X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
Discovery of Short-Term γ-Ray Pulsed Radiation Variations Following a Glitch in PSR J0205+6449
Wen-Tao Ye, Ming-Yu Ge, Shi-Jie Zheng +7
Rotation-powered pulsars exhibit stable emission characteristics most of the time. However, their radiative state can vary with the sudden changes of rotational state such as glitc…
Multiwavelength Analysis of PSR J0437-4715 with Pulse Profile Modeling
Liqiang Qi, Juan Zhang, Weiwei Xu +6
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the nearby millisecond pulsar PSR J0437--4715, combining Hubble Space Telescope (HST) far-ultraviolet, ROSAT soft X-ray, and XMM-Newton X-…
Secular Evolution of PSR J2021+4026: Long-Term γ-Ray Flux and Spin-Down Variability Beyond State Transitions
Xue-Zhi Liu, Ming-Yu Ge, Xiao-Ping Zheng +7
PSR J2021+4026 is a remarkable -ray pulsar exhibiting repeated transitions between high -ray flux (HGF) and low -ray flux (LGF) states. With 17-yr Fermi-LAT monitoring,…
Observatory Science with eXTP
Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97
Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…
The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission -- eXTP for launch in 2030
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Yupeng Xu +155
In this paper we present the current status of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, which has been fully approved for launch in 2030. eXTP is a space science mission…
