Integral Upper Limits on Gamma-ray Emission Associated with the Gravitational Wave Event Gw150914
Using observations of the INTErnational Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory (INTEGRAL), we place upper limits on the gamma-ray and hard X-ray prompt emission associated with the gravitational wave event GW150914, which was discovered by the LIGO/Virgo Collaboration. The omnidirectional view of the INTEGRAL/SPI-ACS has allowed us to constrain the fraction of energy emitted in the hard X-ray electr...
متن کاملUpper Limits on the X-ray Emission of “Uranium” Stars
A paper by Qian & Wasserburg suggests the optical absorption lines of uranium observed in the spectra of ultra-metal-poor stars (defined as [Fe/H] <-3) arise from contamination from a supernova in a binary star system. Assuming the binary survived the explosion, a collapsed compact object may be present and implying potential accretion processes with accompanying X-ray emission. Upper limits on...
متن کاملResponse Builders of MAXI X-ray Slit Cameras and Simulator
MAXI, an all-sky X-ray monitor to be on-board on the ISS (International Space Station), carries two kinds of X-ray cameras: GSC (Gas Slit Camera) and SSC (Solid-state Slit Camera). Both X-ray cameras are scanning imagers combining position-sensitive detectors and collimators with one-dimensional FOV (field of view). They covers 90% of the whole sky every 90 minutes of the ISS orbital period. Th...
متن کاملMaxi, Lofar and Microquasars – All-sky Monitoring of X-ray Binaries in X-rays and Radio –
In this paper I will discuss future synergies between the Japanese MAXI X-ray all-sky monitor, to be placed on the International Space Station in 2009, and the next-generation radio astronomy array LOFAR, currenlty under construction in The Netherlands. The wide fields of view and multiple beams of LOFAR will allow, in combination with MAXI, simultaneous all-sky monitoring of the sky in both th...
