Early results from the SVOM Observatory Science program

A. Coleiro, L. Tao, F. Cangemi +44

We present the organisation and early results from the Observatory Science program of the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM), based on data collect…

The GRB joint scientific analysis pipeline of the ECLAIRs and GRM instruments on board SVOM

F. Piron, F. Daigne, T. Maiolino +35

The study of the prompt high-energy emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with SVOM relies on the observations performed by ECLAIRs (4-150 keV) and the Gamma-Ray Monitor (GRM, 0.015-…

ECLAIRs: the SVOM high-energy transient trigger camera

O. Godet, J. -L. Atteia, S. Schanne +51

The core instrument of the SVOM Gamma-ray burst mission launched in June 2024 is the 4-150 keV 2-D coded mask camera ECLAIRs responsible for the autonomous trigger and localization…

SVOM GRB 250314A at z 7.3: an exploding star in the era of reionization

B. Cordier, J. Y. Wei, N. R. Tanvir +103

Most long Gamma-ray bursts originate from a rare type of massive stellar explosion. Their afterglows, while rapidly fading, can be initially extremely luminous at optical/near-infr…

A high-performance custom photodetection system to probe the light yield enhancement in oriented crystals

M. Soldani, L. Bandiera, L. Bomben +16

Scintillating homogeneous detectors represent the state of the art in electromagnetic calorimetry. Moreover, the currently neglected crystalline nature of the most common inorganic…

Strong enhancement of electromagnetic shower development induced by high-energy photons in a thick oriented tungsten crystal

M. Soldani, L. Bandiera, M. Moulson +24

We have observed a significant enhancement in the energy deposition by -- photons in a thick tungsten crystal oriented along its $\langle 111…

Comptonization as an origin of the continuum in Intermediate Polars

T. Maiolino, L. Titarchuk, W. Wang +2

In this paper we test if the 0.3 - 15 keV XMM-Newton EPIC pn spectral continuum of IPs can be described by the thermal Comptonization compTT model. We used publicly observat…

Testing Comptonization as the origin of the continuum in nonmagnetic Cataclysmic Variables. The photon index of X-ray emission

T. Maiolino, L. Titarchuk, F. D'Amico +4

X-ray spectra of nonmagnetic cataclysmic variables (nmCVs) in the ~ 0.315 keV energy band have been described either by one or several optically thin thermal plasma components,…

Red-skewed K iron lines in GX 13+1

T. Maiolino, P. Laurent, L. Titarchuk +2

Broad, asymmetric, and red-skewed Fe Kalpha emission lines have been observed in the spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries hosting neutron stars (NSs) as a compact object. Because mor…

KLEVER: An experiment to measure BR() at the CERN SPS

F. Ambrosino, R. Ammendola, A. Antonelli +75

Precise measurements of the branching ratios for the flavor-changing neutral current decays can provide unique constraints on CKM unitarity and, potentially, evidence…

Confirming the thermal Comptonization model for black hole X-ray emission in the low-hard state

M. Castro, F. D'Amico, J. Braga +3

Hard X-ray spectra of black hole binaries in the low/hard state are well modeled by thermal Comptonization of soft seed photons by a corona-type region with \thinspace…

Comptonization in 1E 1740.7-2942 spectra from 2 to 200 keV

Manuel Castro, Taís Maiolino, Flavio D'Amico +3

Studies of the long-term spectral variations have been used to constrain the emission processes of black hole candidates. However, a common scenario which is able to explain the em…

INTEGRAL observations of Sco X-1: evidence for Comptonization up to 200 keV

T. Maiolino, F. D'Amico, J. Braga

We have analyzed a long-term database for Sco X-1 obtained with the telescope IBIS onboard the INTEGRAL satellite in order to study the hard X-ray behavior of Sco X-1 from 20 up to…
