Simultaneous X-ray and Infrared Observations of Sagittarius A*'s Variability

H. Boyce, D. Haggard, G. Witzel +11

Emission from Sgr A* is highly variable at both X-ray and infrared (IR) wavelengths. Observations over the last ~20 years have revealed X-ray flares that rise above a quiescent the…

Observatory science with eXTP

Jean J. M. in 't Zand, Enrico Bozzo, Jinlu Qu +181

In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring s…

FRB 121102 Bursts Show Complex Time-Frequency Structure

J. W. T. Hessels, L. G. Spitler, A. D. Seymour +23

FRB 121102 is the only known repeating fast radio burst source. Here we analyze a wide-frequency-range (1-8 GHz) sample of high-signal-to-noise, coherently dedispersed bursts detec…

Probing type Ia supernova properties using bolometric light curves from the Carnegie Supernova Project and the CfA Supernova Group

Richard A. Scalzo, Emilie Parent, Christopher Burns +11

We present bolometric light curves constructed from multi-wavelength photometry of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) from the Carnegie Supernova Project and the CfA Supernova Group, usin…

On the structure and energetics of quasar broad absorption-line outflows

Fred Hamann, Hanna Herbst, Isabelle Paris +1

Quasar accretion-disk outflows might play an important role in galaxy evolution, but they are notoriously difficult to study due to line saturation and blending problems in the Ly-…

Consistent accretion-induced heating of the neutron-star crust in MXB 1659-29 during two different outbursts

A. S. Parikh, R. Wijnands, L. S. Ootes +10

Monitoring the cooling of neutron-star crusts heated during accretion outbursts allows us to infer the physics of the dense matter present in the crust. We examine the crust coolin…
