Searching for small-scale diffuse emission around SGR 1806-20
D. Viganò, N. Rea, P. Esposito +6
Diffuse radio emission was detected around the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1806-20, after its 2004 powerful giant flare. We study the possible extended X-ray emission at small scal…
Probing large-scale wind structures in Vela X-1 using off-states with INTEGRAL
L. Sidoli, A. Paizis, F. Fuerst +4
Vela X-1 is the prototype of the class of wind-fed accreting pulsars in high mass X-ray binaries hosting a supergiant donor. We have analyzed in a systematic way ten years of INTEG…
Gamma-ray flaring activity from the gravitationally lensed blazar PKS 1830-211 observed by Fermi LAT
The Fermi LAT Collaboration, A. A. Abdo, M. Ackermann +126
The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope routinely detects the highly dust-absorbed, reddened, and MeV-peaked flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1830…
The spectrum of isotropic diffuse gamma-ray emission between 100 MeV and 820 GeV
The Fermi LAT collaboration, M. Ackermann, M. Ajello +142
The γ-ray sky can be decomposed into individually detected sources, diffuse emission attributed to the interactions of Galactic cosmic rays with gas and radiation fields, and a res…
Neutron stars - thermal emitters
A. Y. Potekhin, A. De Luca, J. A. Pons
Confronting theoretical models with observations of thermal radiation emitted by neutron stars is one of the most important ways to understand the properties of both, superdense ma…
The Spectrum and Morphology of the Fermi Bubbles
LAT Collaboration
The Fermi bubbles are two large structures in the gamma-ray sky extending to above and below the Galactic center. We analyze 50 months of Fermi Large Area Telescope data…
Metal distribution in sloshing galaxy clusters: the case of A496
Simona Ghizzardi, Sabrina De Grandi, Silvano Molendi
We report results from a detailed study of the sloshing gas in the core of A496. We detect the low temperature/entropy spiral feature found in several cores, we also find that cond…
Wind accretion: Theory and Observations
N. I. Shakura, K. A. Postnov, A. Yu. Kochetkova +3
A review of wind accretion in HMXB is presented. We focus on different regimes of quasi-spherical accretion onto a NS: supersonic (Bondi) accretion, which takes place when the capt…
On the puzzling high-energy pulsations of the energetic radio-quiet -ray pulsar J18131246
M. Marelli, A. Harding, D. Pizzocaro +6
We have analyzed the new deep {\it XMM-Newton} and {\it Chandra} observations of the energetic radio-quiet pulsar J18131246. The X-ray spectrum is non-thermal, very hard and abs…
CLASH-VLT: Insights on the mass substructures in the Frontier Fields Cluster MACS J0416.1-2403 through accurate strong lens modeling
C. Grillo, S. H. Suyu, P. Rosati +25
We present a detailed mass reconstruction and a novel study on the substructure properties in the core of the CLASH and Frontier Fields galaxy cluster MACS J0416.1-2403. We show an…
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey - Searching for Cosmic Voids
D. Micheletti, A. Iovino, A. J. Hawken +46
The characterisation of cosmic voids gives unique information about the large-scale distribution of galaxies, their evolution and the cosmological model. We identify and characteri…
Probing the nuclear star cluster of galaxies with ELTs
M. Gullieuszik, L. Greggio, R. Falomo +2
The unprecedented sensitivity and spatial resolution of next generation ground-based extremely large telescopes (ELTs) will open a completely new window on the study of resolved st…
Soft X-ray characterisation of the long term properties of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients
P. Romano, L. Ducci, V. Mangano +3
We perform the first high-sensitivity soft X-ray long-term monitoring with Swift/XRT of three relatively unexplored Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), IGR J08408-4503, IGR J…
The VIMOS Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey (VIPERS). Measuring nonlinear galaxy bias at z~0.8
C. Di Porto, E. Branchini, J. Bel +46
We use the first release of the VImos Public Extragalactic Redshift Survey of galaxies (VIPERS) of ~50,000 objects to measure the biasing relation between galaxies and mass in the…
High-energy pulsations and phase-resolved spectroscopy of PSR J1741-2054
M. Marelli, A. Belfiore, P. Saz Parkinson +6
We report the results of a deep XMM-Newton observation of the radio-faint -ray pulsar J1741-2054 and its nebula together with the analysis of 5 years of Fermi LAT data. The X-ra…
Bright Flares in Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients
N. Shakura, k. Postnov, L. Sidoli +1
At steady low-luminosity states, Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) can be at the stage of quasi-spherical settling accretion onto slowly rotating magnetized NS from the OB-c…
Diversity of GRB energetics vs. SN homogeneity: supernova 2013cq associated with the gamma-ray burst 130427A
A. Melandri, E. Pian, V. D'Elia +26
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been found to be associated with broad-lined type-Ic supernovae (SNe), but only a handful of cases have been studied in detail. Prompted…
Three new X-ray emitting sdO stars discovered with Chandra
