Confirmation of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient nature of AX J1841.0-0536 from Swift outburst observations
P. Romano, V. Mangano, G. Cusumano +8
Swift observed an outburst from the supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXT) AX J1841.0-0536 on 2010 June 5, and followed it with XRT for 11 days. The X-ray light curve shows an ini…
Properties of G-band Bright Points derived from IBIS observations
S. Criscuoli, D. Del Moro, F. Giorgi +5
We have investigated properties of photospheric Bright Points (BPs) observed in an Active Region during its decay phase and in a quiet Sun region. We have analyzed two sets of phot…
Swift: the science across the rainbow. Mission Overview and Highlights of Results
P. Romano
I present an overview of the Swift mission, which was launched on November 20, 2004 to discover and observe the most energetic of astrophysical phenomena, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs).…
Another look at the BL Lacertae flux and spectral variability
C. M. Raiteri, M. Villata, L. Bruschini +52
The GLAST-AGILE Support Program (GASP) of the Whole Earth Blazar Telescope (WEBT) monitored BL Lacertae in 2008-2009 at radio, near-IR, and optical frequencies. During this period,…
Two years of monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift
P. Romano, V. La Parola, S. Vercellone +10
We present two years of intense Swift monitoring of three SFXTs, IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619 (since October 2007). Out-of-outburst intensity-based X-ray (0.…
Design Concepts for the Cherenkov Telescope Array
The CTA Consortium
Ground-based gamma-ray astronomy has had a major breakthrough with the impressive results obtained using systems of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. Ground-based gamma-ray…
