Apparently ultra-long period radio sources from self-lensed pulsar-black hole binaries
Xinxu Xiao, Rong-feng Shen
Pulsar-black hole (BH) close binary systems, which have not been found yet, are unique laboratories for testing theories of gravity and understanding the formation channels of grav…
Quasi-periodic oscillation in short gamma-ray bursts from black hole-neutron star mergers
Yan Li, Rong-Feng Shen, Bin-Bin Zhang
Short-duration gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) are commonly attributed to the mergers of double neutron stars (NSs) or the mergers of a neutron star with a black hole (BH). While the form…
The radio detection and accretion properties of the peculiar nuclear transient AT 2019avd
Yanan Wang, Ranieri D. Baldi, Santiago del Palacio +19
AT 2019avd is a nuclear transient detected from infrared to soft X-rays, though its nature is yet unclear. The source has shown two consecutive flaring episodes in the optical and…
A possible 250-second X-ray quasi-periodicity in the fast blue optical transient AT2018cow
Wenjie Zhang, Xinwen Shu, Jin-Hong Chen +11
The fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) are a new population of extragalactic transients of unclear physical origin. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed including failed su…
ET White Paper: To Find the First Earth 2.0
Jian Ge, Hui Zhang, Weicheng Zang +163
We propose to develop a wide-field and ultra-high-precision photometric survey mission, temporarily named "Earth 2.0 (ET)". This mission is designed to measure, for the first time,…
X-ray constraint for the unseen companion of V723 Mon: it is a mass-gap black hole rather than binary neutron stars
Yan Li, Erlin Qiao, Rong-Feng Shen
Recently, the red giant V723 Mon is reported to have an unseen companion with a mass of , but question remains about whether it is a single (thus the so-calle…
