Open AccessTime-Delay Cosmography: Measuring the Hubble Constant and Other Cosmological Parameters with Strong Gravitational Lensing
Multiply lensed images of a same source experience a relative time delay in the arrival of photons due to the path length difference and the different gravitational potentials the photons travel through. This ...

SWIFT J195509+261406: Dramatic Flaring Activity from a New Galactic Magnetar
Most of the transient sources that are detected in the gamma-ray sky are produced by extragalactic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, it is known that there are some other astronomical objects that can produce ...

Flares from a candidate Galactic magnetar suggest a missing link to dim isolated neutron stars
Two groups report the observation of optical flares from SWIFT J195509.6+261406, an intriguing X-ray source located in our Galaxy and initially discovered as a γ-ray burst by the orbiting Swift observatory. St...
