The 2008 October Swift detection of X-ray bursts/outburst from the transient SGR-like AXP 1E 1547.0-5408

G. L. Israel, P. Esposito, N. Rea +17

We report on the detailed study of the 2008 October outburst from the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 1547.0-5408 discovered through the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) detection…

The 2008 May burst activation of SGR 1627-41

P. Esposito, G. L. Israel, S. Zane +16

In May 2008 the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41 resumed its bursting activity after nearly a decade of quiescence. After detection of a bright burst, Swift pointed its X-ray te…

Detectability of gamma-ray emission from classical novae with Swift/BAT

F. Senziani, G. K. Skinner, P. Jean +1

Classical novae are expected to emit gamma rays during their explosions. The most important contribution to the early gamma-ray emission comes from the annihilation with electrons…

Hard X-ray emission of the microquasar GRO J1655-40 during the rise of its 2005 outburst

A. Joinet, E. Kalemci, F. Senziani

We present the analysis of the high energy emission of the Galactic black hole GRO J1655-40 at the beginning of its 2005 outburst. The data from 458 ks of INTEGRAL observations, sp…

Using GRO J1655-40 to test Swift/BAT as a monitor for bright hard X-ray sources

F. Senziani, G. Novara, A. De Luca +3

While waiting for new gamma-ray burst detections, the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board Swift covers each day ~50% of the sky in the hard X-ray band (``Survey data''). The large…
