Evolution of Spin Period and Magnetic Field of the Crab Pulsar: Decay of the Braking Index by the Particle Wind Flow Torque
Cheng-Min Zhang, Xiang-Han Cui, Di Li +8
The evolutions of a neutron star's rotation and magnetic field (B-field) have remained unsolved puzzles for over half a century. We ascribe the rotational braking torques of pulsar…

NICER observed two outbursts from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U~173022 in 2021 and 2022, which showed a similar spectral evolution in the hardness-intensity diagram.…
Studying the properties of compressible MHD turbulence by synchrotron fluctuation statistics
Ru-Yue Wang, Jian-Fu Zhang, Alex Lazarian +2
We study the observable properties of compressible MHD turbulence covering different turbulence regimes, based on synthetic synchrotron observations arising from 3D MHD numerical s…
Return of 4U~1730--22 after 49 years silence: the peculiar burst properties of the 2021/2022 outbursts observed by Insight-HXMT
Yu-Peng Chen, Shu Zhang, Long Ji +10
After in quiescence for 49 years, 4U~1730--22 became active and had two outbursts in 2021 \& 2022; ten thermonuclear X-ray bursts were detected with Insight-HXMT. Among them, the f…
An Insight-HXMT view of the mHz quasi-regular modulation phenomenon in the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47
Zi-Xu Yang, Liang Zhang, Yue Huang +97
Here we report the spectral-timing results of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 during its 2021 outburst using observations from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope. Type-C qu…
Insight-HXMT discovery of the highest energy CRSF from the first Galactic ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124
Ling-Da Kong, Shu Zhang, Shuang-Nan Zhang +15
The detection of cyclotron resonance scattering features (CRSFs) is the only way to directly and reliably measure the magnetic field near the surface of a neutron star (NS). The br…
Study on the magnetic field strength of NGC 300 ULX1
Y. Y. Pan, Z. S. Li, C. M. Zhang +1
NGC 300 ULX1 is a pulsating ultraluminous X-ray source (PULX) with the longest spin period of and a high spin-up rate of $\dot P\simeq5.56\times10^{-7}\,\rm s\…
Discovery of a 584.65 Hz Burst Oscillation in the Low Mass X-Ray Binary 4U 1730--22
Zhaosheng Li, Wenhui Yu, Yongqi Lu +2
Type-I X-ray burst oscillations are powered by thermonuclear released on the neutron star (NS) surface in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), where the burst oscillation frequencies a…
Revisit the periodicity of SGR J1935+2154 bursts with updated sample
Sheng-Lun Xie, Ce Cai, Shao-Lin Xiong +30
Since FRB 200428 has been found to be associated with an X-ray burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR J1935+2154, it is interesting to explore whether the magnetar bursts also follow…
The Peculiar Precursor of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Binary Merger Involving a Magnetar
Shuo Xiao, Yan-Qiu Zhang, Zi-Pei Zhu +42
The milestone discovery of GW 170817-GRB 170817A-AT 2017gfo has shown that gravitational wave (GW) could be produced during the merger of neutron star-neutron star/black hole and t…
The origin of UV/optical emission in the black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127
Pengcheng Yang, Guobao Zhang, David M. Russell +4
The emission from the accreting black holes (BHs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) covers a broad energy band from radio to X-rays. Studying the correlations between emission in…
Insight-HXMT dedicated 33-day observation of SGR J1935+2154 II. Burst Spectral Catalog
Ce Cai, Shaolin Xiong, Lin Lin +21
Since April 28, 2020, Insight-HXMT has implemented a dedicated observation on the magnetar SGR J1935+2154. Thanks to the wide energy band (1-250 keV) and high sensitivity of Insigh…
