Title: | Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients - A short review | Authors: | SIDOLI, Lara | Issue Date: | 2017 | Journal: | POS PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENCE | Volume: | XII Multifrequency Behaviour of High Energy Cosmic Sources Workshop (MULTIF2017) | Editors: | Giovannelli F.; Sabau-Graziati, L. | Number: | 306 | First Page: | 52 | Abstract: | I present a brief up-to-date review of the current understanding of Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients, with an emphasis on the observational point of view. After more than a decade since their discovery, a remarkable progress has been made in getting the picture of their phenomenology at X-ray energies. However, a similar in-depth investigation of the properties of the supergiant companions is needed, but has started more recently. A multifrequency approach is the key to fully understand the physical mechanism driving the SFXT behaviour, still under debate. | Conference Name: | XII Multifrequency Behaviour of High Energy Cosmic Sources Workshop | Conference Place: | Palermo | Conference Date: | 12-17 giugno, 2017 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/27026 | URL: | https://pos.sissa.it/306/052 https://arxiv.org/pdf/1710.03943.pdf |
