Swift Follow-up Observations of MAXI Discovered Galactic Transients
J. A. Kennea, P. Romano, V. Mangano +5
We describe the results of the first year of a program to localize new Galactic Transient sources discovered by MAXI with NASA's Swift mission. Swift is ideally suited for follow-u…
The Super-Soft X-ray Phase of Nova RS Ophiuchi 2006
J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page, A. P. Beardmore +13
Swift X-ray observations of the ~60 day super-soft phase of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi 2006 show the progress of nuclear burning on the white dwarf in exquisite detail. First s…
The phases of X-ray emission of RS Oph
J. -U. Ness, S. Starrfield, K. L. Page +3
The recurrent symbiotic nova RS Oph reoccurred after 21 years on 12 February 2006. In contrast to the 1985 outburst, much denser coverage with X-ray observations was achieved. Swif…
Swift X-ray and UV monitoring of the Classical Nova V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007)
J. -U. Ness, J. J. Drake, A. P. Beardmore +18
We describe the highly variable X-ray and UV emission of V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007), observed by Swift between 1 and 422 days after outburst. Initially bright only in the UV, V458 Vu…
