X-ray broad-band study of the symbiotic X-ray binary 4U 1954+31
N. Masetti, E. Rigon, E. Maiorano +5
(Abridged) We present results of several X-ray observations of the X-ray binary 4U 1954+31 performed with the satellites BeppoSAX, EXOSAT, ROSAT, RXTE, and Swift. We also studied t…
Gamma Ray Bursts Flares detected and observed by the Swift Satellite
Guido Chincarini, Alberto Moretti, Patrizia Romano +11
The detection of flares with the Swift satellite triggered a lot of bservational and theoretical interest in these phenomena. As a consequence a large analysis effort started withi…
A metal rich molecular cloud surrounds GRB 050904 at redshift 6.3
S. Campana, D. Lazzati, E. Ripamonti +7
GRB050904 is the gamma-ray burst with the highest measured redshift. We performed time resolved X-ray spectroscopy of the late GRB and early afterglow emission. We find robust evid…
Swift and XMM-Newton Observations of the Extraordinary GRB 060729: An afterglow with a more than 100 days X-ray light curve
Dirk Grupe, Caryl Gronwall, Xiang-Yu Wang +8
We report the results of the Swift and XMM observations of the Swift-discovered long Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 060729 (=115s). The afterglow of this burst was exceptionally brigh…
Long-term monitoring of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 050408 with Swift/XRT
M. Capalbi, D. Malesani, M. Perri +20
We present observations of the X-ray afterglow of GRB 050408, a gamma-ray burst discovered by HETE-II. Swift began observing the field 42 min after the burst, performing follow-up…
Swift XRT and UVOT deep observations of the high energy peaked BL Lac object PKS 0548-322 close to its brightest state
M. Perri, A. Maselli, P. Giommi +11
We present the results of a spectral analysis of 5 Swift XRT and UVOT observations of the BL Lac object PKS 0548-322 carried out over the period April-June 2005. The X-ray flux of…
UVES/VLT high resolution spectroscopy of GRB 050730 afterglow: probing the features of the GRB environment
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, E. Meurs +44
We analyze high resolution spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of GRB050730, obtained with UVES@VLT about hours after the GRB trigger. The spectrum shows that the I…
An enigmatic long-lasting gamma-ray burst not accompanied by a bright supernova
M. Della Valle, G. Chincarini, N. Panagia +14
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense flashes of soft gamma-rays coming from the distant Universe. Long-duration GRBs (those lasting more than ~2 s) are believed to originate…
X-Ray Observations of Type Ia Supernovae with Swift: Evidence for Circumstellar Interaction for SN 2005ke
S. Immler, P. J. Brown, P. Milne +15
We present a study of the early (days to weeks) X-ray and UV properties of eight Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) which have been extensively observed with the X-Ray Telescope (XRT) and…
Optical, Infrared, and Ultraviolet Observations of the X-Ray Flash GRB 050416A
S. T. Holland, P. T. Boyd, J. Gorosabel +25
We present ultraviolet, optical, and infrared photometry of the afterglow of the X-ray flash XRF 050416A taken between approximately 100 seconds and 36 days after the burst. We fin…
The Swift X-ray flaring afterglow of GRB 050607
Claudio Pagani, David C. Morris, Shiho Kobayashi +22
The unique capability of the Swift satellite to perform a prompt and autonomous slew to a newly detected Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) has yielded the discovery of interesting new properti…
The X-ray afterglow of the short gamma ray burst 050724
S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri, D. Lazzati +23
Short duration (<2 s) Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been a mystery since their discovery. Until May 2005 very little was known about short GRBs, but this situation has changed rapid…
Swift XRT Observations of the Afterglow of XRF 050416A
Vanessa Mangano, Valentina La Parola, Giancarlo Cusumano +20
Swift discovered XRF 050416A with the BAT and began observing it with its narrow field instruments only 64.5 s after the burst onset. Its very soft spectrum classifies this event a…
The multiwavelength afterglow of GRB 050721: a puzzling rebrightening seen in the optical but not in the X-ray
L. A. Antonelli, V. Testa, P. Romano +27
Context. GRB050721 was detected by Swift and promptly followed-up, in the X-ray by Swift itself and, in the optical band, by the VLT operated, for the first time, in rapid response…
The shock break-out of GRB 060218/SN 2006aj
S. Campana, V. Mangano, A. J. Blustin +36
Although the link between long Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) and supernovae (SNe) has been established, hitherto there have been no observations of the beginning of a supernova explosion…
GRB051210: Swift detection of a short gamma ray burst
V. La Parola, V. Mangano, D. Fox +19
The short/hard GRB051210 was detected and located by the Swift-BAT instrument and rapidly pointed towards by the narrow field instrumens. The XRT was able to observe a bright X-ray…
Panchromatic study of GRB 060124: from precursor to afterglow
P. Romano, S. Campana, G. Chincarini +35
