GRB host galaxies with VLT/X-Shooter: properties at 0.8 < z < 1.3
S. Piranomonte, J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani +19
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the death of massive stars. Their host galaxies therefore represent a unique class of objects tracing star formation across the ob…
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…
Hunting for Magnetars in High Mass X-ray Binaries. The Case of SuperGiant Fast X-Ray Transients
E. Bozzo, M. Falanga, L. Stella
In this paper we summarize some aspects of the wind accretion theory in high mass X-ray binaries hosting a magnetic neutron star and a supergiant companion. In particular, we conce…
Intensity-hardness correlation and deep infrared observation of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849-400910
N. Rea, G. L. Israel, T. Oosterbroek +6
We report here on X-ray and IR observations of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1RXS J170849-400910. First, we report on new XMM-Newton, Swift-XRT and Chandra observations of this AXP, w…
Magnetars' Giant Flares: the case of SGR 1806-20
Nanda Rea
We first review on the peculiar characteristics of the bursting and flaring activity of the Soft Gamma-ray Repeaters and Anomalous X-ray Pulsars. We then report on the properties o…
Astrophysical Unipolar Inductors Powered by Gravitational Wave Emission
Simone Dall'Osso, Gian Luca Israel, Luigi Stella
We consider the Unipolar Inductor Model (Goldreich & Lynden-Bell 1969) applied to Double Degenerate Binaries (DDBs) with ultrashort periods (Wu et al. 2002). In this model a magnet…
