Swift/UVOT discovery of Swift J221951-484240: a UV luminous ambiguous nuclear transient
S. R. Oates, N. P. M. Kuin, M. Nicholl +57
We report the discovery of Swift J221951-484240 (hereafter: J221951), a luminous slow-evolving blue transient that was detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory Ultra-violet/O…
Swift/UVOT follow-up of Gravitational Wave Alerts in the O3 era
S. R. Oates, F. E. Marshall, A. A. Breeveld +41
In this paper, we report on the observational performance of the Swift Ultra-violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) in response to the Gravitational Wave alerts announced by the Advanced…
Happy Birthday Swift: Ultra-long GRB141121A and its broad-band Afterglow
A. Cucchiara, P. Veres, A. Corsi +27
We present our extensive observational campaign on the Swift-discovered GRB141121A, al- most ten years after its launch. Our observations covers radio through X-rays, and extends f…
Using ISS Telescopes for Electromagnetic Follow-up of Gravitational Wave Detections of NS-NS and NS-BH Mergers
Jordan Camp, Scott D. Barthelmy, Lindy Blackburn +6
The International Space Station offers a unique platform for rapid and inexpensive deployment of space telescopes. A scientific opportunity of great potential later this decade is…
GRB 061121: Broadband spectral evolution through the prompt and afterglow phases of a bright burst
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +33
Swift triggered on a precursor to the main burst of GRB 061121 (z=1.314), allowing observations to be made from the optical to gamma-ray bands. Many other telescopes, including Kon…
GRB 060714: No Clear Dividing Line Between Prompt Emission and X-ray Flares
H. A. Krimm, J. Granot, F. Marshal +6
The long gamma-ray burst GRB 060714 was observed to exhibit a series of five X-ray flares beginning ~70 s after the burst trigger T0 and continuing until T0 + ~200 s. The first two…
Swift observations of GRB 070110: an extraordinary X-ray afterglow powered by the central engine
E. Troja, G. Cusumano, P. O'Brien +22
We present a detailed analysis of Swift multi-wavelength observations of GRB 070110 and its remarkable afterglow. The early X-ray light curve, interpreted as the tail of the prompt…
Predicting the Starquakes in PSR J0537-6910
John Middleditch, Francis E. Marshall, Q. Daniel Wang +2
We report on more than 7 years of monitoring of PSR J0537-6910, the 16 ms pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud, using data acquired with the RXTE. During this campaign the pulsar e…
