The Outburst Decay of the Low Magnetic Field Magnetar SWIFT J1822.3-1606: Phase-resolved Analysis and Evidence for a Variable Cyclotron Feature
Guillermo A. Rodríguez Castillo, Gian Luca Israel, Andrea Tiengo +12
We study the timing and spectral properties of the low-magnetic field, transient magnetar SWIFT J1822.3-1606 as it approached quiescence. We coherently phase-connect the observatio…
Swift J201424.9+152930: discovery of a new deeply eclipsing binary with 491 s and 3.4 h modulations
P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, D. de Martino +13
We report on the discovery of a new X-ray pulsator, Swift J201424.9+152930 (Sw J2014). Owing to its X-ray modulation at 491 s, it was discovered in a systematic search for coherent…
Spectral properties of the soft excess pulsar RX J0059.2-7138 during its 2013 outburst
L. Sidoli, N. La Palombara, P. Esposito +2
We report on an X-ray observation of the Be X-ray Binary Pulsar RX J0059.2-7138, performed by XMM-Newton in March 2014. The 19 ks long observation was carried out about three month…
Giant outburst from the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J17544-2619: accretion from a transient disc?
P. Romano, E. Bozzo, V. Mangano +7
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are high mass X-ray binaries associated with OB supergiant companions and characterised by an X-ray flaring behaviour whose dynamical range…
The study of neutron star magnetospheres with LOFT
R. P. Mignani, F. Bocchino, N. Bucciantini +24
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
NGC 2276: a remarkable galaxy with a large number of ULXs
Anna Wolter, Paolo Esposito, Michela Mapelli +2
The starbusting, nearby (D = 32.9 Mpc) spiral (Sc) galaxy NGC2276 belongs to the sparse group dominated by the elliptical galaxy NGC2300. NGC2276 is a remarkable galaxy, as it disp…
