Systematic assessment of disk truncation in the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 using NICER
Ole König, James F. Steiner, Niek Bollemeijer +20
The 2023/24 NICER monitoring campaign of the 7 Crab bright black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613 covered the outburst in almost all accretion states. High-quality data are ava…
The Radius of PSR J0437-4715 from NICER Data
M. C. Miller, A. J. Dittmann, I. M. Holt +12
Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) data have been used to estimate the masses and radii of the rotation-powered millisecond pulsars PSR J00300451, PSR J074066…
Reprocessing from highly ionized gas in the soft spectral state of V4641 Sgr with NuSTAR
Riley M. T. Connors, Joey Neilsen, Aarran W. Shaw +6
V4641 Sgr is a low-mass black hole X-ray binary system with somewhat puzzling spectral characteristics during its soft state. Recent high-resolution spectroscopic studies of V4641…
Millihertz Oscillations Near the Innermost Orbit of a Supermassive Black Hole
Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou +22
Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repet…
