Confirmation of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient nature of AX J1841.0-0536 from Swift outburst observations
P. Romano, V. Mangano, G. Cusumano +8
Swift observed an outburst from the supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXT) AX J1841.0-0536 on 2010 June 5, and followed it with XRT for 11 days. The X-ray light curve shows an ini…
On Relativistic Disk Spectroscopy in Compact Objects with X-ray CCD Cameras
J. M. Miller, A. D'Ai, M. W. Bautz +11
X-ray charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are the workhorse detectors of modern X-ray astronomy. Typically covering the 0.3-10.0 keV energy range, CCDs are able to detect photoelectric a…
The afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 090205: evidence for a Ly-alpha emitter at z=4.65
P. D'Avanzo, M. Perri, D. Fugazza +17
Gamma-ray bursts have been proved to be detectable up to distances much larger than any other astrophysical object, providing the most effective way, complementary to ordinary surv…
Evolution of the Chandra CCD Spectra of SNR 1987A: Probing the Reflected-Shock Picture
Svetozar A. Zhekov, Sangwook Park, Richard McCray +2
We continue to explore the validity of the reflected shock structure (RSS) picture in SNR 1987A that was proposed in our previous analyses of the X-ray emission from this object. W…
The Swift SFXT monitoring campaign: the IGR J16479-4514 outburst in 2009
V. La Parola, L. Ducci, P. Romano +8
IGR J16479-4514 is a member of the Supergiant Fast X-ray transient (SFXT) class. We present the light curves of its latest outburst, which occurred on January 29, 2009. During this…
