The Palermo Swift-BAT hard X-ray catalogue III. Results after 54 months of sky survey
G. Cusumano, V. La Parola, A. Segreto +10
We present the Second Palermo Swift-BAT hard X-ray catalogue obtained by analysing data acquired in the first 54 months of the Swift mission. Using our software dedicated to the an…
Two years of monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift
P. Romano, V. La Parola, S. Vercellone +10
We present two years of intense Swift monitoring of three SFXTs, IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619 (since October 2007). Out-of-outburst intensity-based X-ray (0.…
Discovery of a new Soft Gamma Repeater, SGR J1833-0832
E. Gogus, G. Cusumano, A. J. Levan +20
On 2010 March 19, the Swift/Burst Alert Telescope triggered on a short burst with temporal and spectral characteristics similar to those of Soft Gamma Repeater (SGR) bursts. The so…
Supergiant fast X-ray transients: the Swift monitoring program
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +10
For the first time, Swift is giving us the opportunity to study supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXTs) throughout all phases of their life: outbursts, intermediate level, and qui…
The complex behaviour of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in the rho class observed with BeppoSAX. I: Timing analysis
E. Massaro, G. Ventura, F. Massa +5
GRS 1915+105 was observed by BeppoSAX for about 10 days in October 2000. For about 80% of the time, the source was in the variability class , characterised by a series of recurr…
The Swift SFXT monitoring campaign: the IGR J16479-4514 outburst in 2009
V. La Parola, L. Ducci, P. Romano +8
IGR J16479-4514 is a member of the Supergiant Fast X-ray transient (SFXT) class. We present the light curves of its latest outburst, which occurred on January 29, 2009. During this…
New results with Swift on Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, L. Ducci +11
We report here on the most recent results obtained on a new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries, the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. Since October 2007, we have been performing a m…
The Swift view of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, L. Ducci +9
We report here on the recent results of a monitoring campaign we have been carrying out with Swift/XRT on a sample of four Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. The main goal of this l…
