Multiwavelength survey of a sample of flat-spectrum radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies
L. Foschini, M. Berton, A. Caccianiga +27
We report on a multiwavelength survey of a sample of 42 flat-spectrum radio-loud narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies (RLNLS1s). This is the largest known sample of this type of active g…
Signature of the presence of a third body orbiting around XB 1916-053
R. Iaria, T. Di Salvo, A. F. Gambino +9
The ultra-compact dipping source \object{XB 1916-053} has an orbital period of close to 50 min and a companion star with a very low mass (less than 0.1 M). The orbital pe…
Swift J1734.5-3027: a new long type-I X-ray bursting source
E. Bozzo, P. Romano, M. Falanga +3
Swift J1734.5-3027 is a hard X-ray transient discovered by Swift while undergoing an outburst in September 2013. Archival observations showed that this source underwent a previous…
Giant outburst from the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J17544-2619: accretion from a transient disc?
P. Romano, E. Bozzo, V. Mangano +7
Supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) are high mass X-ray binaries associated with OB supergiant companions and characterised by an X-ray flaring behaviour whose dynamical range…
Probing stellar winds and accretion physics in high-mass X-ray binaries and ultra-luminous X-ray sources with LOFT
M. Orlandini, V. Doroshenko, L. Zampieri +28
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
Probing the emission physics and weak/soft population of Gamma-Ray Bursts with LOFT
L. Amati, G. Stratta, J. -L. Atteia +36
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
