Overview to the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) Satellite
ShuangNan Zhang, TiPei Li, FangJun Lu +127
As China's first X-ray astronomical satellite, the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (HXMT), which was dubbed as Insight-HXMT after the launch on June 15, 2017, is a wide-band (1-250…
Dense matter with eXTP
Anna L. Watts, Wenfei Yu, Juri Poutanen +73
In this White Paper we present the potential of the Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for determining the nature of dense matter; neutron star cores host an extr…
The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP
ShuangNan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Marco Feroci +146
In this paper we present the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission - eXTP. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental physics under extreme conditions of…
Insight-HXMT observations of the first binary neutron star merger GW170817
TiPei Li, ShaoLin Xiong, ShuangNan Zhang +107
Finding the electromagnetic (EM) counterpart of binary compact star merger, especially the binary neutron star (BNS) merger, is critically important for gravitational wave (GW) ast…
Comparing the Super-Eddington accretion of SMC X-3 and RX J0209.6-7427 with Swift J0243.6+6124
Jiren Liu, Georgios Vasilopoulos, MingYu Ge +4
We study the giant outbursts of SMC X-3 and RX J0209.6-7427 to compare their super-Eddington accretion regime with that of Swift J0243.6+6124. The high double-peak profile of SMC X…
