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…
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…
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…
SN 2003lw and GRB 031203: A Bright Supernova for a Faint Gamma-ray Burst
D. Malesani, G. Tagliaferri, G. Chincarini +23
Optical and near-infrared observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 031203, at z = 0.1055, are reported. A very faint afterglow is detected superimposed to the host galaxy in our fir…
