Discovery of 105 Hz coherent pulsations in the ultracompact binary IGR J16597-3704
A. Sanna, A. Bahramian, E. Bozzo +15
We report the discovery of X-ray pulsations at 105.2 Hz (9.5 ms) from the transient X-ray binary IGR J16597-3704 using NuSTAR and Swift. The source was discovered by INTEGRAL in th…
Different accretion heating of the neutron star crust during multiple outbursts in MAXI J0556-332
A. S. Parikh, J. Homan, R. Wijnands +11
The transient neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binary MAXI J0556332 provides a rare opportunity to study NS crust heating and subsequent cooling for multiple outbursts of the sa…
Extreme Quiescent Variability of the Transient Neutron Star Low-mass X-ray Binary EXO 1745-248 in Terzan 5
L. E. Rivera Sandoval, R. Wijnands, N. Degenaar +9
EXO 1745-248 is a transient neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary that resides in the globular cluster Terzan 5. We studied the transient during its quiescent state using 18 Chandra o…
An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
Poshak Gandhi, Matteo Bachetti, Vik S. Dhillon +25
Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leadin…
Paving the way to simultaneous multi-wavelength astronomy
M. J. Middleton, P. Casella, P. Gandhi +49
Whilst astronomy as a science is historically founded on observations at optical wavelengths, studying the Universe in other bands has yielded remarkable discoveries, from pulsars…
The Evolution of the Phase Lags Associated with the Type-C Quasi-periodic Oscillation in GX 339--4 during the 2006/2007 Outburst
Liang Zhang, Yanan Wang, Mariano Mendez +4
We present the evolution of the phase lags associated with the type-C QPO in GX 339--4 during the rising phase of the 2006/2007 outburst. We find that the phase lags at the QPO fre…
