The optical rebrightening of GRB100814A: an interplay of forward and reverse shocks?

Massimiliano De Pasquale, N. P. M. Kuin, S. Oates +36

We present a wide dataset of gamma-ray, X-ray, UVOIR, and radio observations of the Swift GRB100814A. At the end of the slow decline phase of the X-ray and optical afterglow, this…

A variable absorption feature in the X-ray spectrum of a magnetar

Andrea Tiengo, Paolo Esposito, Sandro Mereghetti +9

Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) and anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs) are slowly rotating, isolated neutron stars that sporadically undergo episodes of long-term flux enhancement (out…
