Flux Evolution of PSR B0540--69 and the Spectral Energy Distribution of its Pulsar Wind Nebula
Juan Zhang, Xuezhi Liu, Junyang Zhang +12
The young Crab-like pulsar PSR B0540--69, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud, underwent a spin-down rate transition (SRT) in 2011 December, after which its pulsar wind nebula (P…
Candidate X-ray Counterparts of Ultra-High-Energy Emission of the Galactic Microquasar V4641 Sgr Revealed by Einstein Probe
Yi-Heng Chi, Shao-Qiang Xi, Ping Zhou +20
Microquasars have emerged as promising PeVatron candidates capable of accelerating particles to PeV energies, with recent observations revealing ultra-high-energy (UHE) -ray emi…
A dynamic magneto-ionic environment around a long-period radio transient
Botao Li, Yongjie Jin, Shike Qu +5
Faraday rotation provides one of the most direct probes of magnetized plasma along the line of sight, from the large-scale Galactic magnetic field to compact plasma environments lo…
X-rays breaking out of pre-explosion ejecta mark a supernova's first light
Weimin Yuan, Qiu-Ju Huang, Jin-Ping Zhu +130
Massive stars die as core-collapse supernovae, whose optical light emerges days after the implosion. Theory predicts that the initial collapse-driven shock, upon breaking through t…
High-resolution spectroscopic atmospheric studies of 5 hot Jupiters across the edge of the Neptune desert
Zewen Jiang, Wei Wang, Shumei Jia +6
Hot Jupiters (HJs), especially the Ultra-Hot Jupiters (UHJs), are ideal targets for robust atmospheric characterization, thanks to their high equilibrium temperatures and large atm…
A Complete X-ray View of Supernova Remnant W28 with Einstein Probe: Spatial Distribution of Parameters and Origin of the Thermal-Composite Morphology
Yi-Heng Chi, Ping Zhou, Yang Chen +6
It has been an unsolved question what leads a supernova remnant (SNR) to a thermal composite rather than a typical shell-like morphology, and what causes recombining plasma inside…
Characteristics of the High-frequency Humps in the Black hole X-ray Binary Swift J1727.8--1613
Ze-Xi Li, Liang Zhang, Lian Tao +13
We present a detailed timing analysis of the two high-frequency humps observed in the power density spectrum of Swift J1727.8--1613 up to 100 keV, using data from the Hard X-ray Mo…
A simple, flexible method for timing cross-calibration of space missions
Matteo Bachetti, Yukikatsu Terada, Megumi Shidatsu +25
The timing (cross-)calibration of astronomical instruments is often done by comparing pulsar times-of-arrival (TOAs) to a reference timing model. In high-energy astronomy, the choi…
In-flight Characteristics and Modelling of the Instrumental Background of EP/FXT
Juan Zhang, Yong Chen, Shumei Jia +15
The in-flight instrumental background of the Follow-up X-ray Telescope (FXT) onboard Einstein Probe (EP) mission is analysed in this work by utilizing observations collected during…
Timing and spectral studies of SRGA J144459.2604207 with NICER, Einstein Probe, IXPE, NuSTAR, Insight-HXMT and INTEGRAL during its 2024 outburst
Zhaosheng Li, Lucien Kuiper, Yuanyue Pan +13
SRGA J144459.2604207 is a newly confirmed accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar and type I X-ray burster. We present the broadband X-ray timing and spectral behaviors of SRGA J1444…
The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission -- eXTP for launch in 2030
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Yupeng Xu +155
In this paper we present the current status of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, which has been fully approved for launch in 2030. eXTP is a space science mission…
The soft X-ray transient EP241021a: A cosmic explosion with a complex off-axis jet and cocoon from a massive progenitor
Giulia Gianfagna, Luigi Piro, Gabriele Bruni +22
X-ray flashes (XRFs) are fast X-ray transients thought to be softer analogs of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). With its soft X-ray sensitivity, the Einstein Probe (EP) provides a unique o…
