EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
Phase-resolved QPO Analysis of GX 339-4: Improved Technique and Consistent Behaviors between QPOs and Broadband Noise
Jin Qin, Hua Feng, Liang Zhang +5
The nature of low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole X-ray binaries remains unclear, and their relationship with the accompanying broadband noise (BBN) is s…
Optically Thick Outflow Driven by Supercritical Accretion May Explain Little Red Dots
Jun-Rong Liu, Hua Feng, Luis C. Ho
Recent JWST observations have revealed a population of compact, optically red sources known as Little Red Dots (LRDs). A popular interpretation is that LRDs host massive black hole…
Photoionization of the Composite Nebula Surrounding NGC 5408 X-1: Implications for Beamed Emission
Jing Guo, Hua Feng, Roberto Soria +4
NGC 5408 X-1 is one of the best studied ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) and is surrounded by a photoionized nebula. Previous optical spectroscopy established the presence of str…
Detection and luminosity-dependent evolution of the high-energy hump in the Be/X-ray pulsar 1A 1118-61
Alexander Salganik, Sergey S. Tsygankov, Sergey V. Molkov +12
Context. Accreting X-ray pulsars exhibit strong luminosity-dependent changes in their broad-band spectra. At high luminosities, their spectra are usually described by a power-law c…
Rapid quasi-periodic reconfiguration of the accretion column in pulsar 1A 0535+262
Lingda Kong, Xiaohang Dai, Andrea Santangelo +12
Accretion onto strongly magnetized neutron stars is commonly interpreted using quasi-steady models, in which the accretion-column structure adjusts smoothly to the mass inflow rate…
