Observatory Science with eXTP

Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97

Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…

Discovery of millihertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in the Low Mass X-Ray Binary XTE J1701462 from a Search of the RXTE Legacy data set

Kaho Tse, Duncan K. Galloway, Alexander Heger

We report the detection of millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations ( QPOs) from the low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701462. The discovery came from a search of the lega…

A catalogue of unusually long thermonuclear bursts on neutron stars

Khaled Alizai, Jérôme Chenevez, Andrew Cumming +10

Rare, energetic (long) thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts are classified either as intermediate-duration or superbursts, based on their duration. Intermediate-duration bursts last…

JWST detection of heavy neutron capture elements in a compact object merger

A. Levan, B. P. Gompertz, O. S. Salafia +80

The mergers of binary compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes are of central interest to several areas of astrophysics, including as the progenitors of gamma-ray burs…

GRB 201015A and the nature of low-luminosity soft gamma-ray bursts

M. Patel, B. P. Gompertz, P. T. O'Brien +20

GRB 201015A is a peculiarly low luminosity, spectrally soft gamma-ray burst (GRB), with s (time interval of detection of 90\% of photons from the GRB), a…

Time-independent Simulations of Steady-State Accretion with Nuclear Burning

Kaho Tse, Alexander Heger, Ryosuke Hirai +1

We construct a new formulation that allows efficient exploration of steady-state accretion processes onto compact objects. Accretion onto compact objects is a common scenario in as…
