Swift and Chandra confirm the intensity-hardness correlation of the AXP 1RXS J170849.0-400910
S. Campana, N. Rea, G. L. Israel +2
Convincing evidence for long-term variations in the emission properties of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1RXS J170849.0-400910 has been gathered in the last few years. In particular,…
The first XMM-Newton observations of the Soft Gamma-ray Repeater SGR 1900+14
S. Mereghetti, P. Esposito, A. Tiengo +6
A ~50 ks XMM-Newton observation of SGR 1900+14 has been carried out in September 2005, after almost three years during which no bursts were detected from this soft gamma-ray repeat…
Chandra Smells a RRAT: X-ray Detection of a Rotating Radio Transient
B. M. Gaensler, M. McLaughlin, S. Reynolds +10
"Rotating RAdio Transients" (RRATs) are a newly discovered astronomical phenomenon, characterised by occasional brief radio bursts, with average intervals between bursts ranging fr…
Search for radio pulsations in four Anomalous X-ray Pulsars and discovery of two new pulsars
M. Burgay, N. Rea, G. L. Israel +5
We report on observations of four southern Anomalous X-ray Pulsars, (1RXS J170849.0-400910, 1E 1048.1-5937, 1E 1841-045 and AX J1845-0258), obtained at 1.4 GHz using the Parkes rad…
The frontier of darkness: the cases of GRB 040223, GRB 040422, GRB 040624
P. D'Avanzo, P. Filliatre, P. Goldoni +23
Understanding the reasons for the faintness of the optical/near-infrared afterglows of the so-called dark bursts is essential to assess whether they form a subclass of GRBs, and he…
