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…
First evidence of a cyclotron feature in an anomalous X-ray pulsar
Nanda Rea, Gian Luca Israel, Luigi Stella
We report on the results of the longest uninterrupted observation of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1RXS J1708-4009 obtained with the BeppoSAX satellite in August 2001. In the phase-re…
GRB 020813: polarization in the case of a smooth optical decay
J. Gorosabel, E. Rol, S. Covino +35
We present the results of a VLT polarimetric monitoring campaign of the GRB 020813 optical afterglow carried out in three nights, from 0.88 to 4.20 days after the gamma-ray event.…
