Coronal properties of black hole X-ray binaries in the hard state as seen by NuSTAR and Swift
Zhen Yan, Fu-guo Xie, Wenda Zhang
In this work, we measure two important phenomenological parameters of corona (and hot accretion flow) in black hole X-ray binaries: the photon index and the electron temperatur…
An Oppositeness in the Cosmology: Distribution of the Gamma-Ray Bursts and the Cosmological Principle
Attila Meszaros
The Cosmological Principle is the assumption that the universe is spatially homogeneous and isotropic in the large-scale average. In year 1998 the author, together with his two col…
A NICER view of PSR J0030+0451: evidence for a global-scale multipolar magnetic field
Anna V. Bilous, Anna L. Watts, Alice K. Harding +8
Recent modeling of NICER observations of thermal X-ray pulsations from the surface of the isolated millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451 suggests that the hot emitting regions on the p…
A NICER view of PSR J0030+0451: Implications for the dense matter equation of state
G. Raaijmakers, T. E. Riley, A. L. Watts +14
Both the mass and radius of the millisecond pulsar PSR J0030+0451 have been inferred via pulse-profile modeling of X-ray data obtained by NASA's NICER mission. In this Letter we st…
A NICER View of PSR J0030+0451: Millisecond Pulsar Parameter Estimation
Thomas E. Riley, Anna L. Watts, Slavko Bogdanov +13
We report on Bayesian parameter estimation of the mass and equatorial radius of the millisecond pulsar PSR J00300451, conditional on pulse-profile modeling of Neutron Star Inter…
Low-frequency radio absorption in Tycho's supernova remnant
Maria Arias, Jacco Vink, Ping Zhou +3
Tycho's SNR is the remnant of the type Ia supernova explosion SN1572. In this work we present new low-frequency radio observations with the LOFAR Low-Band and High-Band Antennae, c…
Optical, J, and K light curves of XTE J1118+480 = KV UMa: the mass of the black hole and the spectrum of the non-stellar component
A. M. Cherepashchuk, N. A. Katysheva, T. S. Khruzina +3
Optical, J, and K photometric observations of the KV UMa black hole X-ray nova in its quiescent state obtained in 2017-2018 are presented. A significant flickering within light cur…
Rapidly evolving disk-jet coupling during re-brightenings in the black hole transient MAXI J1535-571
A. S. Parikh, T. D. Russell, R. Wijnands +3
The main outburst of the candidate black hole low-mass X-ray binary (BH LMXB) MAXI J1535-571 ended in 2018 May and was followed by at least five episodes of re-brightenings. We hav…
Ultraluminous X-ray sources with flat-topped noise and QPO
K. Atapin, S. Fabrika, M. D. Caballero-Garcia
We analyzed the X-ray power density spectra of five ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) NGC5408 X-1, NGC6946 X-1, M82 X-1, NGC1313 X-1 and IC342 X-1 that are the only ULXs which dis…
Constraining the size of the corona with fully relativistic calculations of spectra of extended corona. I - the Monte Carlo radiative transfer code
Wenda Zhang, Michal Dovčiak, Michal Bursa
The size and geometry of the X-ray emitting corona in AGNs are still not well constrained. Dovčiak & Done (2016) proposed a method based on calculations assuming a point-like lamp-…
Electromagnetic Window into the Dawn of Black Holes
Zoltán Haiman, William N. Brandt, Alexey Vikhlinin +28
Massive 10^6-10^10 Msun black holes (BHs) are ubiquitous in local galactic nuclei. They were common by the time the Universe is several Gyr old, and many of them were in place with…
A sample of low energy bursts from FRB 121102
K. Gourdji, D. Michilli, L. G. Spitler +4
We present 41 bursts from the first repeating fast radio burst discovered (FRB 121102). A deep search has allowed us to probe unprecedentedly low burst energies during two consecut…
