A FAST search for radio pulsations during the dormant state of the AMSPs IGR J00291+5934 and MAXI J1957+032
A. Marino, E. Parent, F. Coti Zelati +15
Accreting millisecond pulsars (AMSPs) and transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) are neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries which can evolve into "recycled" radio millisecond pulsa…
Multi-wavelength outburst activity from EP J174942.2-384834: a very faint X-ray transient discovered by Einstein Probe
F. Coti Zelati, A. Marino, Y. L. Wang +27
We report the discovery and multi-wavelength characterization of the Galactic transient EP J174942.2384834, first detected by the Einstein Probe during a faint X-ray outburst in…
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 fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
XMM-Newton multi-year campaign on NGC 55 ULX-1: Resolving the wind and its variability with RGS
C. Pinto, S. Caserta, F. Barra +12
Winds are an important ingredient in the evolution of X-ray binary (XRB) systems, particularly those at high accretion rates such as ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULXs), because th…
