Measurement of the charged pion mass using a low-density target of light atoms
M Trassinelli, D. F. Anagnostopoulos, G Borchert +10
We present a new evaluation of the negatively charged pion mass based on the simultaneous spec-troscopy of pionic nitrogen and muonic oxygen transitions using a gaseous target comp…
Measurement of the charged pion mass using X-ray spectroscopy of exotic atoms
M Trassinelli, D. F. Anagnostopoulos, G. Borchert +10
The transitions in pionic nitrogen and muonic oxygen were measured simultaneously by using a gaseous nitrogen-oxygen mixture at 1.4\,bar. Due to the precise knowledge of th…
Meteoroid and space debris impacts in grazing-incidence telescopes
J. D. Carpenter, A. Wells, A. F. Abbey +1
Micrometeoroid or space debris impacts have been observed in the focal planes of the XMM-Newton and Swift-XRT X-ray observatories. These impacts have resulted in damage to, and in…
The in-flight spectroscopic performance of the Swift XRT CCD camera during 2006-2007
O. Godet, A. P. Beardmore, A. F. Abbey +26
The Swift X-ray Telescope focal plane camera is a front-illuminated MOS CCD, providing a spectral response kernel of 135 eV FWHM at 5.9 keV as measured before launch. We describe t…
Swift observations of GRB050904: the most distant cosmic explosion ever observed
G. Cusumano, V. Mangano, G. Chincarini +30
Swift discovered the high redshift (z=6.29) GRB050904 with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and began observing with its narrow field instruments 161 s after the burst onset. This g…
The Swift X-ray flaring afterglow of GRB 050607
Claudio Pagani, David C. Morris, Shiho Kobayashi +22
The unique capability of the Swift satellite to perform a prompt and autonomous slew to a newly detected Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) has yielded the discovery of interesting new properti…
