XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transients XTEJ1739-302, IGRJ08408-4503 and IGRJ18410-0535
E. Bozzo, C. Ferrigno, J. C. Leyder +5
We report here on the XMM-Newton observations of the three supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXT) XTE J1739-302, IGRJ08408-4503, and IGRJ18410-0535. For the latter source we only…
The Twin Magnetars: SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408
S. Mereghetti, A. Tiengo, P. Esposito +10
We report on recent results obtained thanks to Target of Opportunity observations of the two galactic sources SGR 1627-41 and 1E 1547-5408. These two transient sources present seve…
Quiet but still bright: XMM-Newton observations of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 0526-66
A. Tiengo, P. Esposito, S. Mereghetti +6
SGR 0526-66 was the first soft gamma-ray repeater (SGR) from which a giant flare was detected in March 1979, suggesting the existence of magnetars, i.e. neutron stars powered by th…
Spin-down rate and inferred dipole magnetic field of the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41
P. Esposito, M. Burgay, A. Possenti +11
Using Chandra data taken on 2008 June, we detected pulsations at 2.59439(4) s in the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1627-41. This is the second measurement of the source spin period a…
Discovery of extended X-ray emission around the highly magnetic RRAT J1819-1458
N. Rea, M. A. McLaughlin, B. M. Gaensler +7
We report on the discovery of extended X-ray emission around the high magnetic field Rotating Radio Transient J1819-1458. Using a 30ks Chandra ACIS-S observation, we found signific…
The first X-ray eclipse of IGRJ16479-4514?
E. Bozzo, L. Stella, G. Israel +2
We report on the first long (~32 ks) pointed XMM-Newton observation of the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGRJ16479-4514. Results from the timing, spectral and spatial analysis of…
