The RoboPol optical polarization survey of gamma-ray - loud blazars
V. Pavlidou, E. Angelakis, I. Myserlis +23
We present first results from RoboPol, a novel-design optical polarimeter operating at the Skinakas Observatory in Crete. The data, taken during the May - June 2013 commissioning o…
The RoboPol Pipeline and Control System
O. G. King, D. Blinov, A. N. Ramaprakash +26
We describe the data reduction pipeline and control system for the RoboPol project. The RoboPol project is monitoring the optical -band magnitude and linear polarization of a la…
Evidence for a change in the radiation mechanism in the hard state of GRO J1655-40. Hysteresis in the broad-band noise components
P. Reig, I. E. Papadakis, M. A. Sobolewska +1
We have analysed RXTE archival data to study the aperiodic variability of the black-hole binary GRO J1655-40 during the hard state of the 2005 outburst. We computed the 0.008-64 Hz…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
Long-term monitoring of PKS0558-504 with Swift: the disc-corona link
M. Gliozzi, I. E. Papadakis, D. Grupe +2
PKS 0558-504 is a highly variable, X-ray bright, radio-loud, Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 galaxy with super-Eddington accretion rate and extended jets that do not dominate the emission be…
Generating artificial light curves: Revisited and updated
D. Emmanoulopoulos, I. M. McHardy, I. E. Papadakis
The production of artificial light curves with known statistical and variability properties is of great importance in astrophysics. Consolidating the confidence levels during cross…
