Large-Scale Spiral Structure of the Milky Way Traced by Young Classical Cepheids

Z. H. Lin, C. J. Hao, D. J. Liu +5

Using 985 classical Cepheids younger than 100 Myr, we investigate the large-scale spiral structure of the Milky Way by comparing their spatial and kinematic distributions with the…

XRF 241001A/SN 2024aiiq: A faint soft X-ray transient detected by SVOM with a broad-line type Ic supernova revealed by JWST

B. Schneider, M. Brunet, B. P. Gompertz +61

X-ray flashes (XRFs) are a type of gamma-ray burst (GRB) with prompt emission predominantly below 30 keV and have been poorly detected by previous missions. The advent of the SVOM…

Diagnostic of the spectral properties of Aquila X-1 by Insight-HXMT snapshots during the early propeller phase

C. Güngör, M. Y. Ge, S. Zhang +108

We study the 2018 outburst of Aql X-1 via the monitor of all sky X-ray image (MAXI) data. We show that the outburst starting in February 2018 is a member of short-low class in the…
