Evidence for Millihertz Oscillations in the bright atoll source GX 3+1
Malu Sudha, Renee M. Ludlam, Diego Altamirano +2
We report evidence for millihertz (mHz) QPOs in the bright atoll neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS LMXB) source GX 3+1 using NICER in the 0.5--10 keV energy band. Across 7 obs…
The 2025 outburst of IGR J17511-3057: timing and spectral insights from NICER and NuSTAR
A. Sanna, G. K. Jaisawal, T. E. Strohmayer +13
IGR J17511-3057 was observed in a new outburst phase starting in February 2025 and lasting at least nine days. We investigated the spectral and temporal properties of IGR J17511-30…
The 2020 Superburst of 4U 1608-522 and its impact on the accretion disk
Tugba Boztepe, Tolga Guver, Elif Ece Devecioglu +9
Superbursts are rare events observed from bursting neutron star low mass X-ray binaries. They are thought to originate from unstable burning of the thick layer of Carbon on the sur…
On the Origin of Spectral Features Observed during Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts and in the Aftermath Emission of a Long Burst from 4U 1820-30
Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Jérôme Chenevez, Tod E. Strohmayer +6
We study 15 thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1820--30 observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). We find evidence of a narrow emission line at 1.0 keV…
A Comprehensive Study of Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts from 4U 1820-30 with NICER: Accretion Disk Interactions and a Candidate Burst Oscillation
Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Z. Funda Bostancı, Tuğba Boztepe +14
We present the results obtained from timing and spectral studies of 15 thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1820-30 observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICE…
A spectro-temporal view of normal branch oscillations in Cygnus X-2 as seen by NICER and NuSTAR
Malu Sudha, Renee M. Ludlam, Diego Altamirano +2
We report the spectro-temporal study of the neutron star low mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2 using NICER and NuSTAR data while the source was in the normal branch (NB). We detect a no…
A Case for a Binary Black Hole System Revealed via Quasi-Periodic Outflows
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Francesco Tombesi, Petra Sukova +33
Binaries containing a compact object orbiting a supermassive black hole are thought to be precursors of gravitational wave events, but their identification has been extremely chall…
Alive but Barely Kicking: News from 3+ years of Swift and XMM-Newton X-ray Monitoring of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions from eRO-QPE1
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Eric R. Coughlin, Michal Zajacek +11
Quasi-periodic Eruptions (QPEs) represent a novel class of extragalactic X-ray transients that are known to repeat at roughly regular intervals of a few hours to days. Their underl…
A NICER Spectrum of MAXI J1535-571: Near-Maximal Black Hole Spin and Potential Disk Warping
J. M. Miller, K. Gendreau, R. M. Ludlam +10
We report on a NICER observation of the Galactic X-ray binary and stellar-mass black hole candidate, MAXI J1535-571. The source was likely observed in an "intermediate" or "very hi…
Swift observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion
S. E. Motta, J. J. E. Kajava, C. Sánchez-Fernández +11
The black-hole binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in June 2015 after 26 years of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution pattern typical of mo…
Phase lags of quasi-periodic oscillations across source states in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53
Marcio G B de Avellar, Mariano Méndez, Diego Altamirano +2
While there are many dynamical mechanisms and models that try to explain the origin and phenomenology of the quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) seen in the X-ray light curves of lo…
