A Suzaku X-ray observation of one orbit of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J16479-4514

L. Sidoli, P. Esposito, V. Sguera +6

We report on a 250 ks long X-ray observation of the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR J16479-4514 performed with Suzaku in 2012 February. About 80% of the short orbital pe…

X-ray emission from hot subdwarfs with compact companions

Sandro Mereghetti, Nicola La Palombara, Paolo Esposito +1

We review the X-ray observations of hot subdwarf stars. While no X-ray emission has been detected yet from binaries containing B-type subdwarfs, interesting results have been obtai…

Multi-wavelength Observations of the Radio Magnetar PSR J1622-4950 and Discovery of its Possibly Associated Supernova Remnant

Gemma E. Anderson, B. M. Gaensler, Patrick O. Slane +29

We present multi-wavelength observations of the radio magnetar PSR J1622-4950 and its environment. Observations of PSR J1622-4950 with Chandra (in 2007 and 2009) and XMM (in 2011)…
