The spectroscopic evolution of the symbiotic-like recurrent nova V407 Cygni during its 2010 outburst. I. The shock and its evolution
S. N. Shore, G. M. Wahlgren, T. Augusteijn +7
On 2010 Mar 10, V407 Cyg was discovered in outburst, eventually reaching V< 8 and detected by Fermi. Using medium and high resolution ground-based optical spectra, visual and Swift…
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…
Cross-calibration of the X-ray Instruments onboard the Chandra, INTEGRAL, RXTE, Suzaku, Swift, and XMM-Newton Observatories using G21.5-0.9
Masahiro Tsujimoto, Matteo Guainazzi, Paul P. Plucinsky +7
Context. The Crab nebula has been used as a celestial calibration source of the X-ray flux and spectral shape for many years by X-ray astronomy missions. However, the object is oft…
The unusual X-ray emission of the short Swift GRB 090515: Evidence for the formation of a magnetar?
A. Rowlinson, P. T. O'Brien, N. R. Tanvir +16
The majority of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to originate from the merger of compact binary systems collapsing directly to form a black hole. However, it has been pro…
The Swift Burst Analyser I: BAT and XRT spectral and flux evolution of Gamma Ray Bursts
P. A. Evans, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +9
Context: Gamma Ray Burst models predict the broadband spectral evolution and the temporal evolution of the energy flux. In contrast, standard data analysis tools and data repositor…
