Paper II: Calibration of the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope

A. A. Breeveld, P. A. Curran, E. A. Hoversten +32

The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The photometric calibration has been published, and this paper follows up with d…

An accretion disc origin for the `X-ray broad line region' in 1H0707-495

A. J. Blustin, A. C. Fabian

We use a 380 ks XMM-Newton high-resolution RGS spectrum to look for narrow spectral features from the nuclear environment of 1H0707-495. We do not find any evidence of a line-of-si…

Properties of X-ray selected Broad Absorption Line Quasars

A. J. Blustin, T. Dwelly, M. J. Page +6

Broad absorption line quasars (commonly termed BALQSOs) contain the most dramatic examples of AGN-driven winds. The high absorbing columns in these winds, ~10^24 cm^-2, ensure that…

Early afterglow detection in the Swift observations of GRB 050801

Massimiliano De Pasquale, S. R. Oates, M. J. Page +8

We present results of Swift optical, UV and X-ray observations of the afterglow of GRB 050801. The source is visible over the full optical, UV and X-ray energy range of the Swift U…
