The first orbital period of a very bright and fast Nova in M31: M31N 2013-01b

Martino Marelli, Domitilla De Martino, Sandro Mereghetti +5

We present the first X-ray and UV/optical observations of a very bright and fast nova in the disc of M31, M31N 2013-01b. The nova reached a peak magnitude 15 mag and decayed…

The two tails of PSR J2055+2539 as seen by Chandra: analysis of the nebular morphology and pulsar proper motion

Martino Marelli, Andrea Tiengo, Andrea De Luca +4

We analyzed two Chandra observations of PSR J2055+2539 (for a total integration time of 130 ks) in order to measure its proper motion and study its two elongated nebular feat…

A new Ultraluminous X-ray source in the galaxy NGC 5907

F. Pintore, A. Belfiore, G. Novara +14

We report on the serendipitous discovery of a new transient in NGC 5907, at a peak luminosity of 6.4x10^{39} erg/s. The source was undetected in previous 2012 Chandra observations…

Observations of one young and three middle-aged -ray pulsars with the Gran Telescopio Canarias

R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, N. Rea +4

We used the 10.4m Gran Telescopio Canarias to search for the optical counterparts to four isolated -ray pulsars, all detected in the X-rays by either \xmm\ or \chan\ but not yet…
