Journal ArticleDOI

The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Mission

Neil Gehrels, +77 more
TL;DR: The Swift mission as discussed by the authors is a multi-wavelength observatory for gamma-ray burst (GRB) astronomy, which is a first-of-its-kind autonomous rapid-slewing satellite for transient astronomy and pioneers the way for future rapid-reaction and multiwavelength missions.
Journal ArticleDOI

The X-Ray Observatory Suzaku

Kazuhisa Mitsuda, +142 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the spacecraft, in-orbit performance, operations, and data processing that are related to observations of the Suzaku X-ray observatory, including high-sensitivity wide-band Xray spectroscopy.
Journal ArticleDOI

ASCA Observations of Seyfert 1 Galaxies. II. Relativistic Iron Kα Emission

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present evidence for widespread relativistic effects in the central regions of active galactic nuclei, showing that a strong red wing is indicative of gravitational redshifts close to a central black hole, and accretion disk models provide an excellent description of the data.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Nature of Accreting Black Holes in Nearby Galaxy Nuclei

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors found compact X-ray sources in the center of 21 (54%) of 39 nearby face-on spiral and elliptical galaxies with available ROSAT HRI data.
Journal ArticleDOI

A short γ-ray burst apparently associated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z = 0.225

Neil Gehrels, +87 more
- 06 Oct 2005 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection of the X-ray afterglow from the short burst GRB 050509B and its location on the sky is near a luminous, non-star-forming elliptical galaxy at a redshift of 0.225.
