Multiple flaring activity in the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 observed with Swift
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +11
IGR J08408-4503 is a supergiant fast X-ray transient discovered in 2006 with a confirmed association with a O8.5Ib(f) supergiant star, HD 74194. We report on the analysis of two ou…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera during 2006-2007
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +26
The Swift X-ray Telescope focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 135 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV as measured before launch. We describe t…
New flaring of an ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC 1365
R. Soria, A. Baldi, G. Risaliti +4
We have studied a highly variable ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the Fornax galaxy NGC 1365, with a series of 12 Chandra and XMM-Newton observations between 2002 and 2006. In…
GRB 050410 and GRB 050412: are they really dark GRBs?
T. Mineo, V. Mangano, S. Covino +20
We present a detailed analysis of the prompt and afterglow emission of GRB 050410 and GRB 050412 detected by Swift for which no optical counterpart was observed. The 15-150 keV ene…
The First Survey of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts Observed by Swift: Temporal Properties and Morphology
G. Chincarini, A. Moretti, P. Romano +24
We present the first systematic investigation of the morphological and timing properties of flares in GRBs observed by Swift/XRT. We consider a large sample drawn from all GRBs det…
The circumburst environment of a FRED GRB: study of the prompt emission and X-ray/optical afterglow of GRB 051111
C. Guidorzi, A. Gomboc, S. Kobayashi +14
We report a multi-wavelength analysis of the prompt emission and early afterglow of GRB051111 and discuss its properties in the context of current fireball models. The detection of…
