Measuring the Accreting Stellar and Intermediate Mass Black Hole Populations in the Galaxy and Local Group
Jonathan Grindlay, Didier Barret, Tomaso Belloni +23
The population of stellar black holes (SBHs) in the Galaxy and galaxies generally is poorly known in both number and distribution. SBHs are the fossil record of the massive stars i…
Integrating the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor into the 3rd Interplanetary Network
K. Hurley, M. Briggs, V. Connaughton +35
We are integrating the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) into the Interplanetary Network (IPN) of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) detectors. With the GBM, the IPN will comprise 9 experimen…
Temporal properties of GX 301-2 over a year-long observation with SuperAGILE
Y. Evangelista, M. Feroci, E. Costa +52
We present the long-term monitoring of the High Mass X-ray Binary GX 301-2 performed with the SuperAGILE instrument on-board the AGILE mission. The source was monitored in the 20-6…
Discovery of extreme particle acceleration in the microquasar Cygnus X-3
M. Tavani, A. Bulgarelli, G. Piano +67
The study of relativistic particle acceleration is a major topic of high-energy astrophysics. It is well known that massive black holes in active galaxies can release a substantial…
SuperAGILE data processing services
F. Lazzarotto, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +6
The SuperAGILE (SA) instrument is a X-ray detector for As- trophysics measurements, part of the Italian AGILE satellite for X-Ray and Gamma-Ray Astronomy launched at 23/04/2007 fro…
Monitoring the hard X-ray sky with SuperAGILE
M. Feroci, E. Costa, E. Del Monte +77
SuperAGILE is the hard X-ray monitor of the AGILE gamma ray mission, in orbit since 23 April 2007. It is an imaging experiment based on a set of four independent silicon str…
