Science with the new generation high energy gamma- ray experiments
M. Alvarez, D. D'Armiento, G. Agnetta +197
This Conference is the fifth of a series of Workshops on High Energy Gamma- ray Experiments, following the Conferences held in Perugia 2003, Bari 2004, Cividale del Friuli 2005, El…
GAW - An Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope with Large Field of View
G. Cusumano, G. Agnetta, A. Alberdi +47
GAW, acronym for Gamma Air Watch, is a Research and Development experiment in the TeV range, whose main goal is to explore the feasibility of large field of view Imaging Atmospheri…
Swift observations of GRB 070110: an extraordinary X-ray afterglow powered by the central engine
E. Troja, G. Cusumano, P. O'Brien +22
We present a detailed analysis of Swift multi-wavelength observations of GRB 070110 and its remarkable afterglow. The early X-ray light curve, interpreted as the tail of the prompt…
A multicomponent model for the optical to gamma-ray emission from the Crabpulsar
R. Campana, E. Massaro, G. Cusumano +1
We present a multicomponent model to explain the features of the pulsed emission and spectrum of the Crab Pulsar, on the basis of X and gamma-ray observations performed with BeppoS…
A refined position catalog of the Swift XRT afterglows
A. Moretti, M. Perri, M. Capalbi +22
We present a catalogue of refined positions of 68 gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglows observed by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) from the launch up to 2005 Oct 16. This is a result o…
GAW, Gamma Air Watch - A Large Field of View Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov
M. C. Maccarone, G. Agnetta, P. Assis +26
GAW, acronym for Gamma Air Watch, is a path-finder experiment to test the feasibility of a new generation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes that join high flux sensitivit…
BeppoSAX observation of PSR B1937+21
L. Nicastro, G. Cusumano, O. Loehmer +5
We present the results of a BeppoSAX observation of the fastest rotating pulsar known: PSR B1937+21. The ~200 ks observation (78.5 ks MECS/34 ks LECS on-source time) allowed us to…
The phase of the radio and X-ray pulses of PSR B1937+21
G. Cusumano, W. Hermsen, M. Kramer +6
We present timing and spectral results of PSR B1937+21, the fastest known millisecond pulsar (P about 1.56 ms), observed with RXTE. The pulse profile, detected up to 20 keV, shows…
The X-ray emission of the Crab-like pulsar PSR J0537-6910
T. Mineo, G. Cusumano, E. Massaro
In this paper we present some preliminary result on the spectral and timing analysis of the X-ray pulsed emission from the 16 ms pulsar PSR J0537-6910 in the energy range 0.1--30 k…
Timing, glitches and braking index of PSR B0540-69
G. Cusumano, E. Massaro, T. Mineo
We report a pulse-time history of PSR B054069 based on the analysis of an extended Data set including ASCA, BeppoSAX and RXTE observations spanning a time interval of about 8 ye…
GAW (Gamma Air Watch): a novel imaging Cherenkov telescope
G. Cusumano, G. Agnetta, B. Biondo +9
GAW (Gamma Air Watch) is a new imaging Cherenkov telescope designed for observation of very high-energy gamma-ray sources. GAW will be equipped with a 3 meter diameter Fresnel lens…
Fine phase resolved spectroscopy of the X-ray emission of the Crab pulsar (PSR B0531+21) observed with BeppoSAX
E. Massaro, G. Cusumano, M. Litterio +1
The Crab Nebula and the Pulsar have been pointed several times by the BeppoSAX satellite. We analysed all these observations, summed together, to study the main spectral properties…
The broad-band X-ray spectrum of the Cas A supernova remnant as seen by the BeppoSAX observatory
F. Favata, J. Vink, D. Dal Fiume +6
We present a broad band X-ray observation of the Cas A supernova remnant, obtained with the 4 narrow field instruments on board the BeppoSAX satellite. The X-ray spectrum thus obta…
