Multiple flaring activity in the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 observed with Swift
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +11
IGR J08408-4503 is a supergiant fast X-ray transient discovered in 2006 with a confirmed association with a O8.5Ib(f) supergiant star, HD 74194. We report on the analysis of two ou…
Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. III. Outbursts of the prototypical SFXTs IGR J17544-2619 and XTE J1739-302
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, V. Mangano +7
IGR J17544-2619 and XTE J1739-302 are considered the prototypical sources of the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries, the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs).These sources w…
Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Rise to the outburst in IGR J16479-4514
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, V. Mangano +6
IGR J16479-4514 is a Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT), a new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries, whose number is rapidly growing thanks to the observations of the Galactic pla…
Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. I. Behavior outside outbursts
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, V. Mangano +7
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs) are a new class of HMXBs discovered thanks to the monitoring of the Galactic plane performed with the INTEGRAL satellite in the last 5 year…
X-Ray Eclipse Time Delays in 4U2129+47
E. Bozzo, M. Falanga, A. Papitto +8
4U 2129+47 was discovered in the early 80's and classified as an accretion disk corona source due to its broad and partial X-ray eclipses. The 5.24 hr binary orbital period was inf…
The exceptionally extended flaring activity in the X-ray afterglow of GRB 050730 observed with Swift and XMM-Newton
M. Perri, D. Guetta, L. A. Antonelli +27
We present the results of a detailed spectral and temporal analysis of Swift and XMM-Newton observations of the high redshift (z=3.969) GRB 050730. The X-ray afterglow of GRB 05073…
Swift Observations of GRB 051109B
E. Troja, G. Cusumano, V. LaParola +2
We present Swift observations of GRB 051109B, a soft long burst triggered by the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT). The soft photon index of the prompt emission suggest it is a X-ray Fla…
The early X-ray emission from GRBs
P. T. O'Brien, R. Willingale, J. Osborne +29
We present observations of the early X-ray emission for a sample of 40 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained using the Swift satellite for which the narrow-field instruments were pointe…
The Giant X-ray Flare of GRB 050502B: Evidence for Late-Time Internal Engine Activity
A. D. Falcone, D. N. Burrows, D. Lazzati +28
Until recently, X-ray flares during the afterglow of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) were a rarely detected phenomenon, thus their nature is unclear. During the afterglow of GRB 050502B, t…
Swift observations of the prompt X-ray emission and afterglow from GRB050126 and GRB050219A
M. R. Goad
We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts GRB050126 and GRB050219A as observed by Swift. The X-ray light-curves o…
Swift observations of GRB050128: the early X-ray afterglow
S. Campana, L. A. Antonelli, G. Chincarini +33
Swift discovered GRB050128 with the Burst Alert Telescope and promptly pointed its narrow field instruments to monitor the afterglow. X-ray observations started 108 s after the tri…
