Swift Observations of Shock Evolution in RS Ophiuchi
M. F. Bode, J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page +11
Our \textit{Swift} observations of RS Oph form an unprecedented X-ray dataset to undertake investigations of both the central source and the interaction of the outburst ejecta with…
The short GRB070707 afterglow and its very faint host galaxy
S. Piranomonte, P. D'Avanzo, S. Covino +18
We present the results from an ESO/VLT campaign aimed at studying the afterglow properties of the short/hard gamma ray burst GRB 070707. Observations were carried out at ten differ…
V723 Cassiopeia still on in X-rays: A bright Super Soft Source 12 years after outburst
J. U-. Ness, G. Schwarz, S. Starrfield +5
We find that the classical nova V723 Cas (1995) is still an active X-ray source more than 12 years after outburst and analyze seven X-ray observations carried out with Swift betwee…
Automatic analysis of Swift-XRT data
P. A. Evans, L. G. Tyler, A. P. Beardmore +1
The Swift spacecraft detects and autonomously observes ~100 Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) per year, ~96% of which are detected by the X-ray telescope (XRT). GRBs are accompanied by optic…
Prompt and afterglow early X-ray phases in the comoving frame. Evidence for Universal properties?
G. Chincarini, A. Moretti, P. Romano +38
We analyze the Swift XRT light curves and spectra of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which the redshift has been measured. The sample consists of seven GRBs. The soft X-ray light c…
YY Draconis and V709 Cassiopeiae: two intermediate polars with weak magnetic fields
A. J. Norton, A. P. Beardmore, Alasdair Allan +1
We present data from long ROSAT HRI observations of the intermediate polars YY Dra and V709 Cas which show that V709 Cas, like YY Dra, exhibits a double-peaked X-ray pulse profile.…
