Deep X-ray and radio observations of the first outburst of the young magnetar Swift J1818.0-1607

A. Y. Ibrahim, A. Borghese, N. Rea +23

Swift J1818.0-1607 is a radio-loud magnetar with a spin period of 1.36 s and a dipolar magnetic field strength of B~3E14 G, which is very young compared to the Galactic pulsar popu…

The Luminosity Phase Space of Galactic and Extragalactic X-ray Transients Out to Intermediate Redshifts

Ava Polzin, Raffaella Margutti, Deanne Coppejans +8

We present a detailed compilation and analysis of the X-ray phase space of low- to intermediate-redshift () transients that consolidates observed light curves (and t…

The first 7 months of the 2020 X-ray outburst of the magnetar SGR J1935+2154

Alice Borghese, Francesco Coti Zelati, Gian Luca Israel +10

The magnetar SGR J1935+2154 underwent a new active episode on 2020 April 27-28, when a forest of hundreds of X-ray bursts and a large enhancement of the persistent flux were detect…

Timing six energetic rotation-powered X-ray pulsars, including the fast-spinning young PSR J0058-7218 and Big Glitcher PSR J0537-6910

Wynn C. G. Ho, Lucien Kuiper, Cristobal M. Espinoza +14

Measuring a pulsar's rotational evolution is crucial to understanding the nature of the pulsar. Here we provide updated timing models for the rotational evolution of six pulsars, f…

X-ray observation of the Roche-lobe filling white dwarf plus hot subdwarf system ZTF J213056.71+442046.5

S. Mereghetti, N. La Palombara, T. Kupfer +9

ZTF J213056.71+442046.5 is the prototype of a small class of recently discovered compact binaries composed of a white dwarf and a hot subdwarf that fills its Roche-lobe. Its orbita…

XMM-Newton discovery of very high obscuration in the candidate Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient AX J1714.1-3912

L. Sidoli, V. Sguera, P. Esposito +2

We have analysed an archival XMM-Newton EPIC observation that serendipitously covered the sky position of a variable X-ray source AX J1714.1-3912, previously suggested to be a Supe…

Recurrent X-ray flares of the black hole candidate in the globular cluster RZ 2109 in NGC 4472

A. Tiengo, P. Esposito, M. Toscani +7

We report on the systematic analysis of the X-ray observations of the ultra-luminous X-ray source XMMU J122939.7+075333 located in the globular cluster RZ 2109 in the Virgo galaxy…

Quasi periodic whispers from a transient ULX in M\,101: signatures of a fast-spinning neutron star?

Ryan T. Urquhart, Roberto Soria, Rosanne Di Stefano +7

We have studied the unusual time variability of an ultraluminous X-ray source in M 101, 4XMM J140314.2541806 (henceforth, J1403), using Chandra and XMM-Newton data. Over the las…
