We report on a 250 ks long X-ray observation of the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR J16479-4514 performed with Suzaku in 2012 February. About 80% of the short orbital pe…
Binary Millisecond Pulsar Discovery via Gamma-Ray Pulsations
H. J. Pletsch, L. Guillemot, H. Fehrmann +150
Millisecond pulsars, old neutron stars spun-up by accreting matter from a companion star, can reach high rotation rates of hundreds of revolutions per second. Until now, all such "…

The Imprint of The Extragalactic Background Light in the Gamma-Ray Spectra of Blazars
LAT Collaboration
The light emitted by stars and accreting compact objects through the history of the Universe is encoded in the intensity of the extragalactic background light (EBL). Knowledge of t…
New VLT observations of the Fermi pulsar PSR J1048-5832
M. Razzano, R. P. Mignani, M. Marelli +1
PSR J1048-5832 is a Vela-like (P=123.6 ms; tau~20.3 kyr) gamma-ray pulsar detected by Fermi, at a distance of ~2.7 kpc and with a rotational energy loss rate dot{E}_{SD} ~2 x 10^{3…
Spectrum of the unresolved cosmic X ray background: what is unresolved 50 years after its discovery
A. Moretti, S. Vattakunnel, P. Tozzi +5
We study the spectral properties of the unresolved cosmic X-ray background (CXRB) in the 1.5-7.0 keV energy band with the aim of providing an observational constraint on the statis…
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift: spectroscopic and temporal properties
P. Romano, V. Mangano, L. Ducci +8
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries with possible counterparts in the high energy gamma rays. The Swift SFXT Project has conducted a sy…

P. Esposito, P. Romano, V. Mangano +2
We report on the Swift observations of the candidate supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR J16418-4532, which has an orbital period of ~3.7 d. Our monitoring, for a total of ~…
Counts of high-redshift GRBs as probe of primordial non-Gaussianities
Umberto Maio, Ruben Salvaterra, Lauro Moscardini +1
We propose to use high-redshift long -ray bursts (GRBs) as cosmological tools to constrain the amount of primordial non-Gaussianity in the density field. By using numerical, N-b…
Halo millisecond pulsars ejected by intermediate mass black holes in globular clusters
Alberto Sesana, Nicola Sartore, Bernadetta Devecchi +1
