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…
Time lags as proxy of spectral evolution in gamma-ray bursts
C. Maraventano, F. Daigne, R. Mochkovitch +3
Positive lags in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), where hard photons anticipate softer ones, provide a unique window into the temporal evolution of their prompt emission. Negative lags, wh…
The first IXPE view of the eclipsing ADC source 4U 1822-37
A. Anitra, A. Gnarini, T. Di Salvo +16
Accretion-disc corona sources are high-inclination low-mass X-ray binaries in which the innermost regions are hidden and the observed X-ray emission is dominated by radiation scatt…
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…
Unveiling the biconical geometry of the outflow in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5204 X-1
S. Caserta, C. Pinto, T. Di Salvo +9
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are non-nuclear X-ray binary systems that exceed the Eddington luminosity for a 10 Msun black hole. The majority of these sources are thought to…
CubeSats Reach the Millisecond X-Ray Domain: Crab Pulsar Timing with SpIRIT/HERMES
Wladimiro Leone, R. Mearns, T. Di Salvo +70
The High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites (HERMES) instrument is a compact X/-ray spectrometer operating on board the 6U (11 kg) SpIRIT CubeSat. The payload is parti…
