Evidence for a Compact Object in the Aftermath of the Extra-Galactic Transient AT2018cow
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Wynn C. G. Ho, William Alston +16
The brightest Fast Blue Optical Transients (FBOTs) are mysterious extragalactic explosions that may represent a new class of astrophysical phenomena. Their fast time to maximum bri…
A NICER look at thermonuclear X-ray bursts from Aql X-1
Tolga Guver, Tugba Boztepe, David R. Ballantyne +8
We present spectral and temporal properties of all the thermonuclear X-ray bursts observed from Aql X-1 by the Neutron Star Interior and Composition Explorer (NICER) between 2017 J…
A Swift study of long-term changes in the X-ray flaring properties of Sagittarius A*
A. Andrés, J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar +12
The radiative counterpart of the supermassive black hole at the Galactic Centre, Sagittarius A*, displays flaring emission in the X-ray band atop a steady, quiescent level. Flares…
Photo-astrometric distances, extinctions, and astrophysical parameters for Gaia EDR3 stars brighter than G=18.5
F. Anders, A. Khalatyan, A. B. A. Queiroz +23
We present a catalogue of 362 million stellar parameters, distances, and extinctions derived from Gaia's early third data release (EDR3) cross-matched with the photometric catalogu…
Light curve fingerprints: an automated approach to the extraction of X-ray variability patterns with feature aggregation -- an example application to GRS 1915+105
Jakub K. Orwat-Kapola, Antony J. Bird, Adam B. Hill +2
Time series data mining is an important field of research in the era of "Big Data". Next generation astronomical surveys will generate data at unprecedented rates, creating the nee…
The harmonic component of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 1636-53
Zhenyan Fei, Ming Lyu, Mariano Mendez +5
We studied the harmonics of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observa…
