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…
Long-term monitoring of PKS 0537-441 with Fermi-LAT and multiwavelength observations
F. D'Ammando, E. Antolini, G. Tosti +21
We report on multiwavelength observations of the blazar PKS 0537-441 (z = 0.896) obtained from microwaves through gamma rays by SMA, REM, ATOM, Swift and Fermi during 2008 August-2…
