High-Frequency QPOs and Overstable Oscillations of Black-Hole Accretion Disks

Dong Lai, Wen Fu, David Tsang +2

The physical origin of high-frequency QPOs (HFQPOs) in black-hole X-ray binaries remains an enigma despite many years of detailed observational studies. Although there exists a num…

Common Envelope Evolution: Where we stand and how we can move forward

N. Ivanova, S. Justham, X. Chen +16

This work aims to present our current best physical understanding of common-envelope evolution (CEE). We highlight areas of consensus and disagreement, and stress ideas which shoul…

VLBI detection of the Galactic black hole binary candidate MAXI J1836-194

Jun Yang, Yonghua Xu, Zhixuan Li +6

The X-ray transient MAXI J1836-194 is a newly-identified Galactic black hole binary candidate. As most X-ray transients, it was discovered at the beginning of an X-ray outburst. Af…

Testing the 130 GeV gamma-ray line with high energy resolution detectors

Ye Li, Qiang Yuan

Recently some hints of the existence of -ray line around 130 GeV are reported according to the analysis of Fermi-LAT data. If confirmed it would be the first direct evidence to…

The extremely long period X-ray source in a young supernova remnant: a Thorne-Zytkow Object descendant?

X. W. Liu, R. X. Xu, E. P. J. van den Heuvel +4

The origin of the 6.67 hr period X-ray source, 1E161348-5055, in the young supernova remnant RCW 103 is puzzling. We propose that it may be the descendant of a Thorne-Zytkow Object…

The Structure and Spectral Features of a Thin Disk and Evaporation-Fed Corona in High-Luminosity AGNs

J. Y. Liu, B. F. Liu, E. L. Qiao +1

We investigate the accretion process in high-luminosity AGNs (HLAGNs) in the scenario of the disk evaporation model. Based on this model, the thin disk can extend down to the inner…

The Connection between Radio and Gamma Ray Emission in Fermi/LAT Blazars

Fan Xu-Liang, Bai Jin-Ming, Liu Hong-Tao +2

We collect the 2LAC and MOJAVE quasi-simultaneous data to investigate the radio-gamma connection of blazars. The cross sample contains 166 sources. The statistic analysis based on…

Identifying the Location in the Host Galaxy of the Short GRB 111117A with the Chandra Sub-arcsecond Position

T. Sakamoto, E. Troja, K. Aoki +31

We present our successful Chandra program designed to identify, with sub-arcsecond accuracy, the X-ray afterglow of the short GRB 111117A, which was discovered by Swift and Fermi.…

Energy-Dependent GRB Pulse Width due to the Curvature Effect and Intrinsic Band Spectrum

Z. Y. Peng, X. H. Zhao, Y. Yin +2

Previous studies have found that the width of gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulse is energy dependent and that it decreases as a power-law function with increasing photon energy. In this w…

Jitter Self-Compton Process: GeV Emission of GRB 100728A

J. Mao, J. Wang

Jitter radiation, the emission of relativistic electrons in a random and small-scale magnetic field, has been applied to explain the gamma-ray burst (GRB) prompt emission. The seed…

The central engines of two unusual radio-intermediate/quiet active galactic nuclei: III Zw 2 and PG 1407+265

Liang Chen, Xinwu Cao, Jinming Bai

We use the accretion disk/corona+jet model to fit the multi-band spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of two unusual radio-intermediate/quiet quasars. It is found that the optical/…
