Probing multi-band variability and mode switching in the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125
Giulia Illiano, Francesco Coti Zelati, Arianna Miraval Zanon +20
We present the most extensive high-time resolution multi-band campaign to date on the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) 3FGL J1544.6-1125 in the sub-luminous disk st…
A sample of ionised Fe line-emitting X-ray sources in the inner Galactic disc
Samaresh Mondal, Gabriele Ponti, Tong Bao +4
Previous studies suggest that the Galactic diffuse X-ray emission is composed of unresolved point sources, primarily mCVs. However, nearby mCVs have a much lower 6.7 keV line equiv…
The infrared counterpart and proper motion of magnetar SGR0501+4516
A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman +19
Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are highly magnetised neutron stars (magnetars) notable for their gamma-ray and X-ray outbursts. In this paper, we use near-infrared (NIR) imaging of SG…
IXPE detection of highly polarized X-rays from the magnetar 1E 1841-045
Michela Rigoselli, Roberto Taverna, Sandro Mereghetti +12
The Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) observed for the first time highly polarized X-ray emission from the magnetar 1E 1841-045, targeted after a burst-active phase in Augu…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP J005245.1-722843: a rare BeWD binary in the Small Magellanic Cloud?
A. Marino, H. Yang, F. Coti Zelati +32
On May 27 2024, the Wide-field X-ray Telescope onboard the Einstein Probe (EP) mission detected enhanced X-ray emission from a new transient source in the Small Magellanic Cloud (S…
Long-term study of the 2020 magnetar-like outburst of the young pulsar PSRJ1846-0258 in Kes 75
Rajath Sathyaprakash, Nanda Rea, Francesco Coti Zelati +14
Magnetar-like activity has been observed in a large variety of neutron stars. PSR J1846-0258 is a young 327 ms radio-quiet pulsar with a large rotational power ($\sim 8 \times 10^{…
