The birthplace and age of the isolated neutron star RX J1856.5-3754
R. P. Mignani, D. Vande Putte, M. Cropper +6
X-ray observations unveiled various types of radio-silent Isolated Neutron Stars (INSs), phenomenologically very diverse, e.g. the Myr old X-ray Dim INS (XDINSs) and the kyr old ma…
X-ray and radio observations of the magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 and its dust-scattering halo
P. Esposito, A. Tiengo, N. Rea +13
We present a long-term study of the 2011 outburst of the magnetar Swift J1834.9-0846 carried out using new Chandra observations, as well as all the available Swift, RXTE, and XMM-N…
A new low-B magnetar: Swift J1822.3-1606
A. Camero-Arranz, N. Rea, G. L. Israel +16
We report on the long term X-ray monitoring with Swift, RXTE, Suzaku, Chandra, and XMM-Newton of the outburst of the newly discovered magnetar Swift J1822.3-1606 (SGR 182-1606), fr…
Accelerator experiments with soft protons and hyper-velocity dust particles: application to ongoing projects of future X-ray missions
E. Perinati, S. Diebold, E. Kendziorra +31
We report on our activities, currently in progress, aimed at performing accelerator experiments with soft protons and hyper-velocity dust particles. They include tests of different…
The on-board data handling concept for the LOFT Large Area Detector
S. Suchy, P. Uter, C. Tenzer +9
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT) is one of the four candidate ESA M3 missions considered for launch in the time-frame of 2022. It is specifically designed to perform f…
Calibration strategies for the LAD instrument on-board LOFT
Luigi Pacciani, Paolo Soffitta, Andrea Argan +12
The Scientific objectives of the LOFT mission, e.g., the study of the Neutron Star equation of state and of the Strong Gravity, require accurate energy, time and flux calibration f…
