A NICER Discovery of a Low-Frequency Quasi-Periodic Oscillation in the Soft-Intermediate State of MAXI J1535-571

A. L. Stevens, P. Uttley, D. Altamirano +17

We present the discovery of a low-frequency Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) feature in observations of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 in its soft-inte…

NICER Observes the Effects of an X-Ray Burst on the Accretion Environment in Aql X-1

L. Keek, Z. Arzoumanian, P. Bult +18

Accretion disks around neutron stars regularly undergo sudden strong irradiation by Type I X-ray bursts powered by unstable thermonuclear burning on the stellar surface. We investi…

Detection of Reflection Features in the Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binary Serpens X-1 with NICER

R. M. Ludlam, J. M. Miller, Z. Arzoumanian +17

We present Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1 during the early mission phase in 2017. With the hi…
