The 100-month<i>Swift</i>catalogue of supergiant fast X-ray transients

We investigate the characteristics of bright flares for a sample of supergiant fast X-ray transients and their relation to the orbital phase. We have retrieved all Swift/BAT Transient Monitor light curves, and collected all detections in excess of $5\sigma$ from both daily- and orbital-averaged light curves in the time range …
