Pulse profile variations in the accreting X-ray pulsar Vela X-1
V. Madurga-Favieres, A. Martin-Carrillo, C. M. Diez +7
Vela X-1 is a well-studied accreting X-ray pulsar, with a distinctive pulse profile that has been found to be very similar in different observations spread out over decades. On the…
First look at Vela X-1 with XRISM: A simultaneous campaign with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, M. Zhou +6
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) serve as useful laboratories for exploring the behaviour of accreted matter onto compact objects and for probing the complex wind environments of m…
Dimming GRS 1915+105 observed with NICER and Insight--HXMT
M. Zhou, V. Grinberg, A. Santangelo +6
The black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 was bright for 26 years since its discovery and is well-known for its disk instabilities, quasi-periodic oscillations, and disk wind signat…
Variable structures in the stellar wind of the HMXB Vela X-1
L. Abalo, P. Kretschmar, F. Fürst +9
Strong stellar winds are an important feature in wind-accreting high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems, providing insights into stellar evolution and their impact on surrounding env…
Characterisation of the stellar wind in Cyg X-1 via modelling of colour-colour diagrams
E. V. Lai, B. De Marco, Y. Cavecchi +11
Cygnus X-1 is a high mass X-ray binary where accretion onto the black hole is mediated by the stellar wind from the blue supergiant companion star HDE 226868. Depending on the posi…
Observing the onset of the accretion wake in Vela X-1
C. M. Diez, V. Grinberg, F. Fürst +7
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) offer a unique opportunity for the investigation of accretion onto compact objects and of wind structure in massive stars. A key source for such st…
The spectral-timing analysis of Cygnus X-1 with Insight-HXMT
M. Zhou, V. Grinberg, Q. -C. Bu +12
Cygnus X-1, as the first discovered black hole binary, is a key source for understanding the mechanisms of state transitions, and the scenarios of accretion in extreme gravity fiel…
Continuum, cyclotron line, and absorption variability in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1
C. M. Diez, V. Grinberg, F. Fürst +7
Because of its complex clumpy wind, prominent cyclotron resonant scattering features, intrinsic variability and convenient physical parameters (close distance, high inclination, sm…
