Discovery of the X-ray Counterpart to the Rotating Radio Transient J1819--1458
S. P. Reynolds, K. J. Borkowski, B. M. Gaensler +10
We present the discovery of the first X-ray counterpart to a Rotating RAdio Transient (RRAT) source. RRAT J1819--1458 is a relatively highly magnetized (B G)…
The weak INTEGRAL bursts GRB040223 and GRB040624: an emerging population of dark afterglows
P. Filliatre, S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo +18
We report here gamma-ray, X-ray and near-infrared observations of GRB040223 along with gamma-ray and optical observations of GRB040624. GRB040223 was detected by INTEGRAL close to…
A closer look at the X-ray transient XTE J1908+094: identification of two new near-infrared candidate counterparts
Sylvain Chaty, Roberto P. Mignani, Gianluca Israel
We had reported in Chaty, Mignani, Israel (2002) on the near-infrared (NIR) identification of a possible counterpart to the black hole candidate XTE J1908+094 obtained with the ESO…
Gravitational Radiation from Newborn Magnetars
Luigi Stella, Simone Dall'Osso, GianLuca Israel +1
There is growing evidence that two classes of high-energy sources, the Soft Gamma Repeaters and the Anomalous X-ray Pulsars contain slowly spinning ``magnetars'', i.e. neutron star…
A Compton reflection dominated spectrum in a peculiar accreting neutron star
Nanda Rea, Luigi Stella, Gian Luca Israel +5
We report on a puzzling event occurred during a long BeppoSAX observation of the slow-rotating binary pulsar GX 1+4. During this event, lasting about 1 day, the source X-ray flux w…
Doppler tomography of the transient X-ray binary Centaurus X-4 in quiescence
P. D'Avanzo, S. Campana, J. Casares +4
We present ESO-NTT low resolution spectroscopy of the neutron star X-ray transient Cen X-4 in quiescence over a complete orbital cycle. Our data reveal the presence of a K3-7 V com…
