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…
Exploring the spin dependence on mass inclination and distance for the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0-572147
Yujia Song, James F. Steiner, Tong Zhao +7
The black hole X-ray binary (BHXRB) Swift J151857.0-572147 was discovered during its first outburst in March 2024. We review the archive of NICER observations from this outburst, f…
Coronal Mass Ejections Deflected by Newly Emerging Flux: A Combined Analytic and Numerical Study
Yuhao Chen, Chengcai Shen, Zhixing Mei +8
Newly emerging flux (NEF) has been widely studied as a trigger of solar filament eruptions, but its influence on the subsequent dynamics remains poorly explored. Because NEF typica…
Probing the Strong Gravity Region of Black Holes with eXTP
Qingcui Bu, Cosimo Bambi, Lijun Gou +42
We present the novel capabilities of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to study the strong gravity region around stellar-mass black holes in X-ray binary sys…
