The line modulations of H-like Fe, Ca, Ar, and S observed with /Resolve in Cyg X-3

Tomohiro Hakamata, Hirokazu Odaka, Ryota Tomaru +13

Cygnus X-3, hosting a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star whose dense wind produces various spectral lines due to photoionization by X-rays from a compact object, provides an ideal laboratory for…

Refined Constraints on the Hard X-ray Polarization of the Crab Pulsar and Nebula Derived from an Extended XL-Calibur Dataset

Matthew G. Baring, Jacob Casey, Sohee Chun +26

We present updated hard X-ray polarization measurements of the Crab pulsar and nebula obtained with the balloon-borne polarimeter XL-Calibur in the ~19-64 keV energy range. During…

XL-Calibur measurements of polarised hard X-ray emission from the Crab

Hisamitsu Awaki, Matthew G. Baring, Richard Bose +46

We report measurements of the linear polarisation degree (PD) and angle (PA) for hard X-ray emission from the Crab pulsar and wind nebula. Measurements were made with the XL-Calibu…

XL-Calibur Polarimetry of Cyg X-1 Further Constrains the Origin of its Hard-state X-ray Emission

Hisamitsu Awaki, Matthew G. Baring, Richard Bose +36

The balloon-borne hard X-ray polarimetry mission XL-Calibur observed the Black Hole X-ray Binary (BHXRB) Cygnus X-1 (Cyg X-1) during its nearly six-day Long Duration Balloon (LDB)…

XRISM spectroscopy on orbital modulation of Fe Ly lines in Cygnus X-3

Daiki Miura, Hiroya Yamaguchi, Ralf Ballhausen +17

To understand physical processes such as mass transfer and binary evolution in X-ray binaries, the orbital parameters of the system are fundamental and crucial information. Cygnus…

NuSTAR detection of a hot stellar superflare with a temperature of 95 MK in hard X-rays

Tomohiro Hakamata, Hironori Matsumoto, Hirokazu Odaka +1

A search of the hard X-ray archive data of NuSTAR found a transient source, NuSTAR J230059+5857.4, during an observation of 1E 2259+586 on 2013 April 25. A multi-wavelength analysi…
