Gamma Ray Bursts Flares detected and observed by the Swift Satellite
Guido Chincarini, Alberto Moretti, Patrizia Romano +11
The detection of flares with the Swift satellite triggered a lot of bservational and theoretical interest in these phenomena. As a consequence a large analysis effort started withi…
Swift XRT and UVOT deep observations of the high energy peaked BL Lac object PKS 0548-322 close to its brightest state
M. Perri, A. Maselli, P. Giommi +11
We present the results of a spectral analysis of 5 Swift XRT and UVOT observations of the BL Lac object PKS 0548-322 carried out over the period April-June 2005. The X-ray flux of…
Nonthermal Hard X-ray Emission and Iron Kalpha Emission from a Superflare on II Pegasi
R. A. Osten, S. Drake, J. Tueller +4
We report on an X-ray flare detected on the active binary system II~Pegasi with the Swift telescope. The trigger had a 10-200 keV luminosity of 2.2 erg s-- a…
Swift and infra-red observations of the blazar 3C~454.3 during the giant X-ray flare of May 2005
P. Giommi, A. J. Blustin, M. Capalbi +16
We present the results of a series of Swift and quasi simultaneous ground-based infra-red observations of the blazar 3C 454.3 carried out in April-May 2005 when the source was 10 t…
The X-ray afterglow of the short gamma ray burst 050724
S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri, D. Lazzati +23
Short duration (<2 s) Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been a mystery since their discovery. Until May 2005 very little was known about short GRBs, but this situation has changed rapid…
Swift XRT Observations of the Afterglow of XRF 050416A
Vanessa Mangano, Valentina La Parola, Giancarlo Cusumano +20
Swift discovered XRF 050416A with the BAT and began observing it with its narrow field instruments only 64.5 s after the burst onset. Its very soft spectrum classifies this event a…
