Calculating Time Lags From Unevenly-Sampled Light Curves
Abderahmen Zoghbi, Chris Reynolds, Ed Cackett
Timing techniques offer powerful tools to study dynamical astrophysical phenomena. In the X-ray band, they offer the potential of probing accretion physics down to the event horizo…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission
Kirpal Nandra, Didier Barret, Xavier Barcons +237
This White Paper, submitted to the recent ESA call for science themes to define its future large missions, advocates the need for a transformational leap in our understanding of tw…
The ASTRO-H X-ray Observatory
Tadayuki Takahashi, Kazuhisa Mitsuda, Richard Kelley +220
The joint JAXA/NASA ASTRO-H mission is the sixth in a series of highly successful X-ray missions initiated by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS). ASTRO-H will…
The Hot and Energetic Universe: End points of stellar evolution
Christian Motch, Jörn Wilms, Didier Barret +22
White dwarfs, neutron stars and stellar mass black holes are key laboratories to study matter in most extreme conditions of gravity and magnetic field. The unprecedented effective…
STROBE-X: X-ray Timing and Spectroscopy on Dynamical Timescales from Microseconds to Years
Paul S. Ray, Zaven Arzoumanian, David Ballantyne +155
We present the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X), a probe-class mission concept selected for study by NASA. It combines huge collectin…
Revisiting The Spectral and Timing Properties of NGC 4151
Abderahmen Zoghbi, Jon Miller, Ed Cackett
NGC 4151 is the brightest Seyfert 1 nucleus in X-rays. It was the first object to show short time delays in the Fe K band, which were attributed to relativistic reverberation, prov…
