Twisted-pair unilateral reconnection: A unifying driver for magnetically powered astrophysical bursts
Shu-Ping Yan, Wenhui Yu, Jing Ye +11
Magnetic reconnection in twisted loops has long been invoked as an engine powering energetic transients from black hole accretion to neutron star mergers, yet never directly observ…
Isolated neutron star candidates from the fourth generation XMM-Newton catalogues
Adriana M. Pires, Christian Motch, Jan Kurpas +9
X-ray thermally emitting isolated neutron stars (XINSs) are a rare population that provides insights into neutron star cooling, magnetic-field evolution, and Galactic demographics.…
The MALATANG survey: Dense gas distribution on sub-kiloparsec scales across the disk of M82
Jian-Fa Wang, Yu Gao, Qing-Hua Tan +23
We present observations of HCN J=4-3 and HCO^+ J=4-3 lines obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as part of the MALATANG survey, combined with archival HCN J=1-0 and HCO^…
The warm-hot intergalactic medium in inter-cluster filaments -- A forecast for HUBS observations based on eRASS1 superclusters
Yuanyuan Zhao, Haiguang Xu, Ang Liu +8
Cosmological simulations indicate that nearly half of the baryons in the nearby Universe are in the warm-hot intergalactic medium (WHIM) phase, and about a half them reside in cosm…
