Optical and Infrared Observations of the X-ray source 1WGA J1713.43949 in the G347.3-0.5 SNR
R. P. Mignani, S. Zaggia, A. De Luca +3
X-ray observations unveiled the existence of enigmatic point-like sources at the centre of young supernova remnants (SNRs). These sources, dubbed Central Compact Objects (CCOs), ar…
VLT observations of Compact Central Objects
R. P. Mignani, S. Zaggia, D. Dobrzycka +4
We present the first results of our VLT observation campaign of the Central Compact Objects (CCOs) in SNRs RX J085201.4-461753 (Vela Jr), 1E 1648-5051 (RCW 103) and RX J171328.4-39…
VLT observations of the Central Compact Object in the Vela Jr. supernova remnant
R. P. Mignani, A. De Luca, S. Zaggia +4
X-ray observations have unveiled the existence of enigmatic point-like sources at the center of young (a few kyrs) supernova remnants. These sources, known as Central Compact Objec…
Family ties: abundances in Terzan 7, a Sgr dSph globular cluster
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, G. Marconi +2
We study the chemical composition of 5 giant stars in the globular cluster Terzan 7 associated with the Sagittarius dwarf spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph), based on high resolution UVE…
UVES observations of the Canis Major overdensity
L. Sbordone, P. Bonifacio, G. Marconi +2
We present the first detailed chemical abundances for three giant stars which are candidate members of the Canis Major overdensity, obtained by using FLAMES-UVES at VLT. The stars,…
Search for the Optical Counterpart of the Vela Pulsar X-ray Nebula
R. P. Mignani, A. De Luca, O. Kargaltsev +4
Observations of the Vela pulsar region with the Chandra X-ray observatory have revealed the fine structure of its synchrotron pulsar-wind nebula (PWN), which showed an overall simi…
