Unveiling the nature of RX J0002+6246 with XMM-Newton
P. Esposito, A. De Luca, A. Tiengo +3
The X-ray source RX J0002+6246 was discovered close to the supernova remnant CTB1 in a ROSAT observation performed in 1992. The source phenomenology (soft spectrum, apparent lack o…
The first Suzaku observation of SGR 1806-20
P. Esposito, A. Tiengo, S. Zane +5
The soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1806-20 has been attracting a lot of attention owing to the fact that in December 2004 it emitted the most powerful giant flare ever observed. Here…
Hard X-ray variability of Magnetar's Tails observed with INTEGRAL
D. Gotz, S. Mereghetti, K. Hurley +7
Magnetar's persistent emission above 10 keV was recently discovered thanks to the imaging capabilities of the IBIS coded mask telescope on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The only tw…
Long term hard X-ray variability of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910 discovered with INTEGRAL
D. Gotz, N. Rea, G. L. Israel +6
We report on a multi-band high-energy observing campaign aimed at studying the long term spectral variability of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar (AXP) 1RXS J170849.0-400910, one of the…
Swift/XRT monitoring of five orbital cycles of LSI +61 303
P. Esposito, P. A. Caraveo, A. Pellizzoni +3
LSI +61 303 is one of the most interesting high-mass X-ray binaries owing to its spatially resolved radio emission and its TeV emission, generally attributed to non-thermal particl…
Discovery of X-ray emission from the young radio pulsar PSR J1357-6429
P. Esposito, A. Tiengo, A. De Luca +1
We present the first X-ray detection of the very young pulsar PSR J1357-6429 (characteristic age of 7.3 kyr) using data from the XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites. We find that the…
