Globular Clusters in the Time of the JWST. I. Survey Design and First Results on Multiple Populations and Beyond
A. P. Milone, A. F. Marino, G. Cordoni +25
Globular clusters (GCs) host multiple stellar populations with distinct chemical compositions, but their properties among very low-mass stars remain poorly constrained. The James W…
The strength of Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations in black hole X-ray binaries correlates with the jet inclination
F. M. Vincentelli, N. Bollemeijer, A. Veledina +10
X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are a characteristic feature of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). These oscillations have been studied for decades and revealed a rich and c…
Aql X-1 from dawn 'til dusk: the early rise, fast state transition and decay of its 2024 outburst
A. Marino, F. Coti Zelati, K. Alabarta +36
Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) are usually first detected by all-sky X-ray monitors when they enter new outbursts, typically at X-ray luminosities above 10…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP J171159.4-333253: an eclipsing neutron star low-mass X-ray binary with clocked bursts
Y. L. Wang, F. Coti Zelati, E. Parent +27
EP J171159.4-333253 is a new neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary discovered in outburst by the Einstein Probe (EP) on 2025 June 23, exhibiting clocked type-I X-ray bursts, eclipses…
A Catalogue of Orbital Periods of Cataclysmic Variables and Candidates from TESS Observations
Meryem K. DaÄ, Simone Scaringi, Kieran O'Brien +21
We present a systematic analysis of 2544 cataclysmic variable systems and related candidates observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), with the aim of compiling…
A solution to the tension of burning on neutron stars and nuclear physics
Y. Cavecchi, D. Galloway, A. Heger +8
When neutron stars accrete matter from a companion star, this matter forms a disc around them and eventually falls on their surface. Here, the fuel can ignite into bright flashes c…
