Unveiling hidden millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 1A 0535+262
Zihan Yang, Ruican Ma, Mariano Méndez +9
Be/X-ray binary pulsars show transient outbursts and complex timing behaviour, including millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), whose physical origin and energy dependence…
Deep VLBI constraints on compact radio cores in four ultraluminous X-ray sources
Ailing Wang, Hua Feng, Tao An +7
We present high-sensitivity Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations of four ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs): Holmberg II X-1, IC 342 X-1, NGC 6946 X-1, and NGC 925…
Discovery of energy-dependent phase variations in the polarization angle of Cen X-3
Qing-Chang Zhao, Lian Tao, Sergey S. Tsygankov +7
We present a detailed polarimetric analysis of Cen X-3 using \ixpe observations during its high state, revealing complex energy-dependent polarization behavior. While phase-average…
The First X-ray Polarimetry of GRS 1739--278 Reveals Its Rapidly Spinning Black Hole
Qing-Chang Zhao, Michal Dovciak, Han-Cheng Li +6
We present a joint spectro-polarimetric analysis of the black hole X-ray binary GRS~1739--278 during its 2025 mini-outburst, using simultaneous observations from \ixpe\ and \nustar…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
Multiwavelength Observations of the Apparently Non-repeating FRB 20250316A
Ye Li, Hui Sun, Lei Qian +72
The physical origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs) remains uncertain. Although multiwavelength observations have been widely conducted, only Galactic FRB~20200428D is associated with…
