Early Emergence of SSS emission in RS Oph
J. -U. Ness, J. P. Osborne, M. Orio +3
Early in the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Oph, Swift detected the onset of the super-soft-source (SSS) phase. An XMM-Newton observation on day 26.1 revealed an unusual so…
Technical Proposal for FASER: ForwArd Search ExpeRiment at the LHC
FASER Collaboration, Akitaka Ariga, Tomoko Ariga +33
FASER is a proposed small and inexpensive experiment designed to search for light, weakly-interacting particles during Run 3 of the LHC from 2021-23. Such particles may be produced…
Swift spectra of AT2018cow: A White Dwarf Tidal Disruption Event?
N. Paul M. Kuin, Kinwah Wu, Samantha Oates +19
The bright transient AT2018cow has been unlike any other known type of transient. Its high brightness, rapid rise and decay and initially nearly featureless spectrum are unpreceden…
Inauguration and First Light of the GCT-M Prototype for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
J. J. Watson, A. De Franco, A. Abchiche +66
The Gamma-ray Cherenkov Telescope (GCT) is a candidate for the Small Size Telescopes (SSTs) of the Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA). Its purpose is to extend the sensitivity of CTA…
The nature of the cataclysmic variable PT Per
Mike Watson, Alastair Bruce, Chelsea MacLeod +1
We present a study of the cataclysmic variable star PT Per based on archival XMM-Newton X-ray data and new optical spectroscopy from the WHT with ISIS. The X-ray data show deep min…
X-ray and UV observations of V751 Cyg in an optical high state
K. L. Page, J. P. Osborne, A. P. Beardmore +3
Aims: The VY Scl system (anti-dwarf nova) V751 Cyg is examined following a claim of a super-soft spectrum in the optical low state. Methods: A serendipitous XMM-Newton X-ray observ…
1SXPS: A deep Swift X-ray Telescope point source catalog with light curves and spectra
P. A. Evans, J. P. Osborne, A. P. Beardmore +9
We present the 1SXPS (Swift-XRT Point Source) catalog of 151,524 X-ray point-sources detected by the Swift-XRT in 8 years of operation. The catalog covers 1905 square degrees distr…
X-ray Luminosities of Optically-Selected Cataclysmic Variables and Application to the Galactic Ridge X-ray Emission
R. C. Reis, P. J. Wheatley, B. T. Gansicke +1
By studying Swift X-ray spectra of an optically-selected, non-magnetic sample of nearby cataclysmic variables (CVs), we show that there is a population with X-ray luminosity much l…
The Swift Burst Analyser I: BAT and XRT spectral and flux evolution of Gamma Ray Bursts
P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +9
Context: Gamma Ray Burst models predict the broadband spectral evolution and the temporal evolution of the energy flux. In contrast, standard data analysis tools and data repositor…
Swift observations of GW Lib: a unique insight into a rare outburst
K. Byckling, J. P. Osborne, P. J. Wheatley +5
The second known outburst of the WZ Sge type dwarf nova GW Lib was observed in April 2007. We have obtained unique multiwavelength data of this outburst which lasted ~ 26 days. AAV…
Improving Swift-XRT positions of GRBs
P. A. Evans, A. P. Beardmore, M. R. Goad +3
Since GRBs fade rapidly, it is important to publish accurate, precise positions at early times. For Swift-detected bursts, the best promptly available position is most commonly the…
Swift X-ray Observations of Classical Novae
J. -U. Ness, G. J. Schwarz, A. Retter +5
The new gamma-ray burst mission Swift has obtained pointed observations of several classical novae in outburst. We analyzed all the observations of classical novae from the Swift a…
The X-ray afterglows of gamma-ray bursts GRB 001025A and GRB 010220 observed with XMM-Newton
D. Watson, J. N. Reeves, J. Osborne +5
The X-ray afterglows of GRB 001025A and GRB 010220 were detected by XMM-Newton with an average 0.2--10.0 keV flux of 4.4 and 3.3x10^{-14} erg cm^{-2} s^{-1} respectively; the after…
ASCA X-ray observations of the disk wind in the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis
D. S. Baskill, P. J. Wheatley, J. P. Osborne
We present ASCA observations of the dwarf nova Z Camelopardalis during outburst and during a transition from quiescence to another outburst. At the beginning of the transition the…
