Swift follow-up observations of unclassified ASCA sources
N. Degenaar, R. L. C. Starling, P. A. Evans +11
We present Swift follow-up observations of a sample of 35 unclassified faint X-ray sources drawn from the ASCA Galactic centre and plane surveys. Our short pointed XRT observations…
Panchromatic observations of the textbook GRB 110205A: constraining physical mechanisms of prompt emission and afterglow
W. Zheng, R. F. Shen, T. Sakamoto +56
We present a comprehensive analysis of a bright, long duration (T90 ~ 257 s) GRB 110205A at redshift z= 2.22. The optical prompt emission was detected by Swift/UVOT, ROTSE-IIIb and…
Swift X-Ray Observations of Classical Novae. II. The Super Soft Source sample
Greg J. Schwarz, Jan-Uwe Ness, J. P. Osborne +9
The Swift GRB satellite is an excellent facility for studying novae. Its rapid response time and sensitive X-ray detector provides an unparalleled opportunity to investigate the pr…
Recovering Swift-XRT energy resolution through CCD charge trap mapping
C. Pagani, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +13
The X-ray telescope on board the Swift satellite for gamma-ray burst astronomy has been exposed to the radiation of the space environment since launch in November 2004. Radiation c…
Swift observations of the March 2011 outburst of the cataclysmic variable NSV 1436: a probable dwarf nova (Research Note)
J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page, A. A. Henden +7
The March 2011 outburst of the poorly-studied cataclysmic variable NSV 1436 offered an opportunity to decide between dwarf nova and recurrent nova classifications. We use seven dai…
Swift observations of the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi: III. X-ray spectral modelling
N. M. H. Vaytet, T. J. O'Brien, K. L. Page +3
Following the Swift X-ray observations of the 2006 outburst of the recurrent nova RS Ophiuchi, we developed hydrodynamical models of mass ejection from which the forward shock velo…
