A possible phase dependent absorption feature in the transient X-ray pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545
McKinley C. Brumback, Ryan C. Hickox, Felix S. Fürst +5
We present an X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two observations of the transient Be X-ray binary SAX J2103.5+4545 during its April 2016 outburst, which was characteri…
Photogravimagnetic assists of light sails: a mixed blessing for Breakthrough Starshot?
Duncan H. Forgan, René Heller, Michael Hippke
Upon entering a star system, light sails are subject to both gravitational forces and radiation pressure, and can use both in concert to modify their trajectory. Moreover, stars po…
An unusual white dwarf star may be a surviving remnant of a subluminous Type Ia supernova
S. Vennes, P. Nemeth, A. Kawka +4
Subluminous Type Ia supernovae, such as the Type Iax class prototype SN 2002cx, are described by a variety of models such as the failed detonation and partial deflagration of an ac…
A deep X-ray view of the bare AGN Ark120. IV. XMM-Newton and NuSTAR spectra dominated by two temperature (warm, hot) Comptonization processes
D. Porquet, J. N. Reeves, G. Matt +16
We perform an X-ray spectral analysis of the brightest and cleanest bare AGN known so far, Ark 120, in order to determine the process(es) at work in the vicinity of the SMBH. We pr…
Looking at A 0535+26 at low luminosities with NuSTAR
Ralf Ballhausen, Katja Pottschmidt, Felix Fürst +12
We report on two NuSTAR observations of the HMXB A 0535+26 taken toward the end of its normal 2015 outburst at very low keV luminosities of erg/s an…
Interstellar communication. II. Application to the solar gravitational lens
Michael Hippke
We have shown in paper I of this series (arXiv:1706.03795) that interstellar communication to nearby (pc) stars is possible at data rates of bits per second per Watt between a 1 m…
