An anti-correlation between X-ray luminosity and H-alpha equivalent width in X-ray binaries
R. P. Fender, D. M. Russell, C. Knigge +3
We report an anticorrelation between continuum luminosity and the equivalent width (EW) of the H-alpha emission line in X-ray binary systems. The effect is evident both in a univer…
The Intrinsic Fraction of Broad Absorption Line Quasars
Christian Knigge, Simone Scaringi, Michael R. Goad +1
We carefully reconsider the problem of classifying broad absorption line quasars (BALQSOs) and derive a new, unbiased estimate of the intrinsic BALQSO fraction from the SDSS DR3 QS…
The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance
David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23
We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…
Accurate early positions for Swift GRBS: enhancing X-ray positions with UVOT astrometry
M. R. Goad, L. G. Tyler, A. P. Beardmore +15
Here we describe an autonomous way of producing more accurate prompt XRT positions for Swift-detected GRBs and their afterglows, based on UVOT astrometry and a detailed mapping bet…
The SSS phase of RS Ophiuchi observed with Chandra and XMM-Newton I.: Data and preliminary Modeling
J. -U. Ness, S. Starrfield, A. P. Beardmore +13
The phase of Super-Soft-Source (SSS) emission of the sixth recorded outburst of the recurrent nova RS Oph was observed twice with Chandra and once with XMM-Newton. The observations…
An online repository of Swift/XRT light curves of GRBs
P. A. Evans, A. P. Beardmore, K. L. Page +12
Context. Swift data are revolutionising our understanding of Gamma Ray Bursts. Since bursts fade rapidly, it is desirable to create and disseminate accurate light curves rapidly. A…
