XMM-Newton observations of the supergiant fast X-ray transients XTE J1739-302, IGR J08408-4503 and IGR J18410-0535

Abstract

We report here on the XMM-Newton observations of the three supergiant fast X-ray transients (SFXT) XTE J1739-302, IGR J08408-4503, and IGR J18410-0535. Forthe latter source we only discuss some preliminary results of our data analysis. Some interpretation is provided for the timing and spectral behavior of the three sources in terms of the different theoretical models proposed so far to interpret the behavior of the SFXTs. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial- ShareAlike Licence.
