Correlations in Horizontal Branch Oscillations and Break Components in XTE J1701-462 and GX 17+2

Qing-cui Bu, Li Chen, Zhao-sheng Li +3

We studied the horizontal branch oscillations (HBO) and the band-limited components observed in the power spectra of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-462…

Strong gravitational lensing of gravitational waves from double compact binaries - perspectives for the Einstein Telescope

Marek Biesiada, Xuheng Ding, Aleksandra Piorkowska +1

Gravitational wave (GW) experiments are entering their advanced stage which should soon open a new observational window on the Universe. Looking into this future, the Einstein Tele…

Towards an understanding of the force-free magnetosphere of rapidly spinning black holes

Fan Zhang, Huan Yang, Luis Lehner

The ability of a plasma surrounding spinning black holes to extract rotational energy and power energetic emissions has been recognized as a key astrophysical phenomenon. Important…

An Ultra Low Mass and Small Radius Compact Object in 4U 1746-37?

Zhaosheng Li, Zhijie Qu, Li Chen +3

Photospheric radius expansion (PRE) bursts have already been used to constrain the masses and radii of neutron stars. RXTE observed three PRE bursts in 4U 1746-37, all with low tou…

The accretion rate independence of horizontal branch oscillation in XTE J1701-462

Zhaosheng Li, Li Chen, Jinlu Qu +3

We study the temporal and energy spectral properties of the unique neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701-462. After assuming the HB/NB vertex as a reference position of accr…

Cross-correlations between soft and hard light curves depending on luminosity in the transient neutron star XTE J1701-462

Ya-Nan Wang, Ya-Juan Lei, Guo-Qiang Ding +5

Using all the observations from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer for accreting neutron star XTE J1701-462, we carry out a systematic study on the cross-correlation between its soft and…
