X-ray monitoring of classical novae in the central region of M 31. II. Autumn and winter 2007/2008 and 2008/2009
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +7
[Abridged] Classical novae (CNe) represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbouring galaxy M 31. We performed a dedicated monitor…
X-ray monitoring of classical novae in the central region of M 31. I. June 2006 - March 2007
M. Henze, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +9
(Abridged) Classical novae (CNe) have recently been reported to represent the major class of supersoft X-ray sources (SSSs) in the central region of our neighbour galaxy M 31. We c…
The afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 090205: evidence for a Ly-alpha emitter at z=4.65
P. D'Avanzo, M. Perri, D. Fugazza +17
Gamma-ray bursts have been proved to be detectable up to distances much larger than any other astrophysical object, providing the most effective way, complementary to ordinary surv…
The Sooner: a Large Robotic Telescope
G. Chincarini, M. Zannoni, S. Covino +30
The approach of Observational Astronomy is mainly aimed at the construction of larger aperture telescopes, more sensitive detectors and broader wavelength coverage. Certainly fruit…
Unveiling the origin of X-ray flares in Gamma-Ray Bursts
G. Chincarini, J. Mao, R. Margutti +10
We present an updated catalog of 113 X-ray flares detected by Swift in the ~33% of the X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRB). 43 flares have a measured redshift. For the first…
Nearby Supernova Rates from the Lick Observatory Supernova Search. IV. A Recovery Method for the Delay Time Distribution
Dan Maoz, Filippo Mannucci, Weidong Li +3
The supernova (SN) delay-time distribution (DTD) - the SN rate versus time that would follow a brief burst of star formation - can shed light on SN progenitors, and on chemical enr…
