X-ray Timing beyond the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
Didier Barret
With its ability to look at bright galactic X-ray sources with sub-millisecond time resolution, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) discovered that the X-ray emission from accre…
The coherence of kHz quasi-periodic oscillations in the X-rays from accreting neutron stars
Didier Barret, Jean-Francois Olive, M. Coleman Miller
We study in a systematic way the quality factor of the lower and upper kHz QPOs in a sample of low luminosity neutron star X-ray binaries, showing both QPOs varying over a wide fre…
Opening a New Window to Fundamental Physics and Astrophysics: X-ray Polarimetry
E. Costa, R. Bellazzini, P. Soffitta +25
An extensive theoretical literature predicts that X-ray Polarimetry can directly determine relevant physical and geometrical parameters of astrophysical sources, and discriminate b…
The ECLAIRs micro-satellite mission for gamma-ray burst multi-wavelength observations
S. Schanne, J. -L. Atteia, D. Barret +17
Gamma-ray bursts (GRB), at least those with a duration longer than a few seconds are the most energetic events in the Universe and occur at cosmological distances. The ECLAIRs micr…
