    • GRB 081028 and its late-time afterglow re-brightening 

      Margutti, R.; Genet, F.; Granot, J.; Duran, R.B.; Guidorzi, C.; Chincarini, G.; Mao, J.; Schady, P.; Sakamoto, T.; Miller, A.A.; Olofsson, G.; Bloom, J.S.; Evans, P.A.; Fynbo, J.; Malesani, D.; Moretti, A.; Pasotti, F.; Starr, D.; Burrows, D.N.; Barthelmy, S.; Roming, P.W.A.; Gehrels, N. (2010)
      Swift captured for the first time a smoothly rising X-ray re-brightening of clear non-flaring origin after the steep decay in a long gamma-ray burst (GRB): GRB 081028. A rising phase is likely present in all GRBs but is ...

    • Radiative and dynamic effects of absorbing aerosol particles over the Pearl River Delta, China 

      Wendisch, M.; Hellmuth, O.; Ansmann, A.; Heintzenberg, J.; Engelmann, R.; Althausen, D.; Eichler, H.; Mueller, D.; Hu, M.; Zhang, Y.; Mao, J. (2008-08)
      Results are reported from a ground-based measurement campaign conducted in a highly polluted region in southeast of China in October-November 2004. The experiment focused on absorbing aerosol particles and their effects ...

    • Rise and fall of the X-ray flash 080330: an off-axis jet? 

      Guidorzi, C.; Clemens, C.; Kobayashi, S.; Granot, J.; Melandri, A.; D'Avanzo, P.; Kuin, N.P.M.; Klotz, A.; Fynbo, J.; Covino, S.; Greiner, J.; Malesani, D.; Mao, J.; Mundell, C.G.; Steele, I.A.; Jakobsson, P.; Margutti, R.; Bersier, D.; Campana, S.; Chincarini, G.; D'Elia, V.; Fugazza, D.; Genet, F.; Gomboc, A.; Kruhler, T.; Yoldas, A.K.; Moretti, A.; Mottram, C.J.; O'Brien, P.T.; Smith, R.J.; Szokoly, G.; Tagliaferri, G.; Tanvir, N.; Gehrels, N. (2009)
      Context. X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a class of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with a peak energy of the time-integrated spectrum, , typically below 30 keV, whereas classical GRBs have of a few hundreds of keV. Apart from and the ...

    • Transient obscuration event captured in NGC 3227. I. Continuum model for the broadband spectral energy distribution 

      Mehdipour, M.; Kriss, G. A.; Kaastra, J. S.; Wang, Y.; Mao, J.; Costantini, E.; Arav, N.; Behar, E.; Bianchi, S.; Branduardi-Raymont, G.; Brotherton, M.; Cappi, M.; Marco, B. De; Gesu, L. Di; Ebrero, J.; Grafton-Waters, S.; Kaspi, S.; Matt, G.; Paltani, S.; Petrucci, P. -O.; Pinto, C.; Ponti, G.; Ursini, F.; Walton, D. J. (2021-06-28)
      From Swift monitoring of a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) we found a transient X-ray obscuration event in Seyfert-1 galaxy NGC 3227, and thus triggered our joint XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) ...
