Further X‐ray observations of EXO 0748−676 in quiescence: evidence for a cooling neutron star crust

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on further X-ray observations of EXO 0748−676, extending the quiescent monitoring to 1.6 yr. The combined set of Chandra, XMM-Newton and Swift data reveals that the thermal bolometric luminosity fades from ∼1 × 10 34 to 6 × 10 33 (D/7.4 kpc) 2 erg s −1, whereas the inferred neutron star effective temperature decreases from ∼124 to 109 eV.

Limits on Dark Matter Annihilation Signals from the Fermi LAT 4-year Measurement of the Isotropic Gamma-Ray Background

Markus Ackermann, +111 more
TL;DR: In this article, an improved theoretical description of the cosmological DM annihilation signal, based on two complementary techniques and assuming generic weakly interacting massive particle (WIMP) properties, renders more precise predictions compared to previous work.

The first Fermi multifrequency campaign on BL Lacertae: characterizing the low-activity state of the eponymous blazar

A. A. Abdo, +219 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the radio to gamma-ray behavior of BL Lac is unveiled during a low activity state thanks to the coordinated observations of radio-band (Metsahovi and VLBA), near-IR/optical (Tuorla, Steward, OAGH and MDM) and X-ray (RXTE and Swift) observatories.
