The progenitor of a type Ia supernova with a short delay time?
S. Mereghetti, N. La Palombara, A. Tiengo +3
HD49798/RXJ0648.0-4418 is the only known X-ray binary composed of a hot subdwarf and a massive white dwarf (M=1.28+/-0.05 Msun). This system, with an orbital period of 1.55 days, i…
A search for the near-infrared counterpart of the eclipsing millisecond X-ray pulsar Swift J1749.4-2807
P. D'Avanzo, S. Campana, T. Munoz-Darias +4
Swift J1749.4-2807 is a transient accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars, the first that displayed X-ray eclipses. Therefore it holds a great potential for accurate mass measurements…
XMM-Newton observations of IGRJ18410-0535: The ingestion of a clump by a supergiant fast X-ray transient
E. Bozzo, A. Giunta, G. Cusumano +6
IGRJ18410-0535 is a supergiant fast X-ray transients. This subclass of supergiant X-ray binaries typically undergoes few- hour-long outbursts reaching luminosities of 10^(36)-10^(3…
X-ray and optical observations of the unique binary system HD49798/RXJ0648.0-4418
S. Mereghetti, N. La Palombara, A. Tiengo +5
We report the results of XMM-Newton observations of HD49798/RXJ0648.0-4418, the only known X-ray binary consisting of a hot sub-dwarf and a white dwarf. The white dwarf rotates ver…
Long-term spectral and timing properties of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1833-0832 and detection of extended X-ray emission around the radio pulsar PSR B1830-08
P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, R. Turolla +19
SGR 1833-0832 was discovered on 2010 March 19 thanks to the Swift detection of a short hard X-ray burst and follow-up X-ray observations. Since then, it was repeatedly observed wit…
