Measuring the Soft X-Ray Quantum Efficiency of a Hybrid CMOS Detector
Joseph M. Colosimo, Abraham D. Falcone, Mitchell Wages +7
Next-generation X-ray observatories, such as the Lynx X-ray Observatory Mission Concept or other similar concepts in the coming decade, will require detectors with high quantum eff…
GRB171205A/SN2017iuk: A local low-luminosity gamma-ray burst
V. D'Elia, S. Campana, A. D'Aì +19
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) occurring in the local Universe constitute an interesting sub-class of the GRB family, since their luminosity is on average lower than that of their cosmolo…
Evidence for the magnetar nature of 1E 161348-5055 in RCW 103
A. D'Aì, P. A. Evans, D. N. Burrows +25
We report on the detection of a bright, short, structured X-ray burst coming from the supernova remnant RCW 103 on 2016 June 22 caught by the Swift/BAT monitor, and on the follow-u…
Optimisation of the Swift X-ray follow-up of Advanced LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave triggers in 2015--16
P. A. Evans, J. P. Osborne, J. A. Kennea +7
One of the most exciting near-term prospects in physics is the potential discovery of gravitational waves by the advanced LIGO and Virgo detectors. To maximise both the confidence…
The Swift Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients Project: a review, new results, and future perspectives
P. Romano, V. Mangano, L. Ducci +9
We present a review of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXT) Project, a systematic investigation of the properties of SFXTs with a strategy that combines Swift monitoring pro…
Proper Motions of H-alpha filaments in the Supernova Remnant RCW 86
E. A. Helder, J. Vink, A. Bamba +4
We present a proper motion study of the eastern shock-region of the supernova remnant RCW 86 (MSH 14-63, G315.4-2.3), based on optical observations carried out with VLT/FORS2 in 20…
