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…
Swift Follow-up Observations of MAXI Discovered Galactic Transients
J. A. Kennea, P. Romano, V. Mangano +5
We describe the results of the first year of a program to localize new Galactic Transient sources discovered by MAXI with NASA's Swift mission. Swift is ideally suited for follow-u…
Confirmation of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient nature of AX J1841.0-0536 from Swift outburst observations
P. Romano, V. Mangano, G. Cusumano +8
Swift observed an outburst from the supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXT) AX J1841.0-0536 on 2010 June 5, and followed it with XRT for 11 days. The X-ray light curve shows an ini…
Two years of monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift
P. Romano, V. La Parola, S. Vercellone +10
We present two years of intense Swift monitoring of three SFXTs, IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619 (since October 2007). Out-of-outburst intensity-based X-ray (0.…
