The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance
David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23
We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…
Line Searches in Swift X-ray Spectra
C. P. Hurkett, S. Vaughan, J. P. Osborne +14
Prior to the launch of the Swift mission several X-ray line detections were reported in Gamma Ray Burst afterglow spectra. To date, these pre-Swift era results have not been conclu…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera during 2006-2007
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +26
The Swift X-ray Telescope focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 135 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV as measured before launch. We describe t…
Why do some intermediate polars show soft X-ray emission? A survey of XMM-Newton spectra
P. A. Evans, Coel Hellier
We make a systematic analysis of the XMM-Newton X-ray spectra of intermediate polars (IPs) and find that, contrary to the traditional picture, most show a soft blackbody component.…
