Systematic assessment of disk truncation in the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 using NICER

Ole König, James F. Steiner, Niek Bollemeijer +20

The 2023/24 NICER monitoring campaign of the 7 Crab bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 covered the outburst in almost all accretion states. High-quality data are ava…

X-ray Reverberation Mapping of Ark 564 using Gaussian Process Regression

Collin D. Lewin, Erin Kara, Daniel R. Wilkins +15

Ark 564 is an extreme high-Eddington Narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy, known for being one of the brightest, most rapidly variable soft X-ray AGN, and for having one of the lowest temp…

On the radiation beaming of bright X-ray pulsars and constraints on neutron star mass-radius relation

Alexander A. Mushtukov, Patrick A. Verhagen, Sergey S. Tsygankov +3

The luminosity of accreting magnetised neutron stars can largely exceed the Eddington value due to appearance of accretion columns. The height of the columns can be comparable to t…

Radio pulse search and X-Ray monitoring of SAX J1808.4-3658: What Causes its Orbital Evolution?

Alessandro Patruno, Amruta Jaodand, Lucien Kuiper +6

The accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP) SAX J1808.4-3658, shows a peculiar orbital evolution that proceeds at a much faster pace than predicted by conservative binary evoluti…

Are spectral and timing correlations similar in different spectral states in black hole X-ray binaries?

M. Kalamkar, M. T. Reynolds, M. van der Klis +2

We study the outbursts of the black hole X-ray binaries MAXI J1659-152, SWIFT J1753.5--0127 and GX 339-4 with the Swift X-ray Telescope. The bandpass of the X-ray Telescope has acc…

The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)

M. Feroci, the LOFT Consortium

High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses an…
