Observatory science with eXTP

Jean J. M. in 't Zand, Enrico Bozzo, Jinlu Qu +181

In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring s…

X-ray/UV/optical variability of NGC 4593 with Swift: Reprocessing of X-rays by an extended reprocessor

I M McHardy, S D Connolly, K Horne E M Cackett +25

We report the results of intensive X-ray, UV and optical monitoring of the Seyfert 1 galaxy NGC 4593 with Swift. There is no intrinsic flux-related spectral change in the the varia…

A strongly heated neutron star in the transient Z source MAXI J0556-332

Jeroen Homan, Joel K. Fridriksson, Rudy Wijnands +5

We present Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift observations of the quiescent neutron star in the transient low-mass X-ray binary MAXI J0556-332. Observations of the source made during o…

Revealing the X-ray source in IRAS 13224-3809 through flux-dependent reverberation lags

E. Kara, A. C. Fabian, E. M. Cackett +2

IRAS 13224-3809 was observed in 2011 for 500 ks with the XMM-Newton observatory. We detect highly significant X-ray lags between soft (0.3 - 1 keV) and hard (1.2 - 5 keV) energies.…

An X-ray-UV correlation in Cen X-4 during quiescence

E. M. Cackett, E. F. Brown, N. Degenaar +3

Quiescent emission from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cen X-4 is seen to be variable on timescales from hundreds of seconds to years, suggesting that at least in this obje…

The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)

M. Feroci, the LOFT Consortium

High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses an…
