The Gamow Explorer: A gamma-ray burst observatory to study the high redshift universe and enable multi-messenger astrophysics

N. E. White, F. E. Bauer, W. Baumgartner +63

The Gamow Explorer will use Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) to: 1) probe the high redshift universe (z > 6) when the first stars were born, galaxies formed and Hydrogen was reionized; and…

A strongly heated neutron star in the transient Z source MAXI J0556-332

Jeroen Homan, Joel K. Fridriksson, Rudy Wijnands +5

We present Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift observations of the quiescent neutron star in the transient low-mass X-ray binary MAXI J0556-332. Observations of the source made during o…

Disc-jet coupling in the 2009 outburst of the black hole candidate H1743-322

J. C. A. Miller-Jones, G. R. Sivakoff, D. Altamirano +15

We present an intensive radio and X-ray monitoring campaign on the 2009 outburst of the Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary H1743-322. With the high angular resolution of th…

Discovery of a High-Latitude Accreting Millisecond Pulsar in an Ultracompact Binary

Duncan Galloway, Deepto Chakrabarty, Edward Morgan +1

We have identified the third known accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, XTE J0929-314, with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. The source is a faint, high-Galactic-latitude X-ray tr…

An All-sky Advanced X-ray Monitor (AXM) Mission

Hale Bradt, Ronald A. Remillard

A concept for an all-sky monitor mission substantially more powerful than the RXTE ASM is presented in brief. It makes use of 31 Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) proportional counters…
