Comptonization in ultra-strong magnetic fields: numerical solution of the radiative transfer problem
C. Ceccobello, R. Farinelli, L. Titarchuk
We consider the radiative transfer problem in a plane-parallel slab of thermal electrons in the presence of an overcritical magnetic field. Under such conditions, the magnetic fiel…
Scientific prospects in soft gamma-ray astronomy enabled by the LAUE project
F. Frontera, E. Virgilli, V. Valsan +24
This paper summarizes the development of a successful project, LAUE, supported by the Italian Space Agency (ASI) and devoted to the development of long focal length (up to 100 m) L…
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…
RX J0440.9+4431: a persistent Be/X-ray binary in outburst
C. Ferrigno, R. Farinelli, E. Bozzo +3
The persistent Be/X-ray binary RX J0440.9+4431 flared in 2010 and 2011 and has been followed by various X-ray facilities Swift, RXTE, XMM-Newton, and INTEGRAL. We studied the sourc…
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift: spectroscopic and temporal properties
P. Romano, V. Mangano, L. Ducci +8
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are a class of high-mass X-ray binaries with possible counterparts in the high energy gamma rays. The Swift SFXT Project has conducted a sy…
Swift observations of two supergiant fast X-ray transient prototypes in outburst
R. Farinelli, P. Romano, V. Mangano +6
We report on the results from observations of the most recent outbursts of XTE J1739-302 and IGR J17544-2619, which are considered to be the prototypes of the supergiant fast X-ray…
