2SXPS: An Improved and Expanded Swift X-Ray Telescope Point-source Catalog [PDF]

Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2019
We present the 2SXPS (Swift-XRT Point Source) catalog, containing 206,335 point sources detected by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) in the 0.3–10 keV energy range. This catalog represents a significant improvement over 1SXPS, with double the sky coverage

RHESSI Spectral Fits of Swift GRBs

, 2008
One of the challenges of the Swift era has been accurately determining Epeak for the prompt GRB emission. RHESSI, which is sensitive from 30 keV to 17 MeV, can extend spectral coverage above the Swift-BAT bandpass. Using the public Swift data, we present
