An alternative hypothesis for the outburst mechanism in Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients: the case of IGR J11215-5952
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, S. Mereghetti +4
(ABRIDGED)- The physical mechanism responsible for the short outbursts in a recently recognized class of High Mass X-ray Binaries, the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), is…
GRB 070311: a direct link between the prompt emission and the afterglow
C. Guidorzi, S. D. Vergani, S. Sazonov +30
We present prompt gamma-ray, early NIR/optical, late optical and X-ray observations of the peculiar GRB 070311 discovered by INTEGRAL, in order to gain clues on the mechanisms resp…
Swift/XRT observes the fifth outburst of the periodic Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient IGR J11215-5952
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, V. Mangano +2
IGR J11215-5952 is a hard X-ray transient source discovered in April 2005 with INTEGRAL and a confirmed member of the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries, the Supergiant Fast X-r…
X-ray Flares in Early GRB Afterglows
D. N. Burrows, A. Falcone, G. Chincarini +12
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) has discovered that flares are quite common in early X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), being observed in roughly 50% of afterglows with p…
Gamma Ray Bursts Flares detected and observed by the Swift Satellite
Guido Chincarini, Alberto Moretti, Patrizia Romano +11
The detection of flares with the Swift satellite triggered a lot of bservational and theoretical interest in these phenomena. As a consequence a large analysis effort started withi…
Taking the pulse of the shortest orbital period binary system RX J0806.3+1527
G. L. Israel, S. Covino, S. Dall'Osso +8
RX J0806.3+1527 is thought to be a 321s orbital period (the shortest known) double white dwarf binary system. According to the double degenerate binary (DDB) scenario this source i…
