GW170817: Observation of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Neutron Star Inspiral
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, The Virgo Collaboration
On August 17, 2017 at 12:41:04 UTC the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo gravitational-wave detectors made their first observation of a binary neutron star inspiral. The signal, GW1…
Evidence for the magnetar nature of 1E 161348-5055 in RCW 103
A. D'Aì, P. A. Evans, D. N. Burrows +25
We report on the detection of a bright, short, structured X-ray burst coming from the supernova remnant RCW 103 on 2016 June 22 caught by the Swift/BAT monitor, and on the follow-u…
Swift follow-up of the Gravitational Wave source GW150914
P. A. Evans, J. A. Kennea, S. D. Barthelmy +22
The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) which triggered ALIGO on 2015 September 14. We report on observations taken w…
Pan-Chromatic observations of the Recurrent Nova LMC 2009a (LMC 1971b)
M. F. Bode, M. J. Darnley, A. P. Beardmore +11
Nova LMC 2009a is confirmed as a Recurrent Nova (RN) from positional coincidence with nova LMC 1971b. The observational data set is one of the most comprehensive for any Galactic o…
Swift detection of the super-swift switch-on of the super-soft phase in nova V745 Sco (2014)
K. L. Page, J. P. Osborne, N. P. M. Kuin +15
V745 Sco is a recurrent nova, with the most recent eruption occurring in February 2014. V745 Sco was first observed by Swift a mere 3.7 hr after the announcement of the optical dis…
The 100-month Swift catalogue of supergiant fast X-ray transients I. BAT on-board and transient monitor flares
P. Romano, H. A. Krimm, D. M. Palmer +10
We investigate the characteristics of bright flares for a sample of supergiant fast X-ray transients and their relation to the orbital phase. We have retrieved all Swift/BAT Transi…
