New flaring of an ultraluminous X-ray source in NGC1365
We have studied a highly variable ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the Fornax galaxy NGC1365, with a series of 12 Chandra and XMM-Newton observations between 2002 and 2006. In 2006 April, the source peaked at a luminosity ≈ 3 × 10 erg s in the 0.3–10 keV band (similar to the maximum luminosity found by ASCA in 1995), and declined on an e-folding timescale ≈ 3 days. The X-ray spectrum is alwa...
متن کاملA Flaring X-ray Source with an Hα-bright Counterpart toward the Smc
We report the discovery of a flaring X-ray source with an optical counterpart with Hα emission and red-excess, in the direction of the SMC. A 100 ksec X-ray observation with Chandra detected a flare lasting ∼6 ksec in the source CXO J005428.9-723107. The X-ray spectrum during the flare was consistent with a thermal plasma of temperature kT=2.5±0.4 keV. In quiescence following the flare the spec...
متن کاملDetection of High-energy Gamma-ray Emission during the X-ray Flaring Activity in Grb 100728a
We present the simultaneous Swift and Fermi observations of the bright GRB 100728A and its afterglow. The early X-ray emission is dominated by a vigorous flaring activity continuing until 1 ks after the burst. In the same time interval high energy emission is significantly detected by the Fermi/LAT. Marginal evidence of GeV emission is observed up to later times. We discuss the broadband proper...
متن کاملX-ray flaring activity of Markarian 421
We report results from a systematic search for X-ray flares from Mrk 421, using archival data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. The flares are clearly seen over a wide range of timescales. The quasicontinuous coverage of the source with the All-SkyMonitor (ASM) reveals frequent occurrence of major flares that last for months. On a few occasions, the source was intensively m...
متن کاملA new strongly X - ray flaring M 9 dwarf in the solar neighborhood ⋆
We report on the discovery of a very low mass (VLM) star in the solar neighborhood, originally identified as an optical counterpart of a flaring X−ray source detected in the ROSAT All-Sky survey. Optical spectroscopy and infrared photometry consistently reveal a spectral type of M 9 ± 0.5 and a distance of ≈ 11± 2 pc. The optical counterpart of 1RXS J115928.5−524717 shows a large proper motion ...
