An Insight-HXMT View of the Evolution of the Type-C Quasiperiodic Oscillation during the Flaring State of Swift J1727.8-1613
Min Wei, Xiang Ma, Liang Zhang +16
We present a detailed analysis of the evolution of type-C quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) observed during the flaring state of the recently discovered black hole X-ray binary Swi…
Characteristics of the High-frequency Humps in the Black hole X-ray Binary Swift J1727.8--1613
Ze-Xi Li, Liang Zhang, Lian Tao +13
We present a detailed timing analysis of the two high-frequency humps observed in the power density spectrum of Swift J1727.8--1613 up to 100 keV, using data from the Hard X-ray Mo…
Testing the Lense-Thirring Precession Origin of the QPO in Swift J1727.81613
Ruican Ma, Chris Done, Aya Kubota
We present a comprehensive spectral and timing analysis of the newly discovered black hole transient Swift J1727.81613, based on broadband (2150 keV) observations from $Insig…
Back to business: SLX 1746--331 after 13 years of silence
Jing-Qiang Peng, Shu Zhang, Peng-Ju Wang +17
The black hole candidate system SLX 1746--331 was back to business in 2023, after a long silence of roughly 13 years. An outburst was observed thoroughly by \textit{Insight}-HXMT a…
Science objectives of the Einstein Probe mission
Weimin Yuan, Lixin Dai, Hua Feng +93
The Einstein Probe (EP) is an interdisciplinary mission of time-domain and X-ray astronomy. Equipped with a wide-field lobster-eye X-ray focusing imager, EP will discover cosmic X-…
