Swift observations of black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during outburst
P. A. Curran, P. Casella, T. J. Maccarone +5
Here we summarise the Swift broadband observations of the recently discovered X-ray transient and black hole candidate, XTE J1752-223,obtained over the period of outburst from Octo…
Dark matter in the classical dwarf spheroidal galaxies: a robust constraint on the astrophysical factor for gamma-ray flux calculations
M. G. Walker, C. Combet, J. A. Hinton +2
We present a new analysis of the relative detectability of dark matter annihilation in the Milky Way's eight classical dwarf spheroidal satellite galaxies. Ours is similar to previ…
The Swift Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients Project: recent results
P. Romano, S. Vercellone, V. La Parola +8
We present an overview of our Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXT) project, that started in 2007, by highlighting the unique observational contribution Swift is giving to this e…
A two-year monitoring campaign of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift
P. Romano, V. La Parola, G. Cusumano +7
Swift is the only observatory which, due to its unique fast-slewing capability and broad-band energy coverage, can detect outbursts from Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) fr…
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift: catching outbursts and monitoring programs
P. Romano, J. A. Kennea, D. N. Burrows +8
Swift is shedding new light on the phenomenon of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), a recently discovered class of High-Mass X-ray Binaries, whose optical counterparts are O…
Study of possible systematics in the L*X - Ta* correlation of Gamma Ray Bursts
M. G. Dainotti, V. F. Cardone, S. Capozziello +2
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most energetic sources in the universe and among the farthest known astrophysical sources. These features make them appealing candidates as standard…
