High resolution X-ray spectroscopy of Supergiant HMXB 4U170037 during the compact object eclipse

M. Martínez-Chicharro, V. Grinberg, J. M. Torrejón +6

We present an analysis of the first observation of the iconic High Mass X-ray Binary \so with the \chandra High Energy Transmission Gratings during an X-ray eclipse. The goal of th…

Color-color diagrams as tools for assessment of the variable absorption in high mass X-ray binaries

V. Grinberg, M. A. Nowak, N. Hell

High mass X-ray binaries hold the promise of giving us understanding of the structure of the winds of their supermassive companion stars by using the emission from the compact obje…

Forward Modeling Populations of Flares from Tidal Disruptions of Stars by Super-massive Black Holes

Nathaniel Roth, Sjoert van Velzen, S. Bradley Cenko +1

Detections of the tidal disruption flares (TDFs) of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are rapidly accumulating as optical surveys improve. These detections may provide cons…

MeV Gamma Rays from Fission: A Distinct Signature of Actinide Production in Neutron Star Mergers

Xilu Wang, Nicole Vassh, Trevor Sprouse +4

Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are the first verified sites of rapid neutron capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis, and could emit gamma rays from the radioactive isotopes synthesized i…

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the stellar wind in Vela X-1 during a flare

M. Lomaeva, V. Grinberg, M. Guainazzi +8

We present a 130 ks observation of the prototypical wind-accreting, high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 collected with XMM-Newton at orbital phases between 0.12 and 0.28. A stron…
