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…
Swift XRT Observations of the Breaking X-ray Afterglow of GRB 050318
M. Perri, P. Giommi, M. Capalbi +26
We report the results of Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) observations of GRB 050318. This event triggered the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) aboard Swift and was followed-up with XRT and…
The X-ray Properties of M101 ULX-1 = CXOKM101 J140332.74+542102
K. Mukai, M. Still, R. H. D. Corbet +2
We report our analysis of X-ray data on M101 ULX-1, concentrating on high state Chandra and XMM-Newton observations. We find that the high state of M101 ULX-1 may have a preferred…
LO Peg in 1998: Starspot patterns and differential rotation
J. R. Barnes, A. Collier Cameron, T. A. Lister +2
We present Doppler images of the young K5V - K7V rapid rotator LO Peg from seven nights of continuous spectroscopy obtained in 1998 from July 04 to July 10. The images reveal the p…
A XMM-Newton observation of Nova LMC 1995, a bright supersoft X-ray source
Marina Orio, Wouter Hartmann, Martin Still +1
Nova LMC 1995, previously detected during 1995-1998 with ROSAT, was observed again as a luminous supersoft X-ray source with XMM-Newton in December of 2000. This nova offers the po…
