The Pioneer Venus Orbiter Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. E. Fenimore, A. Crider, J. J. M. int Zand +3
The Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) Gamma-ray burst experiment detected 318 gamma-ray bursts over about 14 years between 1978 and 1992 with near coverage. This data set complement…
NICER observes a secondary peak in the decay of a thermonuclear burst from 4U 1608-52
Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Jérôme Chenevez, Peter Bult +14
We report for the first time below 1.5 keV, the detection of a secondary peak in an Eddington-limited thermonuclear X-ray burst observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Ex…
The LOFT perspective on neutron star thermonuclear bursts
J. J. M. in 't Zand, D. Altamirano, D. R. Ballantyne +31
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
The LOFT Ground Segment
E. Bozzo, A. Antonelli, A. Argan +27
LOFT, the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing, was one of the ESA M3 mission candidates that completed their assessment phase at the end of 2013. LOFT is equipped with two instrumen…
Unveiling the environment surrounding LMXB SAX J1808.4-3658
Ciro Pinto, Elisa Costantini, Andrew C. Fabian +2
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are a natural workbench to study accretion disk phenomena and optimal background sources to measure elemental abundances in the Interstellar medium…
The LOFT Wide Field Monitor simulator
I. Donnarumma, Y. Evangelista, R. Campana +6
We present the simulator we developed for the Wide Field Monitor (WFM) aboard the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing (LOFT) mission, one of the four ESA M3 candidate missions consi…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
XMM-Newton observation of 4U 1820-30: Broad band spectrum and the contribution of the cold interstellar medium
E. Costantini, C. Pinto, J. S. Kaastra +6
We present the analysis of the bright X-ray binary 4U 1820-30, based mainly on XMM-Newton-RGS data, but using complementary data from XMM-Epic, Integral, and Chandra-HETG, to inves…
The Galactic Bulge Survey: outline and X-ray observations
P. G. Jonker, C. G. Bassa, G. Nelemans +22
We introduce the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) and we provide the Chandra source list for the region that has been observed to date. Among the goals of the GBS are constraining the n…
Multi-Instrument X-ray Observations of Thermonuclear Bursts with Short Recurrence Times
L. Keek, D. K. Galloway, J. J. M. in 't Zand +1
Type I X-ray bursts from low-mass X-ray binaries result from a thermonuclear runaway in the material accreted onto the neutron star. Although typical recurrence times are a few hou…
GRB990123: multiwavelength afterglow study
E. Maiorano, N. Masetti, E. Palazzi +13
We report on the BeppoSAX and multiwavelength data analysis of the afterglow of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 990123. Mainly due to its exceptional brightness, this is the only source for…
Bright X-ray bursts from 1E 1724-3045 in Terzan 2
M. Cocchi, A. Bazzano, L. Natalucci +4
During about 3 years wide field monitoring of the Galactic Center region by the WFC telescopes on board the BeppoSAX satellite, a total of 14 type-I X-ray bursts were detected from…
"Clocked" Bursts From GS 1826-238
M. Cocchi, A. Bazzano, L. Natalucci +5
We report on the long term monitoring of the GINGA transient source GS 1826-238 performed with the BeppoSAX Wide Fiels Camera (WFC) instrument, during four different observing camp…
Broad band X-ray spectral properties of Gamma-ray bursts with BeppoSAX
F. Frontera, L. Amati, E. Costa +10
In about one year, five gamma-ray bursts were simultaneously observed with the Wide Field Cameras and Gamma Ray Burst Monitor aboard the BeppoSAX satellite. From some of them X-ray…
Recent X-ray measurements of the accretion-powered pulsar 4U 1907+09
J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Baykal, T. E. Strohmayer
X-ray observations of the accreting X-ray pulsar 4U~1907+09, obtained during February 1996 with the Proportional Counter Array on the Rossi X-ray Timing Experiment (RXTE), have ena…
Gamma-Ray Burst Peak Duration as a Function of Energy
E. E. Fenimore, J. J. M. in 't Zand, J. P. Norris +2
Gamma-ray burst time histories often consist of many peaks. These peaks tend to be narrower at higher energy. If gamma-ray bursts are cosmological, the energy dependence of gamma-r…
