X-ray polarization detection of Cassiopeia A with IXPE

Jacco Vink, Dmitry Prokhorov, Riccardo Ferrazzoli +92

We report on a detection of polarized 3-6 keV X-ray emission from the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The overall polar…

GRB 990704: the most X-ray rich BeppoSAX gamma-ray burst

M. Feroci, L. A. Antonelli, P. Soffitta +8

We present the X- and -ray detection of GRB 990704 and the discovery and study of its X-ray afterglow, 1SAX J1219.5-0350. Two pointed BeppoSAX observations with the narrow field…

Early detection of the optical counterpart to GRB 980329

J. Gorosabel, A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. Pedrosa +6

We report optical observations of the GRB 980329 error box which represent the second earliest detection of the GRB 980329 optical transient. We determine R = 23.7 0.5 mag on…

BeppoSAX observations of GRB970402

L. Nicastro, L. Amati, L. A. Antonelli +10

GRB970402 is the fourth gamma-ray burst detected by BeppoSAX simultaneously in the Gamma Ray Burst Monitor (GRBM) and one of the two Wide Field Cameras (WFCs). A rapid pointing of…
