Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Results from the first year
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +12
Swift has allowed the possibility to give Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries discovered by INTEGRAL, non serendipitous attention th…
GRB 060607A: A GRB with Bright Asynchronous Early -ray and Optical Emissions
Houri Ziaeepour, Stephen T. Holland, Patricia T. Boyd +8
The early optical emission of the moderately high redshift () GRB 060607A shows a remarkable broad and strong peak with a rapid rise and a relatively slow power-law decay.…
Discovery of the accretion-powered millisecond pulsar SWIFT J1756.9-2508 with a low-mass companion
H. A. Krimm, C. B. Markwardt, C. J. Deloye +10
We report on the discovery by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer of the eighth known transient accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, SWIFT J1756.9-2508, as part of routine observat…
Nonthermal Hard X-ray Emission and Iron Kalpha Emission from a Superflare on II Pegasi
R. A. Osten, S. Drake, J. Tueller +4
We report on an X-ray flare detected on the active binary system II~Pegasi with the Swift telescope. The trigger had a 10-200 keV luminosity of 2.2 erg s-- a…
The X-ray afterglow of the short gamma ray burst 050724
S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri, D. Lazzati +23
Short duration (<2 s) Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been a mystery since their discovery. Until May 2005 very little was known about short GRBs, but this situation has changed rapid…
Confirmation of the $\eps$ -- $\eiso$ (Amati) relation from the X-ray flash XRF 050416A observed by Swift/BAT
T. Sakamoto, L. Barbier, S. D. Barthelmy +10
We report Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) observations of the X-ray Flash (XRF) XRF 050416A. The fluence ratio between the 15-25 keV and 25-50 keV energy bands of this event is 1…
