Searching for supergiant fast X-ray transients with Swift
P. Romano, E. Bozzo, P. Esposito +11
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) hosting a neutron star and an OB supergiant companion. We examine the available Swift data, as well as…
Properties of the lunar exosphere during the perseid 2009 meteor shower
A. A. Berezhnoy, K. I. Churyumov, V. V. Kleshchenok +6
Influence of the meteoroid bombardment on properties of the lunar exosphere has been confirmed. Quick increase in the zenith column density of Na atoms above the lunar north pole o…
The ultraluminous GRB 110918A
D. D. Frederiks, K. Hurley, D. S. Svinkin +29
GRB 110918A is the brightest long GRB detected by Konus-WIND during its 19 years of continuous observations and the most luminous GRB ever observed since the beginning of the cosmo…
GRB 130427A: a Nearby Ordinary Monster
A. Maselli, A. Melandri, L. Nava +63
Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars, and are typically found in the distant Universe. Because of its intrinsic lumi…
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift: spectroscopic and temporal properties
P. Romano, V. Mangano, L. Ducci +8
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries with possible counterparts in the high energy gamma rays. The Swift SFXT Project has conducted a sy…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
