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…
Deep infrared observations of the puzzling central X-ray source in RCW103
A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, S. Zaggia +4
1E 161348-5055 (1E 1613) is a point-like, soft X-ray source originally identified as a radio-quiet, isolated neutron star, shining at the center of the 2000 yr old supernova remnan…
1E161348-5055 in the Supernova Remnant RCW 103: A Magnetar in a Young Low Mass Binary System?
Fabio Pizzolato, Monica Colpi, Andrea De Luca +2
We suggest that the unique X-ray source 1E161348-5055 at the centre of the supernova remnant RCW 103 consists of a neutron star in close orbit with a low mass main sequence star. T…
HST multi-epoch imaging of the PSR B0540-69 system unveils a highly dynamic synchrotron nebula
A. De Luca, R. P. Mignani, P. A. Caraveo +1
PSR B0540-69 is the Crab twin in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Age, energetic and overall behaviour of the two pulsars are very similar. The same is true for the general appearance o…
Phase resolved spectroscopy of the Vela pulsar with XMM-Newton
A. Manzali, A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo
The ~10^4 y old Vela Pulsar represents the bridge between the young Crab-like and the middle-aged rotation powered pulsars. Its multiwavelength behaviour is due to the superpositio…
