Nonthermal processes and particle acceleration in supernova remnants

Jacco Vink, Aya Bamba

Shocks of supernova remnants (SNRs) accelerate charged particles up to 100 TeV range via diffusive shock acceleration (DSA) mechanism. It is believed that shocks of SNRs are the ma…

Discovery of X-ray burst triplets in EXO 0748-676

L. Boirin, L. Keek, M. Mendez +5

[Abridged] Type-I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear flashes that take place on the surface of accreting neutron stars. The wait time between consecutive bursts is set by the time requ…

The effect of spiral arm passages on the evolution of stellar clusters

M. Gieles, E. Athanassoula, S. F. Portegies Zwart

We study the effect of spiral arm passages on the evolution of star clusters on planar and circular orbits around the centres of galaxies. Individual passages with different relati…

Effervescent heating: constraints from nearby cooling flow clusters observed with XMM-Newton

Rocco Piffaretti, Jelle Kaastra

We have used deprojected radial density and temperature profiles of a sample of 16 nearby CF clusters observed with XMM-Newton to test whether the effervescent heating model can sa…

The evolution of the timing properties of the black-hole transient GX 339-4 during its 2002/2003 outburst

T. Belloni, J. Homan, P. Casella +5

We present the results of the timing and color analysis of more than two hundred RXTE/PCA observations of the bright black-hole transient GX 339-4 obtained during its 2002/2003 out…

Probing the environment in Gamma-ray bursts: the case of an X-ray precursor, afterglow late onset and wind vs constant density profile in GRB011121 and GRB011211

L. Piro, M. De Pasquale, P. Soffitta +9

In this paper we present BeppoSax and XMM observations of two long Gamma-ray bursts, the X-ray rich event of December 11, 2001 (GRB011211) and the hard and very bright event of Nov…
