Discovery of the Infrared Counterpart of the Rapid Burster with JWST
Malina M. Desai, Kevin B. Burdge, Cristina Pallanca +8
The Rapid Burster (MXB 1730335) is the only known neutron star to produce both Type I and Type II X-ray bursts, making it a key system for understanding accretion physics onto n…
A positive period derivative in the quasi-periodic eruptions of ZTF19acnskyy
Joheen Chakraborty, Saul A. Rappaport, Riccardo Arcodia +9
We report the first direct measurement of the period derivative in a quasi-periodic eruption (QPE), finding a smoothly increasing period with $\dot{P}\approx (1.7\pm 0.02)\times10^…
Expanding the ultracompacts: gravitational wave-driven mass transfer in the shortest-period binaries with accretion disks
Joheen Chakraborty, Kevin B. Burdge, Saul A. Rappaport +35
We report the discovery of three ultracompact binary white dwarf systems hosting accretion disks, with orbital periods of 7.95, 8.68, and 13.15 minutes. This significantly augments…
