Simultaneous X-ray and radio observations of the radio-mode switching pulsar PSR B1822-09

W. Hermsen, L. Kuiper, J. W. T. Hessels +7

We report on simultaneous X-ray and radio observations of the radio-mode-switching pulsar PSR B1822-09 with ESA's XMM-Newton and the WSRT, GMRT and Lovell radio telescopes. PSR B18…

Transition from Fireball to Poynting-flux-dominated Outflow in Three-Episode GRB 160625B

B. -B. Zhang, B. Zhang, A. J. Castro-Tirado +51

The ejecta composition is an open question in gamma-ray bursts (GRB) physics. Some GRBs possess a quasi-thermal spectral component in the time-resolved spectral analysis, suggestin…

Constraining models of twin peak quasi-periodic oscillations with realistic neutron star equations of state

Gabriel Török, Kateřina Goluchová, Martin Urbanec +8

Twin-peak quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are observed in the X-ray power-density spectra of several accreting low-mass neutron star (NS) binaries. In our previous work we have…

The accretion rate dependence of burst oscillation amplitude

Laura S. Ootes, Anna L. Watts, Duncan K. Galloway +1

Neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries exhibit oscillations during thermonuclear bursts, attributed to asymmetric brightness patterns on the burning surfaces. All models that hav…

On the Connection of Gamma-Ray Bursts and X-Ray Flashes in the BATSE and RHESSI Databases

Jakub Řípa, Attila Mészáros

Classification of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) into groups has been intensively studied by various statistical tests in previous years. It has been suggested that there was a distinct g…

An accreting pulsar with extreme properties drives an ultraluminous x-ray source in NGC 5907

G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore, L. Stella +20

Ultraluminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in nearby galaxies shine brighter than any X-ray source in our Galaxy. ULXs are usually modeled as stellar-mass black holes (BHs) accreting at ve…

Magnetar-like activity from the central compact object in the SNR RCW103

Nanda Rea, Alice Borghese, Paolo Esposito +4

The 6.67 hr periodicity and the variable X-ray flux of the central compact object (CCO) at the center of the SNR RCW 103, named 1E 161348-5055, have been always difficult to interp…

Optical counterparts of two ultraluminous X-ray sources NGC4559 X-10 and NGC4395 ULX-1

A. Vinokurov, S. Fabrika, K. Atapin

We study the optical counterparts of ultraluminous X-ray sources NGC4559 X-10 and NGC4395 ULX-1. Their absolute magnitudes, after taking the reddening into account, are $M_V \appro…
