Fast Optical Variability of the TeV Blazar PKS 1725+123 Observed by SVOM-VT and Insights from Multi-wavelength Follow-up Observations
Shuo-Yu Liu, Yu-Wei Yu, Ji-Shun Lian +29
PKS 1725+123 is a flat-spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) with a redshift of . The detection of this object in the TeV band was reported by the MAGIC telescopes and H.E.S.S. in…
Early results from the SVOM Observatory Science program
A. Coleiro, L. Tao, F. Cangemi +44
We present the organisation and early results from the Observatory Science program of the Space-based multi-band astronomical Variable Objects Monitor (SVOM), based on data collect…
Unveiling hidden millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 1A 0535+262
Zihan Yang, Ruican Ma, Mariano Méndez +9
Be/X-ray binary pulsars show transient outbursts and complex timing behaviour, including millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), whose physical origin and energy dependence…
Deep VLBI constraints on compact radio cores in four ultraluminous X-ray sources
Ailing Wang, Hua Feng, Tao An +7
We present high-sensitivity Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of four ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs): Holmberg II X-1, IC 342 X-1, NGC 6946 X-1, and NGC 925…
A NICER view of the corona through time-dependent Comptonization of the quasi-periodic oscillations in nine black-hole X-ray binaries
Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, James F. Steiner +12
We present a systematic study of the evolution of the corona geometry in nine black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) using archival data from NICER. We identify 171 observations exhibi…
Rapid jet production and suppression during fast state transitions in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348630
Francesco Carotenuto, Liang Zhang, Diego Altamirano +3
Black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) launch powerful relativistic jets during bright outburst phases. The properties of these outflows change dramatically between different spectral…
