Energy-resolved pulse profiles of Vela X-1: cross-calibrating XMM-Newton and NuSTAR to trace spectral features

Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Antonino D'Aì, Camille M. Diez +12

Pulse profiles probe the emission geometry of accreting X-ray pulsars, but their observed shapes may depend on instrumental response and observational setup. The pulsed fraction sp…

Discovery of a Luminosity-dependent Continuum Lag in NGC 4151 from Photometric and Spectroscopic Continuum Reverberation Mapping

Hai-Cheng Feng, Sha-Sha Li, Mouyuan Sun +17

Accretion onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs) powers active galactic nuclei (AGNs) and drives feedback that shapes galaxy evolution. Constraining AGN accretion disk structure is…

How the spin-phase variability of cyclotron lines shapes the pulsed fraction spectra: insights from 4U 1538-52

Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Ekaterina Sokolova-Lapa, Antonino D'Aì +15

We study the energy-dependent pulse profile of 4U 1538-52 and its phase-dependent spectral variability, with emphasis on the behavior around the cyclotron resonant scattering featu…

The X-ray Integral Field Unit at the end of the Athena reformulation phase

Philippe Peille, Didier Barret, Edoardo Cucchetti +279

The Athena mission entered a redefinition phase in July 2022, driven by the imperative to reduce the mission cost at completion for the European Space Agency below an acceptable ta…

Energy-resolved pulse profile changes in V 0332+53: Indications of wings in the cyclotron absorption line profile

Antonino D'Aì, Dimitrios K. Maniadakis, Carlo Ferrigno +15

We aim to investigate the energy-resolved pulse profile changes of the accreting X-ray pulsar V 0332+53, focusing in the cyclotron line energy range, using the full set of availabl…

Search for the multiwavelength counterparts to extragalactic unassociated Fermi γ-ray sources

Alberto Ulgiati, Simona Paiano, Fabio Pintore +7

Aims. In this paper, we searched for multi-wavelength (X-ray, optical and radio) counterparts to the unassociated gamma-ray sources (UGS) of the Fermi 4FGL-DR4 catalog. The main go…
