Constraints on the dust extinction law of the Galaxy with Swift/UVOT, Gaia and 2MASS
I. Ferreras, M. Tress, G. Bruzual +6
We explore variations of the dust extinction law of the Milky Way by selecting stars from the Swift/UVOT Serendipitous Source Catalogue, cross-matched with Gaia DR2 and 2MASS to pr…
The Swift UVOT grism calibration and example spectra
Paul Kuin, Alice Breeveld, Mat Page
The calibration of the two UVOT grisms which provide slitless spectroscopy in the 170-500 nm (UV grism) and 295-660 nm (visible grism) ranges has been completed. The UV grism has a…
A panchromatic analysis of starburst galaxy M82: Probing the dust properties
S. Hutton, I. Ferreras, K. Wu +5
(Abridged) We combine NUV, optical and IR imaging of the nearby starburst galaxy M82 to explore the properties of the dust both in the interstellar medium of the galaxy and the dus…
The optical rebrightening of GRB100814A: an interplay of forward and reverse shocks?
Massimiliano De Pasquale, N. P. M. Kuin, S. Oates +36
We present a wide dataset of gamma-ray, X-ray, UVOIR, and radio observations of the Swift GRB100814A. At the end of the slow decline phase of the X-ray and optical afterglow, this…
GRB 130427A: a Nearby Ordinary Monster
A. Maselli, A. Melandri, L. Nava +63
Long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are an extremely rare outcome of the collapse of massive stars, and are typically found in the distant Universe. Because of its intrinsic lumi…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
