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…
NICER and Fermi GBM Observations of the First Galactic Ultraluminous X-ray Pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124
C. A. Wilson-Hodge, C. Malacaria, P. A. Jenke +19
Swift J0243.6+6124 is a newly discovered Galactic Be/X-ray binary, revealed in late September 2017 in a giant outburst with a peak luminosity of 2E+39 (d/7 kpc)^2 erg/s (0.1-10 keV…
A Persistent Disk Wind in GRS 1915+105 with NICER
Joey Neilsen, E. Cackett, R. A. Remillard +13
The bright, erratic black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 has long been a target for studies of disk instabilities, radio/infrared jets, and accretion disk winds, with implications…
A NICER look at the Aql X-1 hard state
Peter Bult, Zaven Arzoumanian, Edward M. Cackett +16
We report on a spectral-timing analysis of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Aql~X-1 with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) on the International Space Sta…
