Swift and NuSTAR observations of GW170817: detection of a blue kilonova

P. A. Evans, S. B. Cenko, J. A. Kennea +56

With the first direct detection of merging black holes in 2015, the era of gravitational wave (GW) astrophysics began. A complete picture of compact object mergers, however, requir…

Large Binocular Telescope observations of PSR J2043+2740

V. Testa, R. P. Mignani, N. Rea +5

We present the results of deep optical imaging of the radio/-ray pulsar PSR J2043+2740, obtained with the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT). With a characteristic age of 1.2 Myr,…

Swift monitoring of NGC 4151: Evidence for a Second X-ray/UV Reprocessing

R. Edelson, J. Gelbord, E. Cackett +41

Swift monitoring of NGC 4151 with ~6 hr sampling over a total of 69 days in early 2016 is used to construct light curves covering five bands in the X-rays (0.3-50 keV) and six in t…

Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project. VII. Understanding the UV anomaly in NGC 5548 with X-Ray Spectroscopy

S. Mathur, A. Gupta, K. Page +147

During the Space Telescope and Optical Reverberation Mapping Project (STORM) observations of NGC 5548, the continuum and emission-line variability became de-correlated during the s…

A multi-wavelength investigation of candidate milli-second pulsars in unassociated -ray sources

D. Salvetti, R. P. Mignani, A. De Luca +7

About one third of the 3033 -ray sources in the Third Fermi-LAT Gamma-ray Source Catalogue (3FGL) are unidentified and do not have even a tentative association with a known obje…
