The EXTraS Project: Exploring the X-ray transient and variable sky

A. De Luca, R. Salvaterra, A. Belfiore +29

Temporal variability in flux and spectral shape is ubiquitous in the X-ray sky and carries crucial information about the nature and emission physics of the sources. The EPIC instru…

A Multi-wavelength search for Black Widows and Redbacks counterparts of candidate -ray millisecond pulsars

C. Braglia, R. P. Mignani, A. Belfiore +6

The wealth of detections of millisecond pulsars (MSPs) in -rays by {\em Fermi} has spurred searches for these objects among the several unidentified -ray sources. Interesting…

A search for optical and near-infrared counterparts of the compact binary merger GW190814

A. L. Thakur, S. Dichiara, E. Troja +29

We report on our observing campaign of the compact binary merger GW190814, detected by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors on August 14th, 2019. This signal has the best…

Observation of inverse Compton emission from a long -ray burst

V. A. Acciari, S. Ansoldi, L. A. Antonelli +301

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from ultra-relativistic jets launched from the collapsing cores of dying massive stars. They are characterised by an initial phase o…

A Supernova Candidate at z=0.092 in XMM-Newton Archival Data

G. Novara, P. Esposito, A. Tiengo +14

During a search for X-ray transients in the XMM-Newton archive within the EXTraS project, we discovered a new X-ray source that is detected only during a ~5 min interval of a ~21 h…

Diffuse X-ray emission around an ultraluminous X-ray pulsar

Andrea Belfiore, Paolo Esposito, Fabio Pintore +17

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are extragalactic X-ray emitters located off-center of their host galaxy and with a luminosity in excess of a few ,…
