IGRJ16479-4514: the first eclipsing supergiant fast X-ray transient?
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, G. Israel +2
Supergiant fast X-ray transients are a new class of high mass X-ray binaries recently discovered with INTEGRAL. Hours long outbursts from these sources have been observed on numero…
A Swift gaze into the 2006 March 29th burst forest of SGR 1900+14
G. L. Israel, P. Romano, V. Mangano +16
We report on the intense burst ``forest'' recorded on 2006 March 29 which lasted for ~30s. More than 40 bursts were detected both by BAT and by XRT, seven of which are rare interme…
The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance
David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23
We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…
X-Ray Eclipse Time Delays in 4U2129+47
E. Bozzo, M. Falanga, A. Papitto +8
4U 2129+47 was discovered in the early 80's and classified as an accretion disk corona source due to its broad and partial X-ray eclipses. The 5.24 hr binary orbital period was inf…
The exceptionally extended flaring activity in the X-ray afterglow of GRB 050730 observed with Swift and XMM-Newton
M. Perri, D. Guetta, L. A. Antonelli +27
We present the results of a detailed spectral and temporal analysis of Swift and XMM-Newton observations of the high redshift (z=3.969) GRB 050730. The X-ray afterglow of GRB 05073…
Swift and Chandra confirm the intensity-hardness correlation of the AXP 1RXS J170849.0-400910
S. Campana, N. Rea, G. L. Israel +2
Convincing evidence for long-term variations in the emission properties of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910 has been gathered in the last few years. In particular,…
