Detection of kilosecond hard lags in the new pulsating ULX candidate NGC 7456 ULX-1

W. Leone, F. Pintore, C. Pinto +19

Context. Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are thought to be powered, in many cases, by super-Eddington accretion onto compact objects. While soft X-ray lags have been detected in…

Double-hump spectrum, pulse profile dip, and pulsed fraction spectra from the low-accretion regime in the X-ray pulsar MAXI J0655-013

C. Malacaria, S. N. Pike, A. D'Aì +18

Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) undergo different physical regimes depending on the mass accretion rate. Recent observations have shown a dramatic change in the emission properties…

A magnetar outburst with atypical evolution: the case of Swift J1555.2-5402

A. Borghese, F. Coti Zelati, M. Imbrogno +12

The magnetar Swift J1555.2-5402 was discovered in outburst on 2021 June 3 by the Burst Alert Telescope on board the Swift satellite. Early X-ray follow-up revealed a spin period P~…

An ultraviolet burst oscillation candidate from the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676

A. Miraval Zanon, F. Ambrosino, G. Illiano +15

X-ray burst oscillations are quasi-coherent periodic signals at frequencies close to the neutron star spin frequency. They are observed during thermonuclear Type I X-ray bursts fro…

The infrared counterpart and proper motion of magnetar SGR0501+4516

A. A. Chrimes, A. J. Levan, J. D. Lyman +19

Soft gamma repeaters (SGRs) are highly magnetised neutron stars (magnetars) notable for their gamma-ray and X-ray outbursts. In this paper, we use near-infrared (NIR) imaging of SG…

A new pulsating neutron star in the Ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4559 X7?

F. Pintore, C. Pinto, G. Rodriguez-Castillo +17

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are extragalactic objects with X-ray luminosities above the Eddington limit for a 10 Msun black hole (BH). ULXs may host super-Eddington accreting…
