On the nature of the X-ray binary transient MAXI J1834-021: clues from its first observed outburst

A. Manca, A. Marino, A. Borghese +14

MAXI J1834-021 is a new X-ray transient that was discovered in February 2023. We analysed the spectral and timing properties of MAXI J1834-021 using NICER, NuStar and Swift data co…

The accretion/ejection link in the neutron star X-ray binary 4U 1820-30 I: A boundary layer-jet coupling?

A. Marino, T. D. Russell, M. Del Santo +16

The accretion flow / jet correlation in neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is far less understood when compared to black hole (BH) LMXBs. In this paper we will prese…

MAXI J1957+032: a new accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar in an ultra-compact binary

A. Sanna, P. Bult, M. NG +12

The detection of coherent X-ray pulsations at ~314 Hz (3.2 ms) classifies MAXI J1957+032 as a fast-rotating, accreting neutron star. We present the temporal and spectral analysis p…
