Gravitational self-lensing of Fast Radio Bursts in neutron star magnetospheres: II. Applications to strong repeaters and the CHIME population
Riccardo La Placa, Simone Dall'Osso, Luigi Stella +1
Paper I in this series introduced a model in which seed radio bursts produced by a hotspot anchored in the magnetosphere of a highly-magnetic neutron star (NS) are greatly amplifie…
The multiple facets of millisecond pulsar binaries
A. Miraval Zanon, G. Illiano, F. Ambrosino +17
Millisecond pulsar (MSP) binaries are unique laboratories for studying matter and radiation under extreme conditions that are unattainable on Earth. Recent detections of optical mi…
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…
Evidence for optical pulsations from a redback millisecond pulsar
A. Papitto, F. Ambrosino, M. Burgay +16
Recent detections of optical pulsations from both a transitional and an accreting millisecond pulsar have revealed unexpectedly bright signals, suggesting that the presence of an a…
A semi-coherent search for optical pulsations from Scorpius X-1
Riccardo La Placa, Alessandro Papitto, Giulia Illiano +14
The emission of continuous gravitational waves (CWs) possibly explains why pulsars spinning with a period shorter than a millisecond have not been observed so far. Neutron stars ac…
Probing multi-band variability and mode switching in the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125
Giulia Illiano, Francesco Coti Zelati, Arianna Miraval Zanon +20
We present the most extensive high-time resolution multi-band campaign to date on the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar (tMSP) 3FGL J1544.6-1125 in the sub-luminous disk st…
Exploring higher order images with Fe K_α-lines from relativistic disks: black hole spin determination and bias
M. Falanga, P. Bakala, R. La Placa +3
We study the contributions to the relativistic Fe line profile from higher order images (HOIs) produced by strongly deflected rays from the disk which cross the plunging regi…
A note on some discrepancies in convolution models in X-ray spectral analysis
Riccardo La Placa, Angelo Gambino
Convolution models are powerful tools in many fields of spectral and image analysis owing to their wide applicability, and X-ray astrophysical spectral analysis is no exception. We…
