The measurement errors in the Swift-UVOT and XMM-OM
N. P. M. Kuin, S. R. Rosen
The probability of photon measurement in some photon counting instrumentation, such as the Optical Monitor on the XMM-Newton satellite, and the UVOT on the Swift satellite, does no…
Accurate early positions for Swift GRBS: enhancing X-ray positions with UVOT astrometry
M. R. Goad, L. G. Tyler, A. P. Beardmore +15
Here we describe an autonomous way of producing more accurate prompt XRT positions for Swift-detected GRBs and their afterglows, based on UVOT astrometry and a detailed mapping bet…
The XMM-SSC survey of hard-spectrum XMM-Newton sources 1: optically bright sources
M. J. Page, I. Lehmann, Th. Boller +15
We present optical and X-ray data for a sample of serendipitous XMM-Newton sources that are selected to have 0.5-2 keV vs 2-4.5 keV X-ray hardness ratios which are harder than the…
Statistical Algorithms for Identification of Astronomical X-Ray Sources
Houri Ziaeepour, Simon Rosen
Observations of present and future X-ray telescopes include a large number of serendipidious sources of unknown types. They are a rich source of knowledge about X-ray dominated ast…
Swift observations of GRB050712
M. De Pasquale, D. Grupe, T. S. Poole +12
We present the results of X-ray and optical observations of GRB050712 performed by Swift. The X-ray lightcurve of this burst exhibits episodes of flares in the first 1000s, the sam…
Optical, Infrared, and Ultraviolet Observations of the X-Ray Flash GRB 050416A
S. T. Holland, P. T. Boyd, J. Gorosabel +25
We present ultraviolet, optical, and infrared photometry of the afterglow of the X-ray flash XRF 050416A taken between approximately 100 seconds and 36 days after the burst. We fin…
