NICER observations of thermonuclear bursts from 4U 1728-34: Detection of oscillations prior to the onset of two bursts

Funda Bostanci, Tugba Boztepe, Tolga Guver +12

We present temporal and time-resolved spectral analyses of all the thermonuclear X-ray bursts observed from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1728-34 with NICER from…

The thermonuclear X-ray bursts of 4U 1730-22

Peter Bult, Giulio C. Mancuso, Tod E. Strohmayer +11

We present observations of the historic transient 4U 1730-22 as observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). After remaining in quiescence since its 1972 d…

The X-ray Polarization Probe mission concept

Keith Jahoda, Henric Krawczynski, Fabian Kislat +100

The X-ray Polarization Probe (XPP) is a second generation X-ray polarimeter following up on the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE). The XPP will offer true broadband polarim…

Statistics of X-Ray Polarization Measurements

C. G. Montgomery, J. H. Swank

The polarization of an X-ray beam that produces electrons with velocity components perpendicular to the beam generates an azimuthal distribution of the ejected electrons. We presen…

Timing Studies on X-Per and Discovery of its Transient QPO Feature

Z. Acuner, S. C. Inam, S. Sahiner +3

We present timing analysis of {\emph{RXTE}}-PCA and {\emph{INTEGRAL}}-ISGRI observations of X Per between 1998 and 2010. All pulse arrival times obtained from the {\emph{RXTE}}-PCA…

The Black Hole Binary V4641 Sagitarii: Activity in Quiescence & Improved Mass Determinations

Rachel K. D. MacDonald, Charles D. Bailyn, Michelle Buxton +6

We examine ~10 years of photometric data and find that the black hole X-ray binary V4641 Sgr has two optical states, passive and active, during X-ray quiescence. The passive state…
