The Swift view of supergiant fast X-ray transients

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report the results of a monitoring campaign carried out with Swift/XRT on a sample of four Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients (SFT Transients).

Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift: spectroscopic and temporal properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the Swift SFXT project has conducted a systematic investigation of the properties of SFTXs on timescales ranging from minutes to years and in several intensity states (from bright flares, to intermediate intensity states, and down to almost quiescence).

Towards precision particle background estimation for future x-ray missions: correlated variability between Chandra ACIS and AMS

TL;DR: In this paper , the variability of the particle background as measured by ACIS on the Chandra x-ray observatory and compare that variability to that measured by the alpha magnetic spectrometer (AMS), a precision particle detector on the ISS.
