Evidence of spreading layer emission in thermonuclear superbursts
K. I. I. Koljonen, J. J. E. Kajava, E. Kuulkers
When a neutron star accretes matter from a companion star in a low-mass X-ray binary, the accreted gas settles onto the stellar surface through a boundary/spreading layer. On rare…
Events leading up to the June 2015 outburst of V404 Cyg
F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell, A. W. Shaw +5
On 2015 June 15 the burst alert telescope (BAT) on board {\em Swift} detected an X-ray outburst from the black hole transient V404 Cyg. We monitored V404 Cyg for the last 10 years…
Probing the effects of a thermonuclear X-ray burst on the neutron star accretion flow with NuSTAR
N. Degenaar, K. I. I. Koljonen, D. Chakrabarty +4
Observational evidence has been accumulating that thermonuclear X-ray bursts ignited on the surface of neutron stars influence the surrounding accretion flow. Here, we exploit the…
