Relativistic spectroscopy of the extreme NLS1 IRAS13224-3809

M. L. Parker, W. N. Alston, D. J. K Buisson +5

The narrow line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) IRAS 13224-3809 is the most X-ray variable active galactic nucleus (AGN), exhibiting 0.3-10 keV flux changes of over an order of magnitude within a…

A Persistent Disk Wind in GRS 1915+105 with NICER

Joey Neilsen, E. Cackett, R. A. Remillard +13

The bright, erratic black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 has long been a target for studies of disk instabilities, radio/infrared jets, and accretion disk winds, with implications…

Detection of Reflection Features in the Neutron Star Low-Mass X-ray Binary Serpens X-1 with NICER

R. M. Ludlam, J. M. Miller, Z. Arzoumanian +17

We present Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Serpens X-1 during the early mission phase in 2017. With the hi…

A Potential Cyclotron Resonant Scattering Feature in the ULX Pulsar NGC 300 ULX1 seen by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton

D. J. Walton, M. Bachetti, F. Fuerst +14

Based on phase-resolved broadband spectroscopy using - and , we report on a potential cyclotron resonant scattering feature at keV in the pulsed sp…

A high-density relativistic reflection origin for the soft and hard X-ray excess emission from Mrk 1044

Labani Mallick, William N. Alston, Michael L. Parker +7

We present the first results from a detailed spectral-timing analysis of a long (130 ks) XMM-Newton observation and quasi-simultaneous NuSTAR and Swift observations of the hi…

The remarkable X-ray variability of IRAS 13224-3809 I: The variability process

W. N. Alston, A. C. Fabian, D. J. K. Buisson +17

We present a detailed X-ray timing analysis of the highly variable NLS1 galaxy, IRAS 13224-3809. The source was recently monitored for 1.5 Ms with XMM-Newton which, combined with 5…

Evidence for a Variable Ultrafast Outflow in the Newly Discovered Ultraluminous Pulsar NGC 300 ULX-1

P. Kosec, C. Pinto, D. J. Walton +5

Ultraluminous pulsars are a definite proof that persistent super-Eddington accretion occurs in nature. They support the scenario according to which most Ultraluminous X-ray Sources…
