Presently seven superbursters have been identified representing 10% of the total Galactic X-ray burster population. Four superbursters were discovered with the...
Rapid timing studies of black hole binaries in Optical and X-rays: correlated and non-linear variability
In a fast multi-wavelength timing study of black hole X-ray binaries (BHBs), we have discovered correlated optical and X-ray variability in the low/hard state...
The IR data come from the Herschel/SPIRE Science Demonstration Phase (SDP) observations of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS)-North, taken as...
Spitzer/IRAC sources in the EGS I. SEDs (Barro+, 2011)
Table 1 summarizes the main characteristics of the multi-wavelength data sets in EGS (RA=14:17,DE=+52:30) compiled for this paper to characterize the IRAC...
The circumburst density profile around GRB progenitors
Observational and theoretical evidence suggest that long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) originate from the collapse of massive stars, while short bursts are caused by...
The GRB 030227 Detected by INTEGRAL: Another Sign of Compton Scattering in X-rays
Multiwavelengthp observations of a GRB detected by INTEGRAL (GRB 030227) revealed a dim optical afterglow (OA) that would not have been detected by many...
The authors present the first results on the optical identification of 89 ROSAT sources on the second Lockman hole. Because of the low Galactic H I column...
Swift is a first-of-its-kind multiwavelength transient observatory for GRB astronomy. It has the optimum capabilities for the next breakthroughs in determining...
Ultraluminous X-ray Sources: Beambags and Optical Counterparts
A significant fraction of ultraluminous X-ray sources appear to be embedded in observable ionized nebulæ that take the form of large, several 100 pc diameter...
