Multiwavelength Analysis of the Einstein Probe X-ray Transient EP240305a
Ruican Ma, Ye Li, Lian Tao +32
We report multiwavelength observations of EP240305a, an uncatalogued X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe on March 5, 2024. The source exhibits distinct characteristics a…
Mass-Radius Constraints for 2S 0918-549 from an RXTE Superexpansion Burst: A Direct Cooling-Tail Analysis
Hongbin Fan, Helei Liu, Zhaosheng Li +6
Thermonuclear (Type I ) X-ray bursts from accreting neutron stars offer a means to determine neutron-star (NS) mass () and radius () and thereby probe the properties of matte…
Discovery of a New Spectral Transition in Swift J0243.6+6124 in the Sub-Eddington Regime
Bo-Yan Chen, Shu Zhang, Qing-Cang Shui +9
We conduct a detailed spectral analysis of the Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 in its sub-Eddington regime, using Insight-HXMT and NICER observations during…
Investigation on Quasi-periodic Oscillation Phase Lag of RE J1034+396
Wen-Zhong Li, Shu Zhang, Qing-Cang Shui +9
We conduct an in-depth study of the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) properties of RE J1034+396, by constructing QPO phase-folded light curves from 10 XMM-Newton observations durin…
Revealing an Oscillating and Contracting Compact Corona near the Event Horizon of the Supermassive Black Hole in 1ES 1927+654
Qing-Cang Shui, Shu Zhang, Shuang-Nan Zhang +7
Dynamic processes in the accretion flow near black holes produce X-ray flux variability, sometimes quasi-periodic. Determining its physical origin is key to mapping accretion geome…
A transition from mixed-fuel to pure-helium thermonuclear bursts in Terzan 5 X-3/Swift J174805.3-244637
Lei Zhang, Zhaosheng Li, Yuanyue Pan +5
We presented a detailed analysis of seven thermonuclear X-ray bursts from Terzan 5 X-3/Swift J174805.3-244637, detected by NICER during the source's 2023 outburst. Our analysis rev…
