ESA Voyage 2050 white paper: A Polarized View of the Hot and Violent Universe
Paolo Soffitta, Niccolò Bucciantini, Eugene Churazov +27
Since the birth of X-ray Astronomy, spectacular advances have been seen in the imaging, spectroscopic and timing studies of the hot and violent X-ray Universe, and further leaps fo…
A Wind-Disk Self-Irradiation Model For Supercritical Accretion
Yuhan Yao, Hua Feng
Optical emission from actively accreting X-ray binaries is dominated by X-ray reprocessing on the outer disk. In the regime of supercritical accretion, strong radiation will power…
GRID: a Student Project to Monitor the Transient Gamma-Ray Sky in the Multi-Messenger Astronomy Era
Jiaxing Wen, Xiangyun Long, Xutao Zheng +139
The Gamma-Ray Integrated Detectors (GRID) is a space mission concept dedicated to monitoring the transient gamma-ray sky in the energy range from 10 keV to 2 MeV using scintillatio…
PolarLight: a CubeSat X-ray Polarimeter based on the Gas Pixel Detector
Hua Feng, Weichun Jiang, Massimo Minuti +20
The gas pixel detector (GPD) is designed and developed for high-sensitivity astronomical X-ray polarimetry, which is a new window about to open in a few years. Due to the small mas…
Super-Eddington accretion onto the Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124
Lian Tao, Hua Feng, Shuangnan Zhang +4
We report on the spectral behavior of the first Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 with NuSTAR observations during its 2017-2018 outburst. At sub-Eddington leve…
