Flashing fast: characterising the 2025 outburst of MAXI J1957+032
A. Sanna, G. Illiano, M. C. Baglio +13
MAXI J1957+032 is an accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar that shows brief, recurrent outbursts in an ultra-compact ~1 h orbit. We characterise the 2025 outburst using X-ray timing a…
A mysterious feature in the NICER spectrum of 4U 1820-30: A gravitationally redshifted absorption line?
R. Iaria, T. Di Salvo, A. Anitra +6
A mysterious absorption feature at approximately 3.8 keV has been identified in the NICER spectrum of the low-mass X-ray binary system 4U 1820-30. We interpret this feature as a gr…
The 2025 outburst of IGR J17511-3057: timing and spectral insights from NICER and NuSTAR
A. Sanna, G. K. Jaisawal, T. E. Strohmayer +13
IGR J17511-3057 was observed in a new outburst phase starting in February 2025 and lasting at least nine days. We investigated the spectral and temporal properties of IGR J17511-30…
Time domain astrophysics with transient sources. Delay estimate via Cross Correlation Function techniques
W. Leone, L. Burderi, T. di Salvo +10
The timing analysis of transient events allows for investigating numerous still open areas of modern astrophysics. The article explores all the mathematical and physical tools requ…
On the nature of the X-ray binary transient MAXI J1834-021: clues from its first observed outburst
A. Manca, A. Marino, A. Borghese +14
MAXI J1834-021 is a new X-ray transient that was discovered in February 2023. We analysed the spectral and timing properties of MAXI J1834-021 using NICER, NuStar and Swift data co…
Unveiling the reflection spectrum in the ultracompact LMXB 4U 1820-30
A. Anitra, A. Gnarini, T. Di Salvo +12
4U 1820-30 is a ultracompact X-ray binary located in the globular cluster NGC 6624, consisting of a neutron star accreting material from a helium white dwarf companion characterize…
X-ray spectral fitting with Monte Carlo Dropout Neural Networks
A. Tutone, A. Anitra, E. Ambrosi +11
We present a novel approach using neural networks to recover X-ray spectral model parameters and quantify uncertainties, balancing accuracy and computational efficiency against tra…
HERMES Pathfinder & SpIRIT: a progress report
F. Fiore, M. Trenti, Y. Evangelista +87
HERMES Pathfinder is an in-orbit demonstration consisting of a constellation of six 3U cubesats hosting simple but innovative X-ray/gamma-ray detectors for the monitoring of cosmic…
