Modeling the flaring activity of the high z, hard X-ray selected blazar IGR J22517+2217
G. Lanzuisi, A. De Rosa, G. Ghisellini +6
We present new Suzaku and Fermi data, and re-analyzed archival hard X-ray data from INTEGRAL and Swift-BAT survey, to investigate the physical properties of the luminous, high-reds…
A minor body falling onto a neutron star as an explanation for the unusual gamma-ray burst GRB 101225A
S. Campana, G. Lodato, P. D'Avanzo +17
The tidal disruption of a solar mass star around a supermassive black hole has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. In these events the star develops into an elon…
Numerical solution of the radiative transfer equation: X-ray spectral formation from cylindrical accretion onto a magnetized neutron star
R. Farinelli, C. Ceccobello, P. Romano +1
Predicting the emerging X-ray spectra in several astrophysical objects is of great importance, in particular when the observational data are compared with theoretical models. To th…
Trigger and Aperture of the Surface Detector Array of the Pierre Auger Observatory
J. Abraham, P. Abreu, M. Aglietta +469
The surface detector array of the Pierre Auger Observatory consists of 1600 water-Cherenkov detectors, for the study of extensive air showers (EAS) generated by ultra-high-energy c…
Supergiant X-ray binaries observed by Suzaku
A. Bodaghee, J. A. Tomsick, J. Rodriguez +4
Suzaku observations are presented for the high-mass X-ray binaries IGR J16207-5129 and IGR J17391-3021 (=XTE J1739-302). For IGR J16207-5129, we provide the first X-ray broadband (…
The complex behaviour of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in the rho class observed with BeppoSAX. II: Time-resolved spectral analysis
T. Mineo, E. Massaro, A. D'Ai +6
BeppoSAX observed GRS 1915+105 on October 2000 with a long pointing lasting about ten days. During this observation, the source was mainly in the rho class characterized by bursts…
Observation of the Cosmic Ray Moon shadowing effect with ARGO-YBJ
YBJ Collaboration
Cosmic rays are hampered by the Moon and a deficit in its direction is expected (the so-called \emph{Moon shadow}). The Moon shadow is an important tool to determine the performanc…
XMM-Newton observations of IGRJ18410-0535: The ingestion of a clump by a supergiant fast X-ray transient
E. Bozzo, A. Giunta, G. Cusumano +6
IGRJ18410-0535 is a supergiant fast X-ray transients. This subclass of supergiant X-ray binaries typically undergoes few- hour-long outbursts reaching luminosities of 10^(36)-10^(3…
Multi-epoch parsec-scale observations of the blazar PKS 1510-089
M. Orienti, T. Venturi, D. Dallacasa +5
(Abridged) We investigate the flux density variability and changes in the parsec-scale radio structure of the flat spectrum radio quasar PKS 1510-089. This source was target of mul…
Long-term monitoring of the TeV emission from Mrk 421 with the ARGO-YBJ experiment
YBJ Collaboration, B. Bartoli, P. Bernardini +105
ARGO-YBJ is an air shower detector array with a fully covered layer of resistive plate chambers. It is operated with a high duty cycle and a large field of view. It continuously mo…
Long-term spectral and timing properties of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1833-0832 and detection of extended X-ray emission around the radio pulsar PSR B1830-08
P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, R. Turolla +19
SGR 1833-0832 was discovered on 2010 March 19 thanks to the Swift detection of a short hard X-ray burst and follow-up X-ray observations. Since then, it was repeatedly observed wit…
Swift Observations of MAXI J1659-152: A Compact Binary with a Black Hole Accretor
J. A. Kennea, P. Romano, V. Mangano +6
We report on the detection and follow-up high cadence monitoring observations of MAXI J1659-152, a bright Galactic X-ray binary transient with a likely black-hole accretor, by Swif…
Discovery of the Onset of Rapid Accretion by a Dormant Massive Black Hole
D. N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, G. Ghisellini +53
Massive black holes are believed to reside at the centres of most galaxies. They can be- come detectable by accretion of matter, either continuously from a large gas reservoir or i…
Discovery and evolution of the new black hole candidate Swift J1539.2-6227 during its 2008 outburst
H. A. Krimm, J. A. Tomsick, C. B. Markwardt +4
We report on the discovery by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer of the black hole candidate Swift J1539.2-6227 and the subsequent course of an outburst beginning in November 2008…
ORIGIN: Metal Creation and Evolution from the Cosmic Dawn
J. W. den Herder, L. Piro, T. Ohashi +156
ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGI…
