How rapidly do neutron stars spin at birth?
Roberto Soria, Rosalba Perna, David Pooley +1
We have studied the X-ray properties of ageing historical core-collapse supernovae in nearby galaxies, using archival data from Chandra, XMM-Newton and Swift. We found possible evi…
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…
The short GRB070707 afterglow and its very faint host galaxy
S. Piranomonte, P. D'Avanzo, S. Covino +18
We present the results from an ESO/VLT campaign aimed at studying the afterglow properties of the short/hard gamma ray burst GRB 070707. Observations were carried out at ten differ…
The host galaxy of GRB031203: a new spectroscopic study
R. Margutti, G. Chincarini, S. Covino +11
The host galaxy of the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 031203 (HG031203) offers a precious opportunity to study in detail the environment of a nearby GRB. The aim is to better…
Unveiling the nature of the 321s Orbital Period X-ray source RX J0806.3+1527
GianLuca Israel, Luigi Stella, Stefano Covino +5
A nearly simultaneous X-ray/optical (Chandra and VLT) observational campaign of RX J0806.3+1527 has been carried out during November 2001. These observations allowed us to phase th…
A fast X-ray timing capability on XEUS
D. Barret, G. Skinner, E. Kendziorra +6
Fast X-ray timing can be used to probe strong gravity fields around collapsed objects and constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars. These studies require ex…
