The unusual X-ray light-curve of GRB 080307: the onset of the afterglow?
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, P. T. O'Brien +11
Swift-detected GRB 080307 showed an unusual smooth rise in its X-ray light-curve around 100 seconds after the burst, at the start of which the emission briefly softened. This `hump…
On the evidence for narrow, relativistically shifted X-ray lines
S. Vaughan, P. Uttley
In recent years there have been many reported detections of highly redshifted or blueshifted narrow spectral lines (both emission or absorption) in the X-ray spectra of active gala…
XMM-Newton slew survey discovery of the nova XMMSL1 J070542.7-381442 (V598 Pup)
A. M. Read, R. D. Saxton, M. A. P. Torres +6
In an attempt to catch new X-ray transients while they are still bright, the data taken by XMM-Newton as it slews between targets is being processed and cross-correlated with other…
An online repository of Swift/XRT light curves of GRBs
P. A. Evans, A. P. Beardmore, K. L. Page +12
Context. Swift data are revolutionising our understanding of Gamma Ray Bursts. Since bursts fade rapidly, it is desirable to create and disseminate accurate light curves rapidly. A…
The highly obscured region around PKS1343-601 - I. Galactic interstellar extinctions using DENIS galaxy colours
A. C. Schroeder, G. A. Mamon, R. C. Kraan-Korteweg +1
The highly obscured radio-bright galaxy PKS1343-601 (l=309.7, b=+1.8) has been suspected to mark the centre of a hitherto unknown cluster in the Great Attractor region. As such it…
Detecting X-ray QPOs in Active Galaxies
S. Vaughan, P. Uttley
Since EXOSAT produced the first good quality X-ray light curves of Seyfert galaxies there have been several claims of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). None of these have withsto…
