Needle in a Poissonian haystack -- An X-ray astronomer's guide to QPE fishing
E. Quintin, N. Khan, N. A. Webb +4
After six years of studies following the discovery of GSN069, a link is starting to appear between the elusive Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) and other types of nuclear transients…
Discovering periodic and repeating nuclear transients in the XMM-Newton archives
Natalie A. Webb, Vincent Foustoul, Robbie Webbe +3
The regions around massive black holes can show X-ray variability on timescales from seconds to decades. Observing many black holes over different timescales can enhance our chance…
First look at Vela X-1 with XRISM: A simultaneous campaign with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, M. Zhou +6
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) serve as useful laboratories for exploring the behaviour of accreted matter onto compact objects and for probing the complex wind environments of m…
The population of hyperluminous X-ray sources as seen by XMM-Newton
Roberta Amato, Erwan Quintin, Hugo Tranin +7
Ultraluminous and hyperluminous X-ray sources (ULXs and HLXs) are among the brightest astrophysical objects in the X-ray sky. While ULXs most likely host stellar-mass compact objec…
4XMM J175136.8-275858: A New Magnetar Candidate?
Robbie Webbe, Norman Khan, N. A. Webb +1
Magnetars are very rare astrophysical objects, with 31 known to date. They are best understood as highly magnetised neutron stars, but a greater number need to be found to co…
The EXOD search for faint transients in XMM-Newton observations. Part II
Norman Khan, Erwan Quintin, Natalie A. Webb +7
The XMM-Newton observatory has accumulated a vast archive of over 17,000 X-ray observations over the last 25 years. However, the standard data processing pipelines may fail to dete…
