INTEGRAL observes the 2007 outburst of the Be transient SAX J2103.5+4545
L. Ducci, L. Sidoli, A. Paizis +2
We performed a detailed study of the 2007 outburst of the 352s pulsar SAXJ2103.5+4545, a Be/X-ray transient observed by INTEGRAL, to study its spectral and temporal properties duri…
Multiple flaring activity in the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J08408-4503 observed with Swift
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, G. Cusumano +11
IGR J08408-4503 is a supergiant fast X-ray transient discovered in 2006 with a confirmed association with a O8.5Ib(f) supergiant star, HD 74194. We report on the analysis of two ou…
Transient outburst mechanisms in Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients
L. Sidoli
The recent discovery of a new class of recurrent and fast X-ray transient sources, the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients, poses interesting questions on the possible mechanisms resp…
Swift uncovers that SAX J0840.7+2248 is not an X-ray Binary, but BeppoSAX X-ray Rich GRB 980429
P. Romano, C. Guidorzi, L. Sidoli +8
During our Swift/XRT program to obtain X-ray positions at arcsecond level for a sample of Galactic X-ray binaries, we discovered that SAX J0840.7+2248 is not a binary, but rather B…
XMM-Newton observations of the low-mass X-ray binary XB1832-330 in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6652
L. Sidoli, N. La Palombara, T. Oosterbroek +1
We report on two XMM-Newton observations performed in 2006 of the luminous low-mass X-ray binary XB1832-330 which is located in the galactic globular cluster NGC 6652 and is probab…
Monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift. Rise to the outburst in IGR J16479-4514
P. Romano, L. Sidoli, V. Mangano +6
IGR J16479-4514 is a Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient (SFXT), a new class of High Mass X-ray Binaries, whose number is rapidly growing thanks to the observations of the Galactic pla…
