EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
4U 1538-52 in a Heartbeat: Broadband X-ray Spectral Properties from XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, A. -L. Doherty +8
Galactic high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are important systems for studying accretion mechanisms onto compact objects and for investigating the complex stellar winds of massive st…
A NICER view of the millisecond pulsar PSR J21243358: evidence for a helium atmosphere
Denis González-Caniulef, Sebastien Guillot, Pierre Stammler +12
Pulse profile modeling has proven to be a powerful technique for determining the mass and radius of neutron stars. To date, this method has been applied to a handful of millisecond…
NICER Magnetar Burst Catalog
Che-Yen Chu, Chin-Ping Hu, Teruaki Enoto +13
In this paper, we present a comprehensive catalog of short bursts from magnetars based on eight years of NICER observations. A total of 1130 bursts were identified from 14 sources,…
New and updated timing models for seven young energetic X-ray pulsars, including the Big Glitcher PSR J0537-6910
Wynn C. G. Ho, Lucien Kuiper, Cristobal M. Espinoza +6
We present new timing models and update our previous ones for the rotational evolution of seven young energetic pulsars, including four of the top five in spin-down luminosity Edot…
A NICER view of the 1.4 solar-mass edge-on pulsar PSR J0614-3329
Lucien Mauviard, Sebastien Guillot, Tuomo Salmi +20
Four neutron star radius measurements have already been obtained by modeling the X-ray pulses of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composit…
