Unveiling the multi-wavelength phenomenology of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars

GianLuca Israel, Luigi Stella, Stefano Covino +6

During 2002-2003 the number of IR-identified counterparts to the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars (AXPs) has grown to four (4U0142+614, 2E2259+584, 1E 1048-59 and 1RXS J170849-400910) out o…

Out of the Chorus Line : What Makes 1E1207.4-5209 a Unique Object?

A. De Luca, P. A. Caraveo, S. Mereghetti +3

The discovery of deep spectral features in the X-ray spectrum of 1E1207.4-5209 has pushed this Isolated Neutron Star (INS) out of the chorus line, since no other INS has shown sign…

The variable quiescence of Cen X-4

S. Campana, G. L. Israel, L. Stella +2

Cen X-4 is one of the best studied low-mass neutron star transients in quiescence. Thanks to XMM-Newton large throughput, Cen X-4 was observed at the highest signal to noise ever.…

Unveiling the Nature of the 321 s Modulation in RX J0806.3+1527: Near-Simultaneous Chandra and VLT Observations

G. L. Israel, S. Covino, L. Stella +7

We report on the first near-simultaneous X-ray and optical observations of RX J0806.3+1527. The source is believed to be a 321s orbital period ultra-compact binary system hosting a…

GRB021125: the first GRB imaged by INTEGRAL

G. Malaguti, A. Bazzano, V. Beckmann +12

In the late afternoon of November 25, 2002 a gamma-ray burst (GRB) was detected in the partially coded field of view (about 7.3 deg from the centre) of the imager IBIS on board the…

Time resolved spectroscopy of GRB030501 using INTEGRAL

V. Beckmann, J. Borkowski, T. J. -L. Courvoisier +7

The Gamma-ray instruments on-board INTEGRAL offer an unique opportunity to perform time resolved analysis on GRBs. The imager IBIS allows accurate positiioning of GRBs and broad ba…
