Probing the very high redshift Universe with Gamma-ray Bursts: prospects for observations with future X-ray instruments
S. Campana, R. Salvaterra, G. Tagliaferri +2
Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most violent explosions in the Universe. Long duration GRBs are associated with the collapse of massive stars, rivaling their host galaxies in lumin…
LOFT - a Large Observatory For x-ray Timing
M. Feroci, L. Stella, A. Vacchi +46
The high time resolution observations of the X-ray sky hold the key to a number of diagnostics of fundamental physics, some of which are unaccessible to other types of investigatio…
Challenging GRB models through the broadband dataset of GRB060908
S. Covino, S. Campana, M. L. Conciatore +37
Context: Multiwavelength observations of gamma-ray burst prompt and afterglow emission are a key tool to disentangle the various possible emission processes and scenarios proposed…
The 2008 October Swift detection of X-ray bursts/outburst from the transient SGR-like AXP 1E 1547.0-5408
G. L. Israel, P. Esposito, N. Rea +17
We report on the detailed study of the 2008 October outburst from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 1547.0-5408 discovered through the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detection…
The supergiant fast X-ray transients XTE J1739-302 and IGR J08408-4503 in quiescence with XMM-Newton
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, C. Ferrigno +5
Context. Supergiant fast X-ray transients are a subclass of high mass X-ray binaries that host a neutron star accreting mass from the wind of its OB supergiant companion. They are…
INTEGRAL, Swift, and RXTE observations of the 518 Hz accreting transient pulsar Swift J1749.4-2807
C. Ferrigno, E. Bozzo, M. Falanga +7
The burst-only Swift J1749.4-2807 source was discovered in a high X-ray-active state, while during an {INTEGRAL observations of the Galactic bulge on 2010 April 10. Pulsations at 5…
