XMM-Newton discovery of 2.6 s pulsations in the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, A. Tiengo, S. Mereghetti +6
After nearly a decade of quiescence, the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41 reactivated on 2008 May 28 with a bursting episode followed by a slowly decaying enhancement of its per…
INTEGRAL Cross-calibration Status: Crab observations between 3 keV and 1 MeV
E. Jourdain, D. Gotz, N. J. Westergaard +2
We present results of Crab observations by the INTEGRAL instruments. A simultaneous fit allows us to demonstrate that INTEGRAL provides reliable spectra over its wide energy range.
XIAO: a soft X-ray telescope for the SVOM Mission
S. Mereghetti, A. De Luca, M. Fiorini +23
The study of Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is a key field to expand our understanding of several astrophysical and cosmological phenomena. SVOM is a Chinese-French Mission which will per…
IGR J08408--4503: a new recurrent Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient
D. Gotz, M. Falanga, F. Senziani +3
The supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 was discovered by INTEGRAL on May 15, 2006, during a bright flare. The source shows sporadic recurrent short bright flares, reac…
Evidence for 1122 Hz X-Ray Burst Oscillations from the Neutron-Star X-Ray Transient XTE J1739-285
P. Kaaret, Z. Prieskorn, J. J. M. in 't Zand +6
We report on millisecond variability from the X-ray transient XTE J1739-285. We detected six X-ray type I bursts and found evidence for oscillations at 1122 +/- 0.3 Hz in the brigh…
Unveiling Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters with INTEGRAL
D. Gotz, S. Mereghetti, K. Hurley
Thanks to INTEGRAL's long exposures of the Galactic Plane, the two brightest Soft Gamma-Ray Repeaters, SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14, have been monitored and studied in detail for th…
