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…
Hunting for High-Mass X-ray Binaries in the Galactic Center with NuSTAR
Shifra Mandel, Julian Gerber, Kaya Mori +9
The central deg region of our Galaxy contains X-ray point sources that were detected by a series of Chandra observations over the last two decades. Ho…
The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): resolving the nature of Sgr A* flares, compact object binaries and diffuse X-ray emission in the Galactic Center and beyond
Kaya Mori, Gabriele Ponti, Matteo Bachetti +24
HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ( FWHM) and broad spectral coverage (0.2-80 keV) with an effective area far sup…
Constraining white dwarf mass and magnetic field strength of a new intermediate polar through X-ray observations
Benjamin Vermette, Ciro Salcedo, Kaya Mori +9
We report a broad-band analysis of a Galactic X-ray source, CXOGBS J174517.0-321356 (J1745), with a 614-second periodicity. Chandra discovered the source in the direction of the Ga…
Imaging effects due to pixel distortions in CdZnTe (CZT) detectors -- results from the HREXI Calibration Facility (HCF)
Arkadip Basak, Branden Allen, Jaesub Hong +2
ProtoEXIST2 (P2) was a prototype imaging X-ray detector plane developed for wide-field Time Domain Astrophysics (TDA) in the 5 - 200 keV energy band. It was composed of an 8 $\time…
