The Swift gamma-ray burst mission
TLDR
The Swift mission will determine the origin of GRB, classify GRBs and search for new types, study the interaction of the ultrarelativistic outflows of GRBs with their surrounding medium, and use GRBs to study the early universe out to z >10.
X-ray fluorescence from the inner disc in Cygnus X-1
Les spectres RX de nombreuses sources de trous noirs en accretion suggerent la presence de matiere relativement froide entouree d'un plasma emetteur de RX dur. Les raies fluorescentes du fer sont…
An enigmatic long-lasting γ-ray burst not accompanied by a bright supernova
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense flashes of soft γ-rays coming from the distant Universe. Long-duration GRBs (those lasting more than ∼2 s) are believed to originate from the deaths of…
GRB 090423 at a redshift of z ≈ 8.1
TLDR
Observations of GRB 090423 and the near-infrared spectroscopic measurement of its redshift are reported, suggesting that the mechanisms and progenitors that gave rise to this burst about 600,000,000 years after the Big Bang are not markedly different from those producing GRBs about 10, thousands of years later.
A Low-Magnetic-Field Soft Gamma Repeater
TLDR
The magnetar population may include objects with a wider range of B-field strengths, ages, and evolutionary stages than observed so far, implying that this population is wider than was previously thought.
The neutron stars of Soft X–ray Transients
Summary. Soft X–ray Transients (SXRTs) have long been suspected to contain old, weakly magnetic neutron stars that have been spun up by accretion torques. After reviewing their observational…
KHZ QUASIPERIODIC OSCILLATIONS IN LOW-MASS X-RAY BINARIES AS PROBES OF GENERAL RELATIVITY IN THE STRONG-FIELD REGIME
We consider the interpretation of a pair of kHz quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) in the Fourier spectra of two low-mass x-ray binaries, Sco X-1 and 4U1608-52, hosting an old accreting neutron star.…
An accreting pulsar with extreme properties drives an ultraluminous x-ray source in NGC 5907
TLDR
Observations showing that NGC 5907 ULX is instead an x-ray accreting neutron star (NS) with a spin period evolving from 1.43 seconds in 2003 to 1.13 seconds in 2014 suggest that other extreme ULXs (x-ray luminosity ≥ 1041 erg second−1) might harbor NSs.
Discovery of a 0.42-s pulsar in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 7793 P13
NGC 7793 P13 is a variable (luminosity range ∼100) ultraluminous X-ray source proposed to host a stellar-mass black hole of less than 15 M⊙ in a binary system with orbital period of 64 d and a 18-23…
A 685 second orbital period from the X-ray source 4U 1820-30 in the globular cluster NGC 6624.
The discovery of a coherent 685 s periodicity in the X-ray source 4U 1820 -30, which is located in the globular cluster NGC 6624, is reported. The modulation has a peak-to-peak amplitude of up to 3…
