An accreting pulsar with extreme properties drives an ultraluminous x-ray source in NGC 5907
G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore, L. Stella +20
Ultraluminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in nearby galaxies shine brighter than any X-ray source in our Galaxy. ULXs are usually modeled as stellar-mass black holes (BHs) accreting at ve…
Searching for the optical counterparts of two young gamma-ray pulsars
R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, M. Marelli +7
We report on the first deep optical observations of two -ray pulsars, both among the very first discovered by the {\em Fermi} Gamma-ray Space Telescope. The two pulsars are the…
Blazar Flaring Patterns (B-FlaP): Classifying Blazar Candidates of Uncertain type in the third Fermi-LAT catalog by Artificial Neural Networks
G. Chiaro, D. Salvetti, G. La Mura +3
The Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) is currently the most important facility for investigating the GeV -ray sky. With Fermi LAT more than three thousand -ray sources have be…
A candidate optical counterpart to the middle-aged gamma-ray pulsar PSR J1741-2054
R. P. Mignani, V. Testa, M. Marelli +7
We carried out deep optical observations of the middle-aged -ray pulsar PSR J1741-2054 with the Very Large Telescope (VLT). We identified two objects, of magnitudes $m_v=23.10\p…
Classifying Unidentified Gamma-ray Sources
David Salvetti
During its first 2 years of mission the Fermi-LAT instrument discovered more than 1,800 gamma-ray sources in the 100 MeV to 100 GeV range. Despite the application of advanced techn…
