Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Results from the first year
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +12
Swift has allowed the possibility to give Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs), the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries discovered by INTEGRAL, non serendipitous attention th…
The Palermo Swift-BAT Hard X-ray Catalogue. II- Results after 39 months of sky survey
G. Cusumano, V. La Parola, A. Segreto +12
We present the Palermo Swift-BAT hard X-ray catalogue obtained from the analysis of the the data relative to the first 39 months of the Swift mission. We have developed a dedicated…
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients in outburst: new Swift observations of XTEJ1739-302, IGRJ17544-2619, and IGRJ08408-4503
L. Sidoli, P. Romano, L. Ducci +8
We report on new X-ray outbursts observed with Swift from three Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs): XTEJ1739-302, IGRJ17544-2619 and IGRJ08408-4503. The former two outbursts…
Swift and Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients: a novel monitoring approach
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, V. Mangano +6
We describe our monitoring strategy which best exploits the sensitivity and flexibility of Swift to study the long-term behaviour of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXTs). We pr…
