Accurate classification of 75 counterparts of objects detected in the 54 month Palermo Swift/BAT hard X-ray catalogue
P. Parisi, N. Masetti, A. F. Rojas +10
Through an optical campaign performed at 4 telescopes located in the northern and the southern hemispheres, we have obtained optical spectroscopy for 75 counterparts of unclassifie…
The counterpart/s of IGR J20159+3713/SWIFT J2015.9+3715: dissecting a complex region with emission from keV to TeV
L. Bassani, R. Landi, A. Malizia +4
We report on the identification of a new soft gamma-ray source, namely IGR J20159+3713/SWIFT J2015.9+3715, first detected by INTEGRAL/IBIS and then confirmed by Swift/BAT. The sour…
Unveiling the nature of INTEGRAL objects through optical spectroscopy. X. A new multi-year, multi-observatory campaign
N. Masetti, P. Parisi, E. Palazzi +18
Within the framework of our program (running since 2004) of identification of hard X-ray INTEGRAL sources through optical spectroscopy, we present the results concerning the nature…
Discovering a 5.72 Day Period in the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient AX J1845.0-0433
M. E. Goossens, A. J. Bird, S. P. Drave +5
Temporal analysis of INTEGRAL/IBIS data has revealed a 5.7195\pm0.0007 day periodicity in the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) source AX J1845.0-0433, which we interpret as t…
Hard X-ray spectra of AGN in the INTEGRAL complete sample
Manuela Molina, L. Bassani, A. Malizia +4
In this paper, we present the hard X-ray spectral analysis of a complete sample of AGN de- tected by INTEGRAL/IBIS. In conjunction with IBIS spectra, we make use of Swift/BAT data,…
X-ray, optical and infrared investigation of the candidate Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient IGR J18462-0223
V. Sguera, S. P. Drave, L. Sidoli +4
We report on a broad-band X-ray study (0.5-60 keV) of the poorly known candidate Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT) IGR J18462-0223, and on optical and near-infrared (NIR) foll…
INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton observations of IGR J16418-4532: evidence of accretion regime transitions in a supergiant fast X-ray transient
S. P. Drave, A. J. Bird, L. Sidoli +5
We report on combined INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J16418-4532. The observations targeted the X-ray eclipse region of IGR J16418-…
A 420 day X-ray/optical modulation and extended X-ray dips in the short-period transient Swift J1753.5-0127
A. W. Shaw, P. A. Charles, A. J. Bird +6
We have discovered a \sim420d modulation, with associated X-ray dips, in RXTE-ASM/MAXI/Swift-BAT archival light-curves of the short-period (3.2h) black-hole X-ray transient, Swift…
Contrasting behaviour from two Be/X-ray binary pulsars: insights into differing neutron star accretion modes
L. J. Townsend, S. P. Drave, A. B. Hill +3
In this paper we present the identification of two periodic X-ray signals coming from the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). On detection with the Rossi X-ray Timing Ex…
Swift/XRT observations of newly discovered INTEGRAL sources
R. Landi, L. Bassani, A. Bazzano +2
With respect to the recent INTEGRAL/IBIS 9-year Galactic Hard X-ray Survey (Krivonos et al. 2012), we use archival Swift/XRT observations in conjunction with multi-wavelength infor…
Identification of newly-discovered sources belonging to the 4th IBIS catalog and to the 54 months Palermo Swift/BAT catalog
P. Parisi, N. Masetti, A. F. Rojas +17
The most recent all-sky surveys performed with the INTEGRAL and SWIFT satellites allowed the detection of more than 1500 sources in hard X-rays above 20 keV. About one quarter of t…
Review on Active Galactic Nuclei at hard X-ray energies
Loredana Bassani, M. Molina, A. Malizia +6
Hard X-ray surveys are an important tool for the study of active galactic nuclei (AGN): they provide almost an unbiased view of absorption in the extragalactic population, allow th…
