An image-based search for pulsars among Fermi unassociated LAT sources

D. A. Frail, P. S. Ray, K. P. Mooley +9

We describe an image-based method that uses two radio criteria, compactness and spectral index, to identify promising pulsar candidates among Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) unass…

X-ray Brightening and UV Fading of Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-15oi

S. Gezari, S. B. Cenko, I. Arcavi

We present late-time observations by Swift and XMM-Newton of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-15oi that reveal that the source brightened in the X-rays by a factor of $\sim1…

The Sleeping Monster: NuSTAR observations of SGR 1806-20, 11 years after the Giant Flare

George Younes, Matthew G. Baring, Chryssa Kouveliotou +5

We report the analysis of 5 NuSTAR observations of SGR 1806-20 spread over a year from April 2015 to April 2016, more than 11 years following its Giant Flare (GF) of 2004. The sour…

A possible phase dependent absorption feature in the transient X-ray pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545

McKinley C. Brumback, Ryan C. Hickox, Felix S. Fürst +5

We present an X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two observations of the transient Be X-ray binary SAX J2103.5+4545 during its April 2016 outburst, which was characteri…

Exploring the Variability of the Flat Spectrum Radio Source 1633+382. I. Phenomenology of the Light Curves

Juan-Carlos Algaba, Sang-Sung Lee, Dae-Won Kim +15

We present multi-frequency simultaneous VLBI radio observations of the flat spectrum radio quasar 1633+382 (4C~38.41) as part of the interferometric monitoring of gamma-ray bright…
