Feasibility of a Small, Rapid Optical-to-IR Response, Next Generation Gamma Ray Burst Mission
B. Grossan, G. F. Smoot, V. V. Bogomolov +13
We present motivations for and study feasibility of a small, rapid optical to IR response gamma ray burst (GRB) space observatory. By analyzing existing GRB data, we give realistic…
A Suzaku X-ray observation of one orbit of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J16479-4514
L. Sidoli, P. Esposito, V. Sguera +6
We report on a 250 ks long X-ray observation of the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR J16479-4514 performed with Suzaku in 2012 February. About 80% of the short orbital pe…
The "universal" radio/X-ray flux correlation : the case study of the black hole GX 339-4
S. Corbel, M. Coriat, C. Brocksopp +5
The existing radio and X-ray flux correlation for Galactic black holes in the hard and quiescent states relies on a sample which is mostly dominated by two sources (GX 339-4 and V4…
Investigating the Optical Counterpart Candidates of Four INTEGRAL Sources localized with Chandra
Mehtap Özbey Arabacı, Emrah Kalemci, John A. Tomsick +5
We report on the optical spectroscopic follow up observations of the candidate counterparts to four INTEGRAL sources: IGR J04069+5042, IGR J06552-1146, IGR J21188+4901 and IGR J220…
Chandra observations of SGR 1627-41 near quiescence
Hongjun An, Victoria M. Kaspi, John A. Tomsick +4
We report on an observation of SGR 1627-41 made with the Chandra X-ray Observatory on 2011 June 16. Approximately three years after its outburst activity in 2008, the source's flux…
Spectro-interferometric observations of classical nova V458 Vul 2007
Samira Rajabi, Matthew W. Muterspaugh, Benjamin F. Lane +6
We used the Palomar Testbed Interferometer (PTI) to resolve 2.2 m emission from the classical nova V458 Vul 2007 over the course of several days following its discovery on 2007…
Localizing INTEGRAL Sources with Chandra: X-Ray and Multi-Wavelength Identifications and Energy Spectra
John A. Tomsick, Arash Bodaghee, Sylvain Chaty +5
We report on Chandra observations of 18 hard X-ray (>20 keV) sources discovered with the INTEGRAL satellite near the Galactic plane. For 14 of the INTEGRAL sources, we have uncover…
Current Flow and Pair Creation at Low Altitude in Rotation Powered Pulsars' Force-Free Magnetospheres: Space-Charge Limited Flow
A. N. Timokhin, J. Arons
(shortened) We report the results of an investigation of particle acceleration and electron-positron plasma generation at low altitude in the polar magnetic flux tubes of Rotation…
Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts during LIGO science run 6 and Virgo science runs 2 and 3
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, J. Abadie +807
We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 154 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) that were detected by satellite-based gamma-ray experiments in 2009-2010, dur…
XMM-Newton observations of five INTEGRAL sources located towards the Scutum Arm
Arash Bodaghee, John A. Tomsick, Jerome Rodriguez
Results are presented for XMM-Newton observations of five hard X-ray sources discovered by INTEGRAL in the direction of the Scutum Arm. Each source received more than 20 ks of effe…
The black hole candidate MAXIJ1659-152 in and towards quiescence in X-ray and radio
Peter G. Jonker, James C. A. Miller-Jones, J. Homan +5
In this paper we report on Expanded Very Large Array radio and Chandra and Swift X-ray observations of the outburst decay of the transient black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 in 20…
Is IGR J11014-6103 a Pulsar with the Highest Known Kick Velocity?
John A. Tomsick, Arash Bodaghee, Jerome Rodriguez +4
We report on Chandra X-ray and Parkes radio observations of IGR J11014-6103, which is a possible pulsar wind nebula with a complex X-ray morphology and a likely radio counterpart.…
Fast X-ray transients in the Galactic bulge with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
David M. Smith, Craig B. Markwardt, Jean H. Swank +1
In X-ray binaries, rapid variability in X-ray flux of greater than an order of magnitude on time-scales of a day or less appears to be a signature of wind accretion from a supergia…
XMM-Newton Finds That SAX J1750.8-2900 May Harbor the Hottest, Most Luminous Known Neutron Star
Alexander W. Lowell, John A. Tomsick, Craig O. Heinke +6
We have performed the first sensitive X-ray observation of the low-mass X-ray binary SAX J1750.8-2900 in quiescence with XMM-Newton. The spectrum was fit to both a classical black…
Inverse Compton X-ray Emission from Supernovae with Compact Progenitors: Application to SN2011fe
R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg, L. Chomiuk +35
We present a generalized analytic formalism for the inverse Compton X-ray emission from hydrogen-poor supernovae and apply this framework to SN2011fe using Swift-XRT, UVOT and Chan…
