XRISM/Resolve observations of Hercules X-1: a pulsating, highly broadened Fe K emission line from the neutron star accretion column
Peter Kosec, Laura Brenneman, Erin Kara +11
The study of X-ray pulsar accretion columns helps us characterize accretion physics in this extreme regime of strong gravity and strong magnetic fields. Previous observations of th…
The giant outburst of EXO 2030+375 II: Broadband spectroscopy and evolution
R. Ballhausen, P. Thalhammer, P. Pradhan +13
In 2021, the high-mass X-ray binary EXO 2030+375 underwent a giant X-ray outburst, the first since 2006, that reached a peak flux of (3-50\,keV). The go…
The giant outburst of EXO 2030+375 I: Spectral and pulse profile evolution
P. Thalhammer, R. Ballhausen, E. Sokolova-Lapa +12
The Be X-ray binary EXO 2030+375 went through its third recorded giant outburst from June 2021 to early 2022. We present the results of both spectral and timing analysis based on N…
Constraining the Number Density of the Accretion Disk Wind in Hercules X-1 Using its Ionization Response to X-ray Pulsations
P. Kosec, D. Rogantini, E. Kara +6
X-ray binaries are known to launch powerful accretion disk winds that can have significant impact on the binary systems and their surroundings. To quantify the impact and determine…
Accretion disk wind of Hercules X-1 during the Short High state
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +5
Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on X-ray binary with a warped, precessing accretion disk, which manifests through a 35-day cycle of alternating High and Low flux states. This disk pr…
Vertical wind structure in an X-ray binary revealed by a precessing accretion disk
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11
The accretion of matter onto black holes and neutron stars often leads to the launching of outflows that can greatly affect the environments surrounding the compact object. In supe…
The long stare at Hercules X-1 -- I. Emission lines from the outer disk, the magnetosphere boundary and the accretion curtain
P. Kosec, E. Kara, A. C. Fabian +11
Hercules X-1 is a nearly edge-on accreting X-ray pulsar with a warped accretion disk, precessing with a period of about 35 days. The disk precession allows for unique and changing…
Luminosity dependence of the cyclotron line energy in 1A 0535+262 observed by Insight-HXMT during 2020 giant outburst
L. D. Kong, S. Zhang, L. Ji +11
We report on a detailed spectral analysis of the transient X-ray pulsar 1A~0535+262, which underwent the brightest giant outburst ever recorded for this source from November to Dec…
SRGA J124404.1-632232/SRGU J124403.8-632231: a new X-ray pulsar discovered in the all-sky survey by SRG
V. Doroshenko, R. Staubert, C. Maitra +12
Ongoing all-sky surveys by the the eROSITA and the Mikhail Pavlinsky ART-XC telescopes on-board the Spectrum Roentgen Gamma (SRG) mission have already revealed over a million of X-…
Insight-HXMT firm detection of the highest energy fundamental cyclotron resonance scattering feature in the spectrum of GRO J1008-57
M. Y. Ge, L. Ji, S. N. Zhang +118
We report on the observation of the accreting pulsar GRO J1008-57 performed by Insight-HXMT at the peak of the source's 2017 outburst. Pulsations are detected with a spin period of…
Constant cyclotron line energy in Hercules X-1 -- Joint Insight-HXMT and NuSTAR observations
G. C. Xiao, L. Ji, R. Staubert +108
The long-term evolution of the centroid energy of the CRSF in Her X-1 is still a mystery. We report a new measurement from a campaign between {\sl Insight}-HXMT and {\sl NuSTAR} pe…
A double-peaked outburst of A 0535+26 observed with INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Suzaku
I. Caballero, K. Pottschmidt, D. M. Marcu +18
The Be/X-ray binary A 0535+26 showed a normal (type I) outburst in August 2009. It is the fourth in a series of normal outbursts associated with the periastron, but is unusual by p…
