Swift/XRT monitoring of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient IGR J18483-0311 for an entire orbital period
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, L. Ducci +9
IGR J18483-0311 is an X-ray pulsar with transient X-ray activity, belonging to the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries called Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. This system is one…
X-ray and UV observations of nova V598 Puppis between 147 and 255 days after outburst
K. L. Page, J. P. Osborne, A. M. Read +6
Aims: The launch of Swift has allowed many more novae to be observed regularly over the X-ray band. Such X-ray observations of novae can reveal ejecta shocks and the nuclear burnin…
Swift observations of the X-ray and UV evolution of V2491 Cyg (Nova Cyg 2008 No. 2)
K. L. Page, J. P. Osborne, P. A. Evans +8
We present extensive, high-density Swift observations of V2491 Cyg (Nova Cyg 2008 No. 2). Observing the X-ray emission from only one day after the nova discovery, the source is fol…
The phases of X-ray emission of RS Oph
J. -U. Ness, S. Starrfield, K. L. Page +3
The recurrent symbiotic nova RS Oph reoccurred after 21 years on 12 February 2006. In contrast to the 1985 outburst, much denser coverage with X-ray observations was achieved. Swif…
Multi-wavelength observations of the energetic GRB 080810: detailed mapping of the broadband spectral evolution
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, E. Bissaldi +31
GRB 080810 was one of the first bursts to trigger both Swift and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. It was subsequently monitored over the X-ray and UV/optical bands by Swift, in…
Swift X-ray and UV monitoring of the Classical Nova V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007)
J. -U. Ness, J. J. Drake, A. P. Beardmore +18
We describe the highly variable X-ray and UV emission of V458 Vul (Nova Vul 2007), observed by Swift between 1 and 422 days after outburst. Initially bright only in the UV, V458 Vu…
The unusual X-ray light-curve of GRB 080307: the onset of the afterglow?
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, P. T. O'Brien +11
Swift-detected GRB 080307 showed an unusual smooth rise in its X-ray light-curve around 100 seconds after the burst, at the start of which the emission briefly softened. This `hump…
