The Orbit of NGC 5907 ULX-1
Andrea Belfiore, Ruben Salvaterra, Lara Sidoli +13
We report on the orbit of the binary system powering the most extreme ultraluminous X-ray pulsar known to date: NGC 5907 ULX-1 (hereafter ULX1). ULX1 has been the target of a subst…
Discovery of a 0.42-s pulsar in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 7793 P13
G. L. Israel, A. Papitto, P. Esposito +11
NGC 7793 P13 is a variable (luminosity range ~100) ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) proposed to host a stellar-mass black hole of less than 15 M in a binary system with o…
The X-ray outburst of the Galactic Centre magnetar SGR J1745-2900 during the first 1.5 year
F. Coti Zelati, N. Rea, A. Papitto +17
In 2013 April a new magnetar, SGR 1745-2900, was discovered as it entered an outburst, at only 2.4 arcsec angular distance from the supermassive black hole at the Centre of the Mil…
Searching for small-scale diffuse emission around SGR 1806-20
D. Viganò, N. Rea, P. Esposito +6
Diffuse radio emission was detected around the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1806-20, after its 2004 powerful giant flare. We study the possible extended X-ray emission at small scal…
A strongly magnetized pulsar within grasp of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole
N. Rea, P. Esposito, J. A. Pons +21
The center of our Galaxy hosts a supermassive black hole, Sagittarius (Sgr) A*. Young, massive stars within 0.5 pc of SgrA* are evidence of an episode of intense star formation nea…
The outburst decay of the low magnetic field magnetar SGR 0418+5729
N. Rea, G. L. Israel, J. A. Pons +20
We report on the long term X-ray monitoring of the outburst decay of the low magnetic field magnetar SGR 0418+5729, using all the available X-ray data obtained with RXTE, SWIFT, Ch…
