Swift X-ray and UV monitoring of the Classical Nova V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007)
J. -U. Ness, J. J. Drake, A. P. Beardmore +18
We describe the highly variable X-ray and UV emission of V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007), observed by Swift between 1 and 422 days after outburst. Initially bright only in the UV, V458 Vu…
Multiple flaring activity in the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 observed with Swift
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +11
IGR J08408-4503 is a supergiant fast X-ray transient discovered in 2006 with a confirmed association with a O8.5Ib(f) supergiant star, HD 74194. We report on the analysis of two ou…
Jet breaks at the end of the slow decline phase of Swift GRB lightcurves
M. De Pasquale, P. Evans, S. Oates +9
The Swift mission has discovered an intriguing feature of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) afterglows, a phase of shallow decline of the flux in the X-ray and optical lightcurves. This behav…
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…
