New results on transient neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries in quiescence

TL;DR: In this paper, the main observational properties of neutron star low mass transients in quiescence are reviewed, focusing on recent discoveries by Chandra and XMM-Newton, with special emphasis on the detection of the quiescent counterpart of SAX J1808.4-3658.

The LOFT mission concept: a status update

Marco Feroci, +463 more
- 25 Jul 2016 - 
TL;DR: The Large Observatory For x-ray Timing (LOFT) is a mission concept which was proposed to ESA as M3 and M4 candidate in the framework of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 program.
Journal ArticleDOI

Near real-time selection of high redshift GRBs with Swift

TL;DR: In this article, a selection procedure that identifies high-redshift (up to 6.3 ) candidates based only upon the promptly available information provided by Swift is presented and discussed, which relies upon Galactic extinction, GRB duration, and the absence of an optical counterpart in the UVOT telescope onboard Swift.
Journal ArticleDOI

A new kind of oscillation in the persistent emission of the Rapid Burster.

TL;DR: In this article, a study of a new kind of oscillation found in the persistent emission after some type II bursts from the Rapid Burster observed during 1985 August with EXOSAT was presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The identification of the optical/IR counterpart of the 29.5-s transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843+009 ⋆

TL;DR: In this paper, the optical/IR counterpart of the 29.5-s transient X-ray pulsar GS 1843+009 was identified, and a B0-B2 IV-Ve spectral-type star was located at a distance of > 10kpc.
