Do Accretion Disks Get Bent Out of Shape? Investigating the Origin of Rapid Fluctuations in the Tails of Long Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts
D. R. Ballantyne, N. Degenaar
Thermonuclear X-ray bursts from the surfaces of neutron stars affect the surrounding accretion flow, revealing details of the underlying physical processes influencing accretion ph…
4U 1556-60 as a very faint neutron star X-ray binary at 700 pc with an undetected radio jet
Eliot C. Pattie, Thomas J. Maccarone, Thomas Russell +3
4U 1556-60 is a low-mass X-ray binary that was discovered more than 50 years ago as a persistent X-ray source; however, very little was known about it. Recently, Gaia obtained a pa…
Decoding Cygnus X-2: The Critical Role of Reflection in IXPE Data
Honghui Liu, Jiachen Jiang, Adam Ingram +10
We present a spectro-polarimetric re-analysis of the first IXPE observation of Cygnus X-2 which we determine to be mainly in the normal branch, from quasi-simultaneous observations…
