulsar known. PSR J0250+5854 was discovered by the LOFAR…
An INTEGRAL overview of High Mass X-ray Binaries: classes or transitions?
Lara Sidoli, Adamantia Paizis
We analyzed in a systematic way the public INTEGRAL observations spanning from December 2002 to September 2016, to investigate the hard X-ray properties of about 60 High Mass X-ray…
The first ultraviolet detection of the Large Magellanic Cloud pulsar PSR B0540-69 and its multi-wavelength properties
R. P. Mignani, A. Shearer, A. de Luca +9
We observed the young ( yrs) pulsar PSR B0540-69 in the near-ultraviolet (UV) for the first time with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aboard the {\em Hub…
Discovery of X-rays from the old and faint pulsar J1154--6250
Andrei P. Igoshev, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Michela Rigoselli +4
We report on the first X-ray observation of the 0.28 s isolated radio pulsar PSR J1154--6250 obtained with the XMM-Newton observatory in February 2018. A point-like source is firml…
