Investigating the Hard State of MAXI J1820+070: A Comprehensive Bayesian Approach to Black Hole Spin and Accretion Properties
Sachin D. Dias, Simon Vaughan, Mehdy Lefkir +1
We analyse the X-ray spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 using observations from XMM-Newton and NuSTAR during 'hard' states of its 2018-2019 outburst. We take a…
Binary evolution with LOFT
T. J. Maccarone, R. A. M. Wijnands, N. Degenaar +10
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
Broadband modelling of short gamma-ray bursts with energy injection from magnetar spin-down and its implications for radio detectability
B. P. Gompertz, A. J. van der Horst, P. T. O'Brien +2
The magnetar model has been proposed to explain the apparent energy injection in the X-ray light curves of short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), but its implications across the full broa…
Magnetar powered GRBs: Explaining the extended emission and X-ray plateau of short GRB light curves
B. P. Gompertz, P. T. O'Brien, G. A. Wynn
Extended emission (EE) is a high-energy, early time rebrightening sometimes seen in the light curves of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We present the first contiguous fits to the E…
Swift observations of the X-ray and UV evolution of V2491 Cyg (Nova Cyg 2008 No. 2)
K. L. Page, J. P. Osborne, P. A. Evans +8
We present extensive, high-density Swift observations of V2491 Cyg (Nova Cyg 2008 No. 2). Observing the X-ray emission from only one day after the nova discovery, the source is fol…
