Evidence for Millihertz Oscillations in the bright atoll source GX 3+1
Malu Sudha, Renee M. Ludlam, Diego Altamirano +2
We report evidence for millihertz (mHz) QPOs in the bright atoll neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS LMXB) source GX 3+1 using NICER in the 0.5--10 keV energy band. Across 7 obs…
Physics of 1 keV line in X-ray binaries
Priyanka Chakraborty, Gary Ferland, Andrew Fabian +5
X-ray binaries (XRBs) often exhibit spectral residuals in the 0.5 to 2 keV range, known as the ``1 keV residual/1 keV feature", with variable centroid and intensity across differen…
Dual perspectives on GX 17+2: a simultaneous NICER and NuSTAR study
Malu Sudha, Renee M. Ludlam, Jeroen Homan +3
We performed the first simultaneous NICER & NuSTAR spectral and timing study of the Sco-like Z source GX 17+2. The source traced the full Z track during four observations. We detec…
Complex Ionization and Velocity Structures in GX 340+0 X-ray Binary Revealed by XRISM
Priyanka Chakraborty, Randall Smith, Lia Corrales +11
We present the first high-resolution XRISM spectrum of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary GX 340+0, revealing unprecedented detail in its emission and absorption features. The…
The Structure of the Relativistic Fe Line in GX 340+0 as Viewed with XRISM/Resolve, NICER, and NuSTAR
R. M. Ludlam, R. Ballhausen, P. Chakraborty +13
We present a 152 ks XRISM/Resolve observation of the persistently accreting Z source GX 340+0. Simultaneous observations also occurred with NuSTAR and NICER for 22.47 ks and 2.7 ks…
XRISM insights for interstellar Sulfur
Lia Corrales, Elisa Costantini, Sascha Zeegers +15
The X-ray Imaging Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) provides the best spectral resolution with which to study Sulfur (S) K-shell photoabsorption features from the interstellar medium (I…
