The Sleeping Monster: NuSTAR observations of SGR 1806-20, 11 years after the Giant Flare
George Younes, Matthew G. Baring, Chryssa Kouveliotou +5
We report the analysis of 5 NuSTAR observations of SGR 1806-20 spread over a year from April 2015 to April 2016, more than 11 years following its Giant Flare (GF) of 2004. The sour…
Magnetar-like X-ray bursts suppress pulsar radio emission
R. F. Archibald, M. Burgay, M. Lyutikov +9
Rotation-powered pulsars and magnetars are two different observational manifestations of neutron stars: rotation powered pulsars are rapidly spinning objects that are mostly observ…
Formation of Double Neutron Star Systems
T. M. Tauris, M. Kramer, P. C. C. Freire +11
Double neutron star (DNS) systems represent extreme physical objects and the endpoint of an exotic journey of stellar evolution and binary interactions. Large numbers of DNS system…
FRB 121102 is coincident with a star forming region in its host galaxy
C. G. Bassa, S. P. Tendulkar, E. A. K. Adams +16
We present optical, near- and mid-infrared imaging of the host galaxy of FRB 121102 with the Gemini North telescope, the Hubble Space Telescope and the Spitzer Space Telescope. The…
A Multi-telescope Campaign on FRB 121102: Implications for the FRB Population
C. J. Law, M. W. Abruzzo, C. G. Bassa +33
We present results of the coordinated observing campaign that made the first subarcsecond localization of a Fast Radio Burst, FRB 121102. During this campaign, we made the first si…
Simultaneous X-ray, gamma-ray, and Radio Observations of the repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102
P. Scholz, S. Bogdanov, J. W. T. Hessels +19
We undertook coordinated campaigns with the Green Bank, Effelsberg, and Arecibo radio telescopes during Chandra X-ray Observatory and XMM-Newton observations of the repeating fast…
Magnetars
Victoria M. Kaspi, Andrei Beloborodov
Magnetars are young and highly magnetized neutron stars which display a wide array of X-ray activity including short bursts, large outbursts, giant flares and quasi-periodic oscill…
The Host Galaxy and Redshift of the Repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102
Shriharsh P. Tendulkar, Cees Bassa, James M. Cordes +21
The precise localization of the repeating fast radio burst (FRB 121102) has provided the first unambiguous association (chance coincidence probability ) of…
The Repeating Fast Radio Burst FRB 121102 as Seen on Milliarcsecond Angular Scales
B. Marcote, Z. Paragi, J. W. T. Hessels +26
The millisecond-duration radio flashes known as Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) represent an enigmatic astrophysical phenomenon. Recently, the sub-arcsecond localization (~ 100mas precisi…
The direct localization of a fast radio burst and its host
S. Chatterjee, C. J. Law, R. S. Wharton +22
Fast radio bursts are astronomical radio flashes of unknown physical nature with durations of milliseconds. Their dispersive arrival times suggest an extragalactic origin and imply…
A Search for Fast Radio Bursts with the GBNCC Pulsar Survey
P. Chawla, V. M. Kaspi, A. Josephy +17
We report on a search for Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) with the Green Bank Northern Celestial Cap (GBNCC) Pulsar Survey at 350 MHz. Pointings amounting to a total on-sky time of 61 day…
