Disk-jet coupling changes as a possible indicator for outbursts from GX 339-4 remaining within the X-ray hard state

S. E. M. de Haas, T. D. Russell, N. Degenaar +8

We present quasi-simultaneous radio, (sub-)millimetre, and X-ray observations of the Galactic black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4, taken during its 2017--2018 outburst, where the sour…

The INTEGRAL view of the pulsating hard X-ray sky: from accreting and transitional millisecond pulsars to rotation-powered pulsars and magnetars

A. Papitto, M. Falanga, W. Hermsen +30

In the last 25 years, a new generation of X-ray satellites imparted a significant leap forward in our knowledge of X-ray pulsars. The discovery of accreting and transitional millis…

Unveiling sub-parsec supermassive black hole binary candidates in active galactic nuclei

Roberto Serafinelli, Paola Severgnini, Valentina Braito +11

Elusive supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are thought to be the penultimate stage of galaxy mergers, preceding a final coalescence phase. SMBHBs are sources of continuous g…

Swift unveils the orbital period of IGR J18214-1318

G. Cusumano, A. D'Aì, A. Segreto +2

We analysed 13 years of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory survey data collected on the High Mass X-ray Binary IGR J18214-1318. Performing the timing analysis we detected a periodi…

Sensitivity of the Cherenkov Telescope Array to a dark matter signal from the Galactic centre

The Cherenkov Telescope Array Consortium, :, A. Acharyya +449

We provide an updated assessment of the power of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) to search for thermally produced dark matter at the TeV scale, via the associated gamma-ray sig…

On the nature of the soft gamma-ray emission in the hard state of the black hole transient GRS 1716-249

T. Bassi, J. Malzac, M. Del Santo +9

The black hole transient GRS 1716-249 was monitored from the radio to the gamma-ray band during its 2016-2017 outburst. This paper focuses on the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED)…

The Open Universe survey of Swift-XRT GRB fields: a complete sample of HBL blazars

P. Giommi, Y. L. Chang, S. Turriziani +22

We have analysed all the X-ray images centred on Gamma Ray Bursts generated by Swift over the last 15 years using automatic tools that do not require any expertise in X-ray astrono…
