Swift J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057: Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy with the Liverpool Telescope
We report on optical spectroscopy of the high-energy transient Swift J1910.2-0546 / MAXI 1910-057 (ATel #4139; #4140; #4171; #4195; #4198) using the 2m...
SWIFT J195509+261406: Dramatic Flaring Activity from a New Galactic Magnetar
Most of the transient sources that are detected in the gamma-ray sky are produced by extragalactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, it is known that there are...
Swift multi-wavelength observations of the high-redshift Blazar S5 0836+710 (4C 71.07)
We present the preliminary results of a year-long Swift monitoring campaign of the high-redshift (z=2.172) flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) S5 0836+710 (4C 71...
Swift observations of the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17498-2921: from outburst to quiescence
Swift has been monitoring the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17498-2921 since the start of its outburst in 2011 August 12 (ATels #3551, #3555, #3556). We...
Swift XRT/UVOT follow-up of the Black Hole Candidate MAXI J1659-152 during a low luminosity state
We report on a Swift follow-up observation of the X-ray transient MAXI J1659-152 (ATel #2873, ATel #2877, GCN #11296). This source is suggested to be a stellar...
Swift XRT/UVOT monitoring of MAXI J1659-152 during its low luminosity phase
We report on the continuous Swift follow-up observations of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 (ATel #2873, ATel #2877, GCN #11296) currently in its low...
Following the recent re-brightening (ATel #2608) and RXTE-PCA detection of X-ray bursts from the peculiar X-ray binary Cir X-1 between May 15 and 25 (ATel #2643...
