A re-establishing jet during an X-ray re-brightening of the Be/X-ray binary Swift J0243.6+6124
J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar, T. D. Russell +5
Transient Be/X-ray binary systems, wherein a compact object accretes from a Be-companion star, can show giant and periastron outbursts. During the decay of their giant outbursts, s…
Searching for the most powerful thermonuclear X-ray bursts with the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory
J. J. M. in 't Zand, M. J. W. Kries, D. M. Palmer +1
We searched for thermonuclear X-ray bursts from Galactic neutron stars in all event mode data of the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory collected until March 31, 2018. In particular, w…
The radio-bright accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar IGR J17591-2342
T. D. Russell, N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands +4
IGR J175912342 is a 527-Hz accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar that was discovered in outburst in 2018 August. In this paper, we present quasi-simultaneous radio and X-ray monito…
Consistent accretion-induced heating of the neutron-star crust in MXB 1659-29 during two different outbursts
A. S. Parikh, R. Wijnands, L. S. Ootes +10
Monitoring the cooling of neutron-star crusts heated during accretion outbursts allows us to infer the physics of the dense matter present in the crust. We examine the crust coolin…
Quiescent X-ray variability in the neutron star Be/X-ray transient GRO J1750-27
A. Rouco Escorial, R. Wijnands, L. S. Ootes +5
The Be/X-ray transient GRO J1750-27 exhibited a type-II (giant) outburst in 2015. After the source transited to quiescence, we triggered our multi-year Chandra monitoring programme…
An evolving jet from a strongly-magnetised accreting X-ray pulsar
J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar, T. D. Russell +4
Relativistic jets are observed throughout the Universe, strongly impacting their surrounding environments on all physical scales, from Galactic binary systems to galaxies and galax…
