The Mysterious Magnetospheres of Magnetars
Matthew G. Baring, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Peter L. Gonthier +2
Magnetars are the most luminous compact objects in the stellar mass range observed in the Milky Way, with giant flares of hard X-ray power ~10^45 erg/sec being detected from three…
Persistent Emission Properties of SGR J1935+2154 During Its 2020 Active Episode
Ersin Gogus, Matthew G. Baring, Chryssa Kouveliotou +6
We present detailed spectral and temporal characteristics of the persistent X-ray emission of SGR J1935+2154 based on our XMM-Newton and Chandra observations taken in the aftermath…
Polarized Radiation Transfer in Neutron Star Surface Layers
Joseph A. Barchas, Kun Hu, Matthew G. Baring
The study of polarized radiation transfer in the highly-magnetized surface locales of neutron stars is of great interest to the understanding of accreting X-ray pulsars, rotation-p…
XL-Calibur -- a second-generation balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission
Q. Abarr, H. Awaki, M. G. Baring +38
XL-Calibur is a hard X-ray (15-80 keV) polarimetry mission operating from a stabilised balloon-borne platform in the stratosphere. It builds on heritage from the X-Calibur mission,…
Fermi/GBM View of the 2019 and 2020 Burst Active Episodes of SGR J1935+2154
Lin Lin, Ersin Gogus, Oliver J. Roberts +5
We present temporal and time-integrated spectral analyses of 148 bursts from the latest activation of SGR J1935+2154, observed with Fermi/GBM from October 4th 2019 through May 20th…
X-ray Through Very-High-Energy Intrabinary Shock Emission from Black Widows and Redbacks
Christian J. T. van der Merwe, Zorawar Wadiasingh, Christo Venter +2
Black widow and redback systems are compact binaries in which a millisecond pulsar heats and may even ablate its low-mass companion by its intense wind of relativistic particles an…
