Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Results from the first year
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +12
Swift has allowed the possibility to give Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries discovered by INTEGRAL, non serendipitous attention th…
Variability in the Prompt Emission of Swift-BAT Gamma-Ray Bursts
T. N. Ukwatta, K. S. Dhuga, W. C. Parke +8
We present the results of our study of the variability time scales of a sample of 27 long Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with known redshifts. The variability time scale can help ou…
Ultraviolet Spectroscopy of Supernovae: The First Two Years of Swift Observations
F. Bufano, S. Immler, M. Turatto +13
We present the entire sample of ultraviolet (UV) spectra of supernovae (SNe) obtained with the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) on board the Swift satellite during the first 2…
Looking Into the Fireball: ROTSE-III and Swift Observations of Early GRB Afterglows
E. S. Rykoff, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +21
We report on a complete set of early optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained with the ROTSE-III telescope network from March 2005 through June 2007. This set is comp…
The Growth of Supermassive Black Holes Across Cosmic Time
K. Nandra, J. A. Aird, D. M. Alexander +54
One of the main themes in extragalactic astronomy for the next decade will be the evolution of galaxies over cosmic time. Many future observatories, including JWST, ALMA, GMT, TMT…
Selection effects on GRB spectral-energy correlations
Lara Nava, Giancarlo Ghirlanda, Gabriele Ghisellini
Instrumental selection effects can act upon the estimates of the peak energy Ep, the fluence F and the peak flux P of GRBs. If this were the case, then the correlations involving t…
