Multi-band study of RX J0838-2827 and XMM J083850.4-282759: a new asynchronous magnetic cataclysmic variable and a candidate transitional millisecond pulsar
N. Rea, F. Coti Zelati, P. Esposito +23
In search for the counterpart to the Fermi-LAT source 3FGL J0838.8-2829, we performed a multi-wavelength campaign, in the X-ray band with Swift and XMM-Newton, performed infrared,…
Magnetar-like activity from the central compact object in the SNR RCW103
Nanda Rea, Alice Borghese, Paolo Esposito +4
The 6.67 hr periodicity and the variable X-ray flux of the central compact object (CCO) at the center of the SNR RCW 103, named 1E 161348-5055, have been always difficult to interp…
A physical scenario for the high and low X-ray luminosity states in the transitional pulsar PSR J1023+0038
S. Campana, F. Coti Zelati, A. Papitto +4
PSR J1023+0038 (J1023) is a binary system hosting a neutron star and a low mass companion. J1023 is the best studied transitional pulsar, alternating a faint eclipsing millisecond…
Swift J174540.7-290015: a new accreting binary in the Galactic Center
G. Ponti, C. Jin, B. De Marco +8
We report on the identification of the new Galactic Center (GC) transient Swift J174540.7-290015 as a likely low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) located at only 16 arcsec from Sgr A*. Thi…
Different twins in the millisecond pulsar recycling scenario: optical polarimetry of PSR J1023+0038 and XSS J12270-4859
M. C. Baglio, P. D'Avanzo, S. Campana +3
We present the first optical polarimetric study of the two transitional pulsars PSR J1023+0038 and XSS J12270-4859. This work is focused on the search for intrinsical linear polari…
The variable spin-down rate of the transient magnetar XTE J1810--197
F. Pintore, F. Bernardini, S. Mereghetti +7
We have analyzed XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the transient magnetar XTE J1810-197, spanning more than 11 years, from the initial phases of the 2003 outburst to the curre…
The discovery, monitoring and environment of SGR J1935+2154
G. L. Israel, P. Esposito, N. Rea +9
We report on the discovery of a new member of the magnetar class, SGR J1935+2154, and on its timing and spectral properties measured by an extensive observational campaign carried…
