POET: POlarimeters for Energetic Transients
J. E. Hill, M. L. McConnell, P. Bloser +15
POET (Polarimeters for Energetic Transients) is a Small Explorer mission concept proposed to NASA in January 2008. The principal scientific goal of POET is to measure GRB polarizat…
Cosmic X-ray background and Earth albedo Spectra with Swift/BAT
M. Ajello, J. Greiner, G. Sato +8
We use Swift/BAT Earth occultation data at different geomagnetic latitudes to derive a sensitive measurement of the Cosmic X-ray background (CXB) and of the Earth albedo emission i…
BAT X-ray Survey - I: Methodology and X-ray Identification
M. Ajello, J. Greiner, G. Kanbach +3
We applied the Maximum Likelihood method, as an image reconstruction algorithm, to the BAT X-ray Survey (BXS). This method was specifically designed to preserve the full statistica…
INTEGRAL observations of PSR B0540-69
A. Slowikowska, G. Kanbach, J. Borkowski +1
PSR B0540-69 is often called an extragalactic 'twin' of the Crab pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud. The pulsar is embedded in a synchrotron nebula in the center of SNR 0540-69.3…
Comparison of giant radio pulses in young pulsars and millisecond pulsars
A. Slowikowska, A. Jessner, G. Kanbach +1
Pulse-to-pulse intensity variations are a common property of pulsar radio emission. For some of the objects single pulses are often 10-times stronger than their average pulse. The…
A search for a counterpart of the unidentified gamma-ray source 3EG J2020+4017 (2CG078+2)
Martin C. Weisskopf, Douglas A. Swartz, Alberto Carraminana +7
We report observations with the Chandra X-ray Observatory of a field in the gamma$-Cygni supernova remnant (SNR78.2+2.1) centered on the cataloged location of the unidentified, bri…
