INTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud
V. A. McBride, M. J. Coe, A. J. Bird +10
The first INTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (carried out in 2003) are reported in which two sources are clearly detected. The first source, SMC X-1, shows a hard…
Probing the Pulsar Wind Nebula of PSR B0355+54
Katherine E. McGowan, W. Tom Vestrand, Jamie A. Kennea +3
We present XMM-Newton and Chandra X-ray observations of the middle-aged radio pulsar PSR B0355+54. Our X-ray observations reveal emission not only from the pulsar itself, but also…
Prompt optical observations of GRB050319 with the Swift UVOT
K. O. Mason, A. J. Blustin, P. Boyd +18
The UVOT telescope on the Swift observatory has detected optical afterglow emission from GRB 050319. The flux declines with a power law slope of alpha = -0.57 between the start of…
XMM-Newton Observations of PSR B1706-44
Katherine E. McGowan, Silvia Zane, Mark Cropper +5
We report on the XMM-Newton observations of the young, 102 ms pulsar PSR B1706-44. We have found that both a blackbody plus power-law and a magnetized atmospheric model plus power-…
On the Stability of the 421-day Periodicity in A0538-66
Katherine E. McGowan, Phil A. Charles
In this paper we analyse 70 years of archival Harvard and Schmidt plate data of the 16.6 d Be X-ray binary A0538-66 in order to search for the presence of the long-term period of 4…
MACHO Photometry of Two LMC Be X-ray Transients, EXO 0531-66 and H 0544-665
K. E. McGowan, P. A. Charles
Long-term variations are well-known in Be X-ray binaries, and are attributed to non-orbital changes in the structure of the Be circumstellar (equatorial) disc. However, the timesca…
