The SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts II: New FRB discoveries and their follow-up

S. Bhandari, E. F. Keane, E. D. Barr +47

We report the discovery of four Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) in the ongoing SUrvey for Pulsars and Extragalactic Radio Bursts (SUPERB) at the Parkes Radio Telescope: FRBs 150610, 15120…

Search for High-energy Neutrinos from Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 with ANTARES, IceCube, and the Pierre Auger Observatory

A. Albert, M. Andre, M. Anghinolfi +1931

The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo observatories recently discovered gravitational waves from a binary neutron star inspiral. A short gamma-ray burst (GRB) that followed the merg…

Investigating the interstellar dust through the Fe K-edge

D. Rogantini, E. Costantini, S. T. Zeegers +5

The chemical and physical properties of interstellar dust in the densest regions of the Galaxy are still not well understood. X-rays provide a powerful probe since they can penetra…

Neutron star cooling and the rp process in thermonuclear X-ray bursts

J. J. M. in 't Zand, M. E. B. Visser, D. K. Galloway +5

When the upper layer of an accreting neutron star experiences a thermonuclear runaway of helium and hydrogen, it exhibits an X-ray burst of a few keV with a cool-down phase of typi…

On the use of C-stat in testing models for X-ray spectra

J. S. Kaastra

It has been shown that for the analysis of X-ray spectra the C-statistic, contrary to the chi^2-statistic, provides unbiased estimates of the model parameters and their uncertainty…
