Monthly quasi-periodic eruptions from repeated stellar disruption by a massive black hole
P. A. Evans, C. J. Nixon, S. Campana +12
In recent years, searches of archival X-ray data have revealed galaxies exhibiting nuclear quasi-periodic eruptions with periods of several hours. These are reminiscent of the tida…
Evidence for the magnetar nature of 1E 161348-5055 in RCW 103
A. D'Aì, P. A. Evans, D. N. Burrows +25
We report on the detection of a bright, short, structured X-ray burst coming from the supernova remnant RCW 103 on 2016 June 22 caught by the Swift/BAT monitor, and on the follow-u…
Swift follow-up of the Gravitational Wave source GW150914
P. A. Evans, J. A. Kennea, S. D. Barthelmy +22
The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW) which triggered ALIGO on 2015 September 14. We report on observations taken w…
A complete sample of bright Swift short Gamma-Ray Bursts
P. D'Avanzo, R. Salvaterra, M. G. Bernardini +10
We present a carefully selected sample of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed by the Swift satellite up to June 2013. Inspired by the criteria we used to build a similar sample…
GRB 130427A: a Nearby Ordinary Monster
A. Maselli, A. Melandri, L. Nava +63
Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars, and are typically found in the distant Universe. Because of its intrinsic lumi…
Spectroscopy of Optically Selected BL Lac Objects and their gamma-ray emission
A. Sandrinelli, A. Treves, R. Falomo +4
We present Very Large Telescope optical spectroscopy of nine BL Lac objects of unknown redshift belonging to the list of optically selected radio loud BL Lacs candidates. We explor…
