IGR J18483-0311 is an X-ray pulsar with transient X-ray activity, belonging to the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries called Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. This system is one…
Going out with a bang: compact object collisions resulting from supernovae in binary systems
Eleonora Troja, Graham A. Wynn, Paul T. O'Brien +1
Binary star systems containing a neutron star or a black hole with an evolved, massive star are dynamically perturbed when the latter undergoes a supernova explosion. It is possibl…

We report the detection by the AGILE satellite of a rapid gamma-ray flare from the powerful gamma-ray quasar PKS 1510-089, during a pointing centered on the Galactic Center region…
Variability and spectral energy distributions of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei: a simultaneous X-ray/UV look with Swift
Elena Pian, Patrizia Romano, Dan Maoz +3
We have observed four low-luminosity active galactic nuclei classified as Type 1 LINERs with the X-ray Telescope (XRT) and the UltraViolet-Optical Telescope (UVOT) onboard Swift, i…
Can X-ray emission powered by a spinning-down magnetar explain some GRB light curve features?
N. Lyons, P. T. O'Brien, B. Zhang +3
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to be produced by the core-collapse of a rapidly-rotating massive star. This event generates a highly relativistic jet and prompt…
Atmospheric effects on extensive air showers observed with the Surface Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration
Atmospheric parameters, such as pressure (P), temperature (T) and density, affect the development of extensive air showers initiated by energetic cosmic rays. We have studied the i…
The Fluorescence Detector of the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, J. Abraham, P. Abreu +515
The Pierre Auger Observatory is a hybrid detector for ultra-high energy cosmic rays. It combines a surface array to measure secondary particles at ground level together with a fluo…
The first broad-band X-ray study of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient SAXJ1818.6-1703 in outburst
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, P. Esposito +7
The Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) SAXJ1818.6-1703 underwent an outburst on 2009 May 6 and was observed with Swift. We report on these observations which, for the first tim…
Spin-down rate and inferred dipole magnetic field of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, M. Burgay, A. Possenti +11
Using Chandra data taken on 2008 June, we detected pulsations at 2.59439(4) s in the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41. This is the second measurement of the source spin period a…
Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Results from the first year
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +12
Swift has allowed the possibility to give Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries discovered by INTEGRAL, non serendipitous attention th…
The Palermo Swift-BAT Hard X-ray Catalogue. II- Results after 39 months of sky survey
G. Cusumano, V. La Parola, A. Segreto +12
We present the Palermo Swift-BAT hard X-ray catalogue obtained from the analysis of the the data relative to the first 39 months of the Swift mission. We have developed a dedicated…
The structure of blue supergiant winds and the accretion in supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries
L. Ducci, L. Sidoli, S. Mereghetti +2
We have developed a stellar wind model for OB supergiants to investigate the effects of accretion from a clumpy wind on the luminosity and variability properties of High Mass X-ray…
GRB 090423 at a redshift of z~8.1
R. Salvaterra, M. Della Valle, S. Campana +42
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBSs) are produced by rare types of massive stellar explosions. Their rapidly fading afterglows are often bright enough at optical wavelengths, that they are det…
