SWIFT J1753.5−0127: a surprising optical/X-ray cross-correlation function
We have conducted optical and X-ray simultaneous observations of SWIFT J1753.5−0127 with RXTE and ULTRACAM, while the system persisted in its relatively bright low/hard state. In the cross-correlation function (CCF), we find that the optical leads the X-rays by a few seconds with a broad negative peak, and has a smaller positive peak at positive lags. This is markedly different from what was se...
متن کاملThe Swift X-ray Telescope
The Swift Gamma-Ray Explorer is designed to make prompt multiwavelength observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and GRB afterglows. The X-ray Telescope (XRT) enables Swift to determine GRB positions with a few arcseconds accuracy within 100 seconds of the burst onset. The XRT utilizes a mirror set built for JET-X and an XMM-Newton/EPIC MOS CCD detector to provide a sensitive broad-band (0.2-10 ...
متن کاملTesting the gamma-ray burst variability/peak luminosity correlation on a Swift homogeneous sample
We test the gamma-ray burst correlation between temporal variability and peak luminosity of the γ-ray profile on a homogeneous sample of 36 Swift/BAT GRBs with firm redshift determination. This is the first time that this correlation can be tested on a homogeneous data sample. The correlation is confirmed, as long as the 6 GRBs with low luminosity (< 5× 10 erg s in the rest-frame 100-1000 keV e...
متن کاملThe soft X - ray Cluster - AGN spatial cross - correlation function in the ROSAT - NEP survey
Context. X-ray surveys facilitate investigations of the environment of AGNs. Deep Chandra observations revealed that the AGNs source surface density rises near clusters of galaxies. The natural extension of these works is the measurement of spatial clustering of AGNs around clusters and the investigation of relative biasing between active galactic nuclei and galaxies near clusters. Aims. The ma...
متن کاملDetailed Analysis of the Cross-Correlation Function between the X-Ray Background and Foreground Galaxies
Recent ROSAT surveys suggest that galaxies can constitute the new class of faint sources required to explain the full phenomenology of the cosmic X-Ray Background (XRB). To test this hypothesis without resorting to optical identifications, we compute the two-point cross-correlation function (CCF) estimator Wxg(θ) between 62 EinsteinIPC fields (.81-3.5 keV) and the APM Northern galaxy catalog (1...
