Discovery of a thermonuclear Type I X-ray burst in infrared: new limits on the orbital period of 4U 1728-34
F. M. Vincentelli, Y. Cavecchi, P. Casella +4
We report the detection of an infrared burst lagging a thermonuclear Type I X-ray burst from the accreting neutron star 4U 1728-34 (GX 354-0). Observations were performed simultane…
The Voyage of Metals in the Universe from Cosmological to Planetary Scales: the need for a Very High-Resolution, High Throughput Soft X-ray Spectrometer
F. Nicastro, J. Kaastra, C. Argiroffi +27
Metals form an essential part of the Universe at all scales. Without metals we would not exist, and the Cosmos would look completely different. Metals are primarily born through nu…
Discovery of millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in the X-ray binary EXO 0748--676
G. C. Mancuso, D. Altamirano, F. García +5
We report the discovery of millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) from the bursting, high-inclination atoll neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary (NS LMXB) EXO 0748--676 wi…
The cooling, mass and radius of the neutron star in EXO 0748-676 in quiescence with XMM-Newton
Zheng Cheng, Mariano Mendez, Maria Diaz-Trigo +1
We analyse four XMM-Newton observations of the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748676 in quiescence. We fit the spectra with an absorbed neutron-star atmosphere model, w…
Irregular time series in astronomy and the use of the Lomb-Scargle periodogram
R. Vio, M. Diaz-Trigo, P. Andreani
Detection of a signal hidden by noise within a time series is an important problem in many astronomical searches, i.e. for light curves containing the contributions of periodic/sem…
Distribution and Structure of Matter in and around Galaxies
Norbert S. Schulz, Glenn Allen, Mark W. Bautz +24
Understanding the origins and distribution of matter in the Universe is one of the most important quests in physics and astronomy. Themes range from astro-particle physics to chemi…
