NICER observations of thermonuclear bursts from 4U 1728-34: Detection of oscillations prior to the onset of two bursts

Funda Bostanci, Tugba Boztepe, Tolga Guver +12

We present temporal and time-resolved spectral analyses of all the thermonuclear X-ray bursts observed from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1728-34 with NICER from…

Discovery of Thermonuclear Type-I X-ray Bursts from the X-ray binary MAXI J1807+132

A. C. Albayati, D. Altamirano, G. K. Jaisawal +13

MAXI J1807+132 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) first detected in outburst in 2017. Observations during the 2017 outburst did not allow for an unambiguous identification of the na…

Discovery of thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts in the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with NICER and NuSTAR

D. J. K. Buisson, D. Altamirano, P. Bult +22

Swift J1858.6-0814 is a recently discovered X-ray binary notable for extremely strong variability (by factors in soft X-rays) in its discovery state. We present the detectio…

A strongly changing accretion morphology during the outburst decay of the neutron star X-ray binary 4U 1608-52

J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar, R. M. Ludlam +7

It is commonly assumed that the properties and geometry of the accretion flow in transient low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) significantly change when the X-ray luminosity decays bel…
