The stellar wind velocity field of HD 77581
A. Manousakis, R. Walter
The early acceleration of stellar winds in massive stars is poorly constrained. The scattering of hard X-ray photons emitted by the pulsar in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 ca…
FACT -- The G-APD revolution in Cherenkov astronomy
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +53
Since two years, the FACT telescope is operating on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from its purpose to serve as a monitoring facility for the brightest TeV blazars, it was bu…
Calibration and performance of the photon sensor response of FACT -- The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope
A. Biland, T. Bretz, J. Buß +33
The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is the first in-operation test of the performance of silicon photo detectors in Cherenkov Astronomy. For more than two years it is operat…
FACT - Long-term Monitoring of Bright TeV-Blazars
D. Dorner, A. Biland, T. Bretz +21
Since October 2011, the First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope (FACT) is operated successfully on the Canary Island of La Palma. Apart from the proof of principle for the use of G-APDs in…
Accretion in supergiant High Mass X-ray Binaries
A. Manousakis, R. Walter, J. Blondin
Supergiant High Mass X-ray Binary systems (sgHMXBs) consist of a massive, late type, star and a neutron star. The massive stars exhibits strong, radiatively driven, stellar winds.…
FACT - The First G-APD Cherenkov Telescope: Status and Results
T. Bretz, H. Anderhub, M. Backes +51
The First G-APD Cherenkov telescope (FACT) is the first telescope using silicon photon detectors (G-APD aka. SiPM). It is built on the mount of the HEGRA CT3 telescope, still locat…
Pulsed thermal emission from the accreting pulsar XMMU J054134.7-682550
A. Manousakis, R. Walter, M. Audard +1
Aims. Soft X-ray excesses have been detected in several Be/X-ray binaries and interpreted as the signature of hard X-ray reprocessing in the inner accretion disk. The system XMMU J…
