Pulsar Selection Criteria and Performance Evaluation of Autonomous X-ray Pulsar Navigation Systems
Sui Chen, Emilie Parent, Nanda Rea +1
Current space missions primarily depend on Earth-based Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems involving human-in-the-loop operations. X-ray pulsar-based navigation offers…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP J171159.4-333253: an eclipsing neutron star low-mass X-ray binary with clocked bursts
Y. L. Wang, F. Coti Zelati, E. Parent +27
EP J171159.4-333253 is a new neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary discovered in outburst by the Einstein Probe (EP) on 2025 June 23, exhibiting clocked type-I X-ray bursts, eclipses…
The double neutron star PSR J1946+2052 I. Masses and tests of general relativity
Lingqi Meng, Paulo C. C. Freire, Kevin Stovall +28
We conducted high-precision timing of PSR J1946+2052 to determine the masses of the two neutron stars in the system, test general relativity (GR) and assessed the system's potentia…
Detection of low-luminosity X-ray pulsations from the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J17511-3057: An ever-thinning thread between bright accretion and sub-luminous states
Giulia Illiano, Alessandro Papitto, Sergio Campana +14
After nearly a decade in quiescence, the accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J175113057 displayed a new outburst on 2025 February 11, its third since discovery, following previous…
