NICER observations of type-I X-ray bursts from the ultra-compact X-ray binary M15 X-2
MarÃa Alejandra DÃaz Teodori, Jari J. E. Kajava, Celia Sánchez-Fernández +3
Type-I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions caused by the unstable burning of accreted material on the surface of neutron stars. We report the detection of seven type-I X-ray…
The variable radio jet of the accreting neutron star the Rapid Burster
J. van den Eijnden, D. Robins, R. Sharma +5
The Rapid Burster is a unique neutron star low-mass X-ray binary system, showing both thermonuclear Type-I and accretion-driven Type-II X-ray bursts. Recent studies have demonstrat…
Thermonuclear explosions on neutron stars reveal the speed of their jets
Thomas D. Russell, Nathalie Degenaar, Jakob van den Eijnden +6
Relativistic jets are observed from accreting and cataclysmic transients throughout the Universe, and have a profound affect on their surroundings. Despite their importance, their…
ESA Science Programme Missions: Contributions and Exploitation -- INTEGRAL Observing Time Proposals
Erik Kuulkers, Celia Sanchez-Fernandez, Arvind N. Parmar
We examine the outcomes of the regular announcements of observing opportunities for ESA's gamma-ray observatory INTEGRAL issued between 2000 and 2021. We investigate how success ra…
