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…
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…
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…
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…
