The EXTraS Project: Exploring the X-ray transient and variable sky
A. De Luca, R. Salvaterra, A. Belfiore +29
Temporal variability in flux and spectral shape is ubiquitous in the X-ray sky and carries crucial information about the nature and emission physics of the sources. The EPIC instru…
A Supernova Candidate at z=0.092 in XMM-Newton Archival Data
G. Novara, P. Esposito, A. Tiengo +14
During a search for X-ray transients in the XMM-Newton archive within the EXTraS project, we discovered a new X-ray source that is detected only during a ~5 min interval of a ~21 h…
GRB 151027B - large-amplitude late-time radio variability
J. Greiner, J. Bolmer, M. Wieringa +20
Deriving physical parameters from gamma-ray burst afterglow observations remains a challenge, even now, 20 years after the discovery of afterglows. The main reason for the lack of…
A long optical plateau in the afterglow of the Extended Emission short GRB 150424A: Evidence for energy injection by a magnetar?
F. Knust, J. Greiner, H. J. van Eerten +14
Short-duration GRBs with extended emission form a subclass of short GRBs, comprising about 15% of the short-duration sample. Afterglow detections of short GRBs are also rare (about…
The Optical/NIR afterglow of GRB 111209A: Complex yet not Unprecedented
D. A. Kann, P. Schady, F. Olivares E. +24
Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are simple in the most basic model, but can show many complex features. The ultra-long duration GRB 111209A, one of the longest GRBs ever dete…
EXTraS discovery of two pulsators in the direction of the LMC: a Be/X-ray binary pulsar in the LMC and a candidate double-degenerate polar in the foreground
F. Haberl, G. L. Israel, G. A. Rodriguez Castillo +10
The EXTraS project to explore the X-ray Transient and variable Sky searches for coherent signals in the X-ray archival data of XMM-Newton. XMM-Newton performed more than 400 pointe…
Multi-wavelength properties of IGR J05007-7047 (LXP 38.55) and identification as a Be X-ray binary pulsar in the LMC
G. Vasilopoulos, F. Haberl, C. Delvaux +2
We report on the results of a 40 d multi-wavelength monitoring of the Be X-ray binary system IGR J05007-7047 (LXP 38.55). During that period the system was monitored in the X…
Highly Luminous Supernovae associated with Gamma-Ray Bursts I.: GRB 111209A/SN 2011kl in the Context of Stripped-Envelope and Superluminous Supernovae
D. A. Kann, P. Schady, F. E. Olivares +22
GRB 111209A, one of the longest Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) ever observed, is linked to SN 2011kl, the most luminous GRB-Supernova (SN) detected so far, which shows evidence for being…
The optical identifcation of events with poorly defined locations: The case of the Fermi GBM GRB140801A
V. M. Lipunov, J. Gorosabel, M. V. Pruzhinskaya +50
We report the early discovery of the optical afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 140801A in the 137 deg 3- error-box of the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). MASTER is the…
Multi-wavelength observations of 3FGL J2039.6-5618: a candidate redback millisecond pulsar
D. Salvetti, R. P. Mignani, A. De Luca +8
We present multi-wavelength observations of the unassociated gamma-ray source 3FGL J2039.6-5618 detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope. The source gamma-ray properties suggest…
A very luminous magnetar-powered supernova associated with an ultra-long gamma-ray burst
Jochen Greiner, Paolo A. Mazzali, D. Alexander Kann +29
A new class of ultra-long duration (>10,000 s) gamma-ray bursts has recently been suggested. They may originate in the explosion of stars with much larger radii than normal long ga…
Super-solar metallicity at the position of the ultra-long GRB130925A
P. Schady, T. Kruehler, J. Greiner +17
Over the last decade there has been immense progress in the follow-up of short and long GRBs, resulting in a significant rise in the detection rate of X-ray and optical afterglows,…
Microphysics and dynamics of the Gamma-Ray Burst 121024A
K. Varela, H. van Eerten, J. Greiner +28
Aims. The aim of the study is to constrain the physics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by analysing the multi-wavelength afterglow data set of GRB 121024A that covers the full range fro…
Gamma-Ray Bursts Trace UV Metrics of Star Formation over 3 < z < 5
Jochen Greiner, Derek B. Fox, Patricia Schady +15
We present the first uniform treatment of long duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxy detections and upper limits over the redshift range 3<z<5, a key epoch for observational a…
A real-time fast radio burst: polarization detection and multiwavelength follow-up
E. Petroff, M. Bailes, E. D. Barr +32
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are one of the most tantalizing mysteries of the radio sky; their progenitors and origins remain unknown and until now no rapid multiwavelength follow-up o…
