Discovery of a magnetar candidate X-ray pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud

M. Imbrogno, G. L. Israel, G. A. Rodríguez Castillo +11

During a systematic search for new X-ray pulsators in the XMM-Newton archive, we discovered a high amplitude () periodic () modulation in the…

Probing the nature of the low state in the extreme ultraluminous X-ray pulsar NGC 5907 ULX1

F. Fuerst, D. J. Walton, G. L. Israel +13

NGC 5907 ULX1 is the most luminous ultra-luminous X-ray pulsar (ULXP) known to date, reaching luminosities in excess of 1e41 erg/s. The pulsar is known for its fast spin-up during…

Deep X-ray and radio observations of the first outburst of the young magnetar Swift J1818.0-1607

A. Y. Ibrahim, A. Borghese, N. Rea +23

Swift J1818.0-1607 is a radio-loud magnetar with a spin period of 1.36 s and a dipolar magnetic field strength of B~3E14 G, which is very young compared to the Galactic pulsar popu…

EXTraS discovery of two pulsators in the direction of the LMC: a Be/X-ray binary pulsar in the LMC and a candidate double-degenerate polar in the foreground

F. Haberl, G. L. Israel, G. A. Rodriguez Castillo +10

The EXTraS project to explore the X-ray Transient and variable Sky searches for coherent signals in the X-ray archival data of XMM-Newton. XMM-Newton performed more than 400 pointe…

An accreting pulsar with extreme properties drives an ultraluminous x-ray source in NGC 5907

G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore, L. Stella +20

Ultraluminous x-ray sources (ULXs) in nearby galaxies shine brighter than any X-ray source in our Galaxy. ULXs are usually modeled as stellar-mass black holes (BHs) accreting at ve…

Discovery of a 0.42-s pulsar in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 7793 P13

G. L. Israel, A. Papitto, P. Esposito +11

NGC 7793 P13 is a variable (luminosity range ~100) ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) proposed to host a stellar-mass black hole of less than 15 M in a binary system with o…
