Mixed H/He bursts in SAX J1748.9-2021 during the spectral change of its 2015 outburst
Zhaosheng Li, V. De Falco, M. Falanga +6
SAX J1748.9-2021 is a transiently accreting X-ray millisecond pulsar. It is also known as an X-ray burster source discovered by Beppo-SAX. We analysed the persistent emission and t…
Neutrino Losses in Type I Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts: An Improved Nuclear Energy Generation Approximation
Adelle J. Goodwin, Alexander Heger, Duncan K. Galloway
Type I X-ray bursts are thermonuclear explosions on the surface of accreting neutron stars. Hydrogen rich X-ray bursts burn protons far from the line of stability and can release e…
Rotational variation of the linear polarisation of the asteroid (3200) Phaethon as evidence for inhomogeneity in its surface properties
G. Borisov, M. Devogèle, A. Cellino +23
Asteroid (3200) Phaethon is a Near-Earth Apollo asteroid with an unusual orbit that brings it closer to the Sun than any other known asteroid. Its last close approach to the Earth…
A telescope control and scheduling system for the Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Martin Dyer, Vik Dhillon, Stuart Littlefair +5
The Gravitational-wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO) is a wide-field telescope project aimed at detecting optical counterparts to gravitational wave sources. The prototype inst…
Precision ephemerides for gravitational-wave searches -- III. Revised system parameters of Sco X-1
L. Wang, D. Steeghs, D. K. Galloway +2
Neutron stars in low-mass X-ray binaries are considered promising candidate sources of continuous gravitational-waves. These neutron stars are typically rotating many hundreds of t…
The Influence of Stellar Spin on Ignition of Thermonuclear Runaways
Duncan K. Galloway, Jean J. M. in 't Zand, Jérôme Chenevez +7
Runaway thermonuclear burning of a layer of accumulated fuel on the surface of a compact star provides a brief but intense display of stellar nuclear processes. For neutron stars a…
