The Twin Magnetars: SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408
S. Mereghetti, A. Tiengo, P. Esposito +10
We report on recent results obtained thanks to Target of Opportunity observations of the two galactic sources SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408. These two transient sources present seve…
Quiet but still bright: XMM-Newton observations of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 0526-66
A. Tiengo, P. Esposito, S. Mereghetti +6
SGR 0526-66 was the first soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) from which a giant flare was detected in March 1979, suggesting the existence of magnetars, i.e. neutron stars powered by th…
The first broad-band X-ray study of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient SAXJ1818.6-1703 in outburst
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, P. Esposito +7
The Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) SAXJ1818.6-1703 underwent an outburst on 2009 May 6 and was observed with Swift. We report on these observations which, for the first tim…
The first outburst of the new magnetar candidate SGR 0501+4516
Nanda Rea, GianLuca Israel, Roberto Turolla +17
We report here on the outburst onset and evolution of the new Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516. We monitored the new SGR with XMM-Newton starting on 2008 August 23, one day after…
Discovery of new gamma-ray pulsars with AGILE
A. Pellizzoni, M. Pilia, A. Possenti +67
Using gamma-ray data collected by the Astrorivelatore Gamma ad Immagini LEggero (AGILE) satellite over a period of almost one year (from 2007 July to 2008 June), we searched for pu…
Suzaku Observation of the New Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516 in Outburst
T. Enoto, Y. E. Nakagawa, N. Rea +17
We present the first Suzaku observation of the new Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 0501+4516, performed on 2008 August 26, four days after the onset of bursting activity of this new member…
