The COSPIX mission: focusing on the energetic and obscured Universe

P. Ferrando, A. Goldwurm, P. Laurent +57

Tracing the formation and evolution of all supermassive black holes, including the obscured ones, understanding how black holes influence their surroundings and how matter behaves…

Concurrent X-ray, near-infrared, sub-millimeter, and GeV gamma-ray observations of Sgr A*

G. Trap, A. Goldwurm, K. Dodds-Eden +13

The radiative counterpart of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic center (GC), Sgr A*, is subject to frequent flares visible simultaneously in X-rays and near-infrared (NIR)…

The two states of Sgr A* in the near-infrared: bright episodic flares on top of low-level continuous variability

K. Dodds-Eden, S. Gillessen, T. K. Fritz +11

In this paper we examine properties of the variable source Sgr A* in the near-infrared (NIR) using a very extensive Ks-band data set from NACO/VLT observations taken 2004 to 2009.…

Flares from Sgr A* and their emission mechanism

K. Dodds-Eden, D. Porquet, G. Trap +12

We summarize recent observations and modeling of the brightest Sgr A* flare to be observed simultaneously in (near)-infrared and X-rays to date. Trying to explain the spectral char…

Multi-wavelength observations of 1RXH J173523.7-354013: revealing an unusual bursting neutron star

N. Degenaar, P. G. Jonker, M. A. P. Torres +14

On 2008 May 14, the Burst Alert Telescope aboard the Swift mission triggered on a type-I X-ray burst from the previously unclassified ROSAT object 1RXH J173523.7-354013, establishi…

Simultaneous Multi-Wavelength Observations of Sgr A* during 2007 April 1-11

F. Yusef-Zadeh, H. Bushouse, M. Wardle +18

We report the detection of variable emission from Sgr A* in almost all wavelength bands (i.e. centimeter, millimeter, submillimeter, near-IR and X-rays) during a multi-wavelength o…

Evidence for X-ray synchrotron emission from simultaneous mid-IR to X-ray observations of a strong Sgr A* flare

K. Dodds-Eden, D. Porquet, G. Trap +22

This paper reports measurements of Sgr A* made with NACO in L' -band (3.80 um), Ks-band (2.12 um) and H-band (1.66 um) and with VISIR in N-band (11.88 um) at the ESO VLT, as well a…

X-ray hiccups from SgrA* observed by XMM-Newton. The second brightest flare and three moderate flares caught in half a day

D. Porquet, N. Grosso, P. Predehl +14

[truncated] In Spring 2007, we observed SgrA* with XMM with a total exposure of ~230ks. We have performed timing and spectral analysis of the new X-ray flares detected during this…

Intermediate long X-ray bursts from the ultra-compact binary source SLX 1737-282

M. Falanga, J. Chenevez, A. Cumming +3

Aims: The low persistent X-ray burster source SLX 1737-282 is classified as an ultra-compact binary candidate. We compare the data on SLX 1737-282 with the other similar objects an…
