EP260119a: A High-Redshift Gamma-Ray Quiet Fast X-ray Transient Probing a Potentially Hidden Population of Relativistic Explosions

Camila Angulo-Valdez, Asuka Kuwata, Edilberto Aguilar-Ruiz +41

Gamma-ray quiet fast X-ray transients (FXTs) provide a new approach for studying relativistic explosions that evade traditional gamma-ray triggers. In this work, we present multi-w…

The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase

Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279

The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…

Investigating the Mass of the Black Hole and Possible Wind Outflow of the Accretion Disk in the Tidal Disruption Event AT2021ehb

Xin Xiang, Jon M. Miller, Abderahmen Zoghbi +11

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can potentially probe low-mass black holes in host galaxies that might not adhere to bulge or stellar-dispersion relationships. At least initially, T…

Tidal disruption events and quasi periodic eruptions

Natalie A. Webb, Didier Barret, Olivier Godet +4

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes close to a massive black hole, so that the tidal forces of the black hole exceed the binding energy of a star and cause it t…

Statistical study of a large and cleaned sample of ultraluminous and hyperluminous X-ray sources

Hugo Tranin, Natalie Webb, Olivier Godet +1

Ultra-/hyper-luminous X-ray sources (ULX/HLX) could be interesting laboratories to improve our understanding of the supermassive black hole growth through super-Eddington accretion…

The ultraluminous X-ray source M81 X-6: a weakly magnetised neutron star with a precessing accretion disc?

Roberta Amato, Andres Gúrpide, Natalie A. Webb +2

We investigate the nature of the ULX M81 X-6, which has been suggested to harbour a neutron star (NS), by studying its long-term X-ray spectral and temporal evolution, using the ri…
