Constraining white dwarf mass and magnetic field strength of a new intermediate polar through X-ray observations
Benjamin Vermette, Ciro Salcedo, Kaya Mori +9
We report a broad-band analysis of a Galactic X-ray source, CXOGBS J174517.0-321356 (J1745), with a 614-second periodicity. Chandra discovered the source in the direction of the Ga…
A Broadband X-ray Investigation of Fast-Spinning Intermediate Polar CTCV J2056-3014
Ciro Salcedo, Kaya Mori, Gabriel Bridges +5
We report on XMM-Newton, NuSTAR, and NICER X-ray observations of CTCV J2056-3014, a cataclysmic variable (CV) with one of the fastest-spinning white dwarfs (WDs) at P = 29.6 s. Whi…
Broadband X-ray observations of the periodic optical source ZTF J185139.81+171430.3 and its identification as a massive intermediate polar
Ren Deng, Kaya Mori, Eric Miao +5
We present X-ray observations of the periodic optical source ZTF J185139.81+171430.3 (hereafter ZTF J1851) by the XMM, NICER and NuSTAR telescopes. The source was initially specula…
Large-scale detector testing for the GAPS Si(Li) Tracker
Mengjiao Xiao, Achim Stoessl, Brandon Roach +17
Lithium-drifted silicon [Si(Li)] has been used for decades as an ionizing radiation detector in nuclear, particle, and astrophysical experiments, though such detectors have frequen…
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) Antarctic Balloon Payload
The GAPS Collaboration, Kazutaka Aoyama, Tsuguo Aramaki +65
The General Antiparticle Spectrometer (GAPS) is an Antarctic stratospheric balloon mission designed to provide unmatched sensitivity to low-energy (<0.25 GeV/n) cosmic-ray antiprot…
NuSTAR broadband X-ray observation of EF Eri following its reawakening into a high accretion state
Luke W. Filor, Kaya Mori, Gabriel Bridges +7
We present the first NuSTAR X-ray observation of EF Eri, a well-known polar system. The NuSTAR observation was conducted in conjunction with NICER, shortly after EF Eri entered a h…
