X-ray Cluster Cosmology
A. Vikhlinin, S. Murray, R. Gilli +18
Sensitive, wide-area X-ray surveys which would be possible with the WFXT will detect huge samples of virialized objects spanning the mass range from sub-groups to the most massive…
The growth and evolution of super massive black holes
S. Murray, R. Gilli, P. Tozzi +19
We discuss the central role played by X-ray studies to reconstruct the past history of formation and evolution of supermassive Black Holes (BHs), and the role they played in shapin…
The Very Local Universe in X-rays
A. Ptak, E. Feigelson, Y. -H. Chu +25
While the exceptional sensitivity of Chandra and XMM-Newton has resulted in revolutionary studies of the Galactic neighborhood in the soft (<10 keV) X-ray band, there are many open…
Modelling the spectral response of the Swift-XRT CCD camera: Experience learnt from in-flight calibration
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +11
(Abbreviated) We show that the XRT spectral response calibration was complicated by various energy offsets in photon counting (PC) and windowed timing (WT) modes related to the way…
Accurate early positions for Swift GRBS: enhancing X-ray positions with UVOT astrometry
M. R. Goad, L. G. Tyler, A. P. Beardmore +15
Here we describe an autonomous way of producing more accurate prompt XRT positions for Swift-detected GRBs and their afterglows, based on UVOT astrometry and a detailed mapping bet…
An online repository of Swift/XRT light curves of GRBs
P. A. Evans, A. P. Beardmore, K. L. Page +12
Context. Swift data are revolutionising our understanding of Gamma Ray Bursts. Since bursts fade rapidly, it is desirable to create and disseminate accurate light curves rapidly. A…
