The Scientific Performance of the Microchannel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM Mission
D. Gotz, M. Boutelier, V. Burwitz +17
The Microchannel X-ray Telescope (MXT) will be the first focusing X-ray telescope based on a "Lobster-Eye" optical design to be flown on Sino-French mission SVOM. SVOM will be dedi…
Analysis methods to localize and characterize X-ray sources with the Micro-channel X-ray Telescope on board the SVOM satellite
Shaymaa Hussein, Florent Robinet, Martin Boutelier +3
SVOM is a Sino-French space mission targeting high-energy transient astrophysical objects such as gamma-ray bursts. The soft X-ray part of the spectrum is covered by the Micro-chan…
The Athena X-ray Integral Field Unit: a consolidated design for the system requirement review of the preliminary definition phase
Didier Barret, Vincent Albouys, Jan-Willem den Herder +296
The Athena X-ray Integral Unit (X-IFU) is the high resolution X-ray spectrometer, studied since 2015 for flying in the mid-30s on the Athena space X-ray Observatory, a versatile ob…
Studying Frequency Relations of kHz QPOs for 4U 1636-53 and Sco X-1: Observations Confront Theories
Yong-Feng Lin, Martin Boutelier, Didier Barret +1
By fitting the frequencies of simultaneous lower and upper kilohertz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (kHz QPOs) in two prototype neutron star QPO sources (4U~1636-536 and Sco X-1), we…
On the distribution of frequency ratios of kHz QPOs
Martin Boutelier, Didier Barret, Yongfeng Lin +1
The width (W), root mean squared amplitude (Rs) of lower and upper kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from accreting neutron stars vary with frequency. Similarly, the QPO frequ…
Relativistic Lines and Reflection from the Inner Accretion Disks Around Neutron Stars
E. M. Cackett, J. M. Miller, D. R. Ballantyne +6
A number of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries have recently been discovered to show broad, asymmetric Fe K emission lines in their X-ray spectra. These lines are generally thoug…
kHz Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 0614+09
Martin Boutelier, Didier Barret, M. Coleman Miller
We report on a comprehensive analysis of the kilohertz (above 300 Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) detected from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U0614+09 with the…
Discovery of the upper kilo-Hz QPO from the X-ray transient Aql X-1
Didier Barret, Martin Boutelier, M. Coleman Miller
We report on a comprehensive analysis of the kilo-Hz (>~600 Hz) quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) detected from the neutron star X-ray transient Aquila X-1 (Aql X-1) with the…
