A new X-ray nova MAXI J1910-057 (= Swift J1910.2-0546) and mass-accretion inflow

Satoshi Nakahira, Hitoshi Negoro, Megumi Shidatsu +5

We report on a long-term monitoring of a newly discovered X-ray nova, MAXI J1910-057 (= Swift J1910.2-0546), by MAXI and Swift. The new X-ray transient was first detected on 2012 M…

MAXI observations of GRBs

Motoko Serino, Takanori Sakamoto, Nobuyuki Kawai +40

Monitor of all-sky image (MAXI) Gas Slit Camera (GSC) detects gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) including the bursts with soft spectra, such as X-ray flashes (XRFs). MAXI/GSC is sensitive to…

Sudden End of X-Ray Outbursts around Periastron of Circinus X-1 Observed with MAXI

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Masaru Matsuoka +5

MAXI/GSC observed 21 outbursts from Circinus X-1 between 2009 August and 2013 December. Although 14 outbursts showed ordinary gradual decays, in 7 outbursts we found sudden luminos…

GRB 130925A: an ultra-long Gamma Ray Burst with a dust-echo afterglow, and implications for the origin of the ultra-long GRBs

P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +24

GRB 130925A was an unusual GRB, consisting of 3 distinct episodes of high-energy emission spanning 20 ks, making it a member of the proposed category of `ultra-long' bursts.…
