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…
On the evolution of the Gamma- and X-ray luminosities of Pulsar Wind Nebulae
Fabio Mattana, Maurizio Falanga, Diego Götz +7
Pulsar wind nebulae are a prominent class of very high energy (E > 0.1 TeV) Galactic sources. Their Gamma-ray spectra are interpreted as due to inverse Compton scattering of ultrar…
Chandra astrometry sets a tight upper limit to the proper motion of SGR 1900+14
A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo, P. Esposito +1
The soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) SGR 1900+14 lies a few arcminutes outside the edge of the shell supernova remnant (SNR) G42.8+0.6. A physical association between the two systems…
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…
