XRB continuum fitting with sensitive high energy X-ray detectors
M. L. Parker, D. J. K. Buisson, J. A. Tomsick +4
The launch of the Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) heralded a new era of sensitive high energy X-ray spectroscopy for X-ray binaries (XRBs). In this paper we show how…
A New Broadband Spectral State in the Ultraluminous X-ray Source Holmberg IX X-1
D. J. Walton, M. Bachetti, P. Kosec +12
We present a series of five new broadband X-ray observations of the ultraluminous X-ray source Holmberg IX X-1, performed by - and in coordination. The first…
A New Transient Ultraluminous X-ray Source in NGC 7090
D. J. Walton, M. Heida, M. Bachetti +17
We report on the discovery of a new, transient ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) in the galaxy NGC 7090. This new ULX, which we refer to as NGC 7090 ULX3, was discovered via monitor…
The long stare at Hercules X-1 -- I. Emission lines from the outer disk, the magnetosphere boundary and the accretion curtain
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11
Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on accreting X-ray pulsar with a warped accretion disk, precessing with a period of about 35 days. The disk precession allows for unique and changing…
Astro 2020 Science White Paper: Time Domain Studies of Neutron Star and Black Hole Populations: X-ray Identification of Compact Object Types
N. Vulic, A. E. Hornschemeier, V. Antoniou +16
What are the most important conditions and processes governing the growth of stellar-origin compact objects? The identification of compact object type as either black hole (BH) or…
Simultaneous NuSTAR/Chandra observations of the Bursting Pulsar GRO J1744-28 during its third reactivation
G. Younes, C. Kouveliotou, B. W. Grefenstette +21
We report on a 10 ks simultaneous Chandra/HETG-NuSTAR observation of the Bursting Pulsar, GRO J1744-28, during its third detected outburst since discovery and after nearly 18 years…
The Unusual Broadband X-ray Spectral Variability of NGC 1313 X-1 seen with XMMNewton, Chandra and NuSTAR
D. J. Walton, C. Pinto, M. Nowak +19
We present results from the major coordinated X-ray observing program on the ULX NGC 1313 X-1 performed in 2017, combining -, and , focusing on the e…
Discovery of a soft X-ray lag in the Ultraluminous X-ray Source NGC 1313 X-1
E. Kara, C. Pinto, D. J. Walton +14
Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs) provide a unique opportunities to probe the geometry and energetics of super-Eddington accretion. The radiative processes involved in super-Eddin…
