Swift/XRT monitoring of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient IGR J18483-0311 for an entire orbital period
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, L. Ducci +9
IGR J18483-0311 is an X-ray pulsar with transient X-ray activity, belonging to the new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries called Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients. This system is one…
Spin and Relativistic Phenomena Around Black Holes
L. Brenneman, J. M. Miller, K. Nandra +13
Since the seminal work of Penrose (1969) and Blandford & Znajek (1977), it has been realized that black hole spin may be an important energy source in astrophysics. The radio-loud/…
Fundamental Accretion and Ejection Astrophysics
J. M. Miller, M. Nowak, K. Nandra +11
Disk accretion may be the fundamental astrophysical process. Stars and planets form through the accretion of gas in a disk. Black holes and galaxies co-evolve through efficient dis…
Swift GRBs and the blast wave model
P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, R. L. C. Starling +1
The complex structure of the light curves of Swift GRBs has made their interpretation and that of the blast wave caused by the burst, more difficult than in the pre-Swift era. We a…
