Observatory science with eXTP
Jean J. M. in 't Zand, Enrico Bozzo, Jinlu Qu +181
In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring s…
THESEUS: a key space mission concept for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics
G. Stratta, R. Ciolfi, L. Amati +55
The recent discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave source GW170817, has demonstrated the huge informative power of multi-messenger observations. Duri…
Polarization of prompt and afterglow emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Stefano Covino, Diego Gotz
Gamma-ray bursts and their afterglows are thought to be produced by an ultra-relativistic jet. One of the most important open questions is the outflow composition: the energy may b…
Accessing the population of high redshift Gamma Ray Bursts
G. Ghirlanda, R. Salvaterra, G. Ghisellini +19
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are a powerful probe of the high redshift Universe. We present a tool to estimate the detection rate of high-z GRBs by a generic detector with defined energ…
Quiescent state and outburst evolution of SGR 0501+4516
A. Camero, A. Papitto, N. Rea +9
We report on the quiescent state of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516 observed by XMM-Newton on 2009 August 30. The source exhibits an absorbed flux ~75 times lower than that m…
The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)
M. Feroci, the LOFT Consortium
High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses an…
