An atypical X-ray variability component in the black hole candidate AT2019wey
Pengcheng Yang, Mariano Méndez, Sandeep K. Rout +5
Recent studies have revealed a notable timing feature in several black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) during the soft-to-hard transition at the outburst decay. Within a narrow frequen…
Exploring the spin dependence on mass inclination and distance for the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0-572147
Yujia Song, James F. Steiner, Tong Zhao +7
The black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) Swift J151857.0-572147 was discovered during its first outburst in March 2024. We review the archive of NICER observations from this outburst, f…
Modeling X-ray photon pile-up with a normalizing flow
Ole König, Daniela Huppenkothen, Douglas Finkbeiner +5
The dynamic range of imaging detectors flown on-board X-ray observatories often only covers a limited flux range of extrasolar X-ray sources. The analysis of bright X-ray sources i…
A multiwavelength study of the Galactic center black hole candidate MAXI J1744-294
Shifra Mandel, Kaya Mori, Paul A. Draghis +37
For the first time in nearly a decade, a bright transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294, or -- as it was known in its previous life -- Swift…
A hidden quasi-periodic oscillation in Cygnus X-1 revealed by NICER
Federico A. Fogantini, Federico García, Mariano Méndez +2
Cygnus X-1 is a high-mass black hole binary extensively studied since its discovery in 1964. Its rapid X-ray variability provides insights into accretion physics. Unlike other blac…
NICER Spectral and Timing Analysis of 4U 163047 and its Heartbeat State
Ningyue Fan, James F. Steiner, Cosimo Bambi +3
We present a spectral and timing analysis of NICER observations of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 from 2018 to 2024. We find relativistic reflection features in the hard an…
Proof of principle X-ray reflection mass measurement of the black hole in H1743-322
Edward Nathan, Adam Ingram, James F. Steiner +9
The black hole X-ray binary H1743-322 lies in a region of the Galaxy with high extinction, and therefore it has not been possible to make a dynamical mass measurement. In this pape…
The eROSITA Upper Limits: Description and access to the data
D. Tubín-Arenas, M. Krumpe, G. Lamer +13
The soft X-ray instrument eROSITA on board the Spectrum-Roentgen-Gamma (SRG) observatory has successfully completed four of the eight planned all-sky surveys, detecting almost one…
HILIGT, Upper Limit Servers I -- Overview
Richard Saxton, Ole König, Miguel Descalzo +10
The advent of all-sky facilities, such as the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, the All Sky Automated Search for Supernovae (ASASSN), eROSITA and Gaia has led to a new appreciation o…
HILIGT, Upper Limit Servers II -- Implementing the data servers
Ole König, Richard D. Saxton, Peter Kretschmar +7
The High-Energy Lightcurve Generator (HILIGT) is a new web-based tool which allows the user to generate long-term lightcurves of X-ray sources. It provides historical data and calc…
Discovery of eRASSt J192932.9-560346: a bright, two-pole accreting, eclipsing polar
Axel Schwope, David A. H. Buckley, Adam Malyali +5
We report the discovery of a bright (V ~ 15), eclipsing, two-pole accreting magnetic cataclysmic variable (CV), a polar, as counterpart of the eROSITA and Gaia transients eRASSt 19…
