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…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. III. Optical Continuum Emission and Broad-Band Time Delays in NGC 5548

M. M. Fausnaugh, K. D. Denney, A. J. Barth +94

We present ground-based optical photometric monitoring data for NGC 5548, part of an extended multi-wavelength reverberation mapping campaign. The light curves have nearly daily ca…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. I. Ultraviolet Observations of the Seyfert 1 Galaxy NGC 5548 with the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on Hubble Space Telescope

G. De Rosa, B. M. Peterson, J. Ely +47

We describe the first results from a six-month long reverberation-mapping experiment in the ultraviolet based on 170 observations of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 5548 with the Cosmic O…

GRB 130427A: a Nearby Ordinary Monster

A. Maselli, A. Melandri, L. Nava +63

Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars, and are typically found in the distant Universe. Because of its intrinsic lumi…

An origin for short g-ray bursts unassociated with current star formation

S. D. Barthelmy, G. Chincarini, D. N. Burrows +28

Two short (<2 s) g-ray bursts (GRBs) have recently been localized and fading afterglow counterparts detected. The combination of these two results left unclear the nature of the ho…
