Observations of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with LOFT
E. Bozzo, P. Romano, C. Ferrigno +2
Supergiant Fast X-ray transients are a subclass of high mass X-ray binaries displaying a peculiar and still poorly understood extreme variability in the X-ray domain. These sources…
Swift monitoring of IGR J16418-4532
P. Esposito, P. Romano, V. Mangano +2
We report on the Swift observations of the candidate supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) IGR J16418-4532, which has an orbital period of ~3.7 d. Our monitoring, for a total of ~…
Investigating Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with LOFT
P. Romano, E. Bozzo, P. Esposito +2
Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFXT) are a class of High-Mass X-ray Binaries whose optical counterparts are O or B supergiant stars, and whose X-ray outbursts are ~ 4 orders of…
The prompt-afterglow connection in Gamma-Ray Bursts: a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves
R. Margutti, E. Zaninoni, M. G. Bernardini +20
We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilit…
