The rare X-ray flaring activity of the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7
Fabio Pintore, S. Motta, C. Pinto +9
Ultraluminous X-ray sources are considered amongst the most extremely accreting objects in the local Universe. The recent discoveries of pulsating neutron stars in ULXs strengthene…
Swift-XRT follow-up of gravitational wave triggers during the third aLIGO/Virgo observing run
K. L. Page, P. A. Evans, A. Tohuvavohu +41
The Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory followed up 18 gravitational wave (GW) triggers from the LIGO/Virgo collaboration during the O3 observing run in 2019/2020, performing approximat…
A search for optical and near-infrared counterparts of the compact binary merger GW190814
A. L. Thakur, S. Dichiara, E. Troja +29
We report on our observing campaign of the compact binary merger GW190814, detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors on August 14th, 2019. This signal has the best…
Modelling optical emission of Ultra-luminous X-ray Sources accreting above the Eddington limit
Elena Ambrosi, Luca Zampieri
We study the evolution of binary systems of Ultra-luminous X-ray sources and compute their optical emission assuming accretion onto a black hole via a non standard, advection-domin…
A new Ultraluminous X-ray source in the galaxy NGC 5907
F. Pintore, A. Belfiore, G. Novara +14
We report on the serendipitous discovery of a new transient in NGC 5907, at a peak luminosity of 6.4x10^{39} erg/s. The source was undetected in previous 2012 Chandra observations…
