Swift J0513.4-6547 = LXP 27.2 : a new Be/X-ray binary system in the Large Magellanic Cloud
M. J. Coe, M. Finger, E. S. Bartlett +1
An exceptionally bright new X-ray source in the Large Magellanic Cloud was discovered by the Swift/BAT telescope on MJD 54923 (2 April 2009), and shown to have a pulse period of 27…
Discovery of SXP265, a Be/X-ray binary pulsar in the Wing of the Small Magellanic Cloud
R. Sturm, F. Haberl, G. Vasilopoulos +5
We identify a new candidate for a Be/X-ray binary in the XMM-Newton slew survey and archival Swift observations that is located in the transition region of the Wing of the Small Ma…
XMM-Newton observation of the highly magnetised accreting pulsar Swift J045106.8-694803: Evidence of a hot thermal excess
E. S. Bartlett, M. J. Coe, W. C. G. Ho
Several persistent, low luminosity (L_X 10^{34} erg s^{-1}), long spin period (P>100 s) High Mass X-ray Binaries have been reported with blackbody components with temperatures >1 k…
Swift J053041.9-665426, a new Be/X-ray binary pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud
G. Vasilopoulos, P. Maggi, F. Haberl +4
We observed the newly discovered X-ray source Swift J053041.9-665426 in the X-ray and optical regime to confirm its proposed nature as a high mass X-ray binary. We obtained XMM-New…
