Magnetic rigidity reveals the PeVatron acceleration region in SS 433
Jie Liao, Wancheng Xu, Lang Cui +10
PeVatrons are cosmic accelerators capable of driving particles to petaelectronvolt (PeV) energies. Recently, microquasar jets have emerged as compelling Galactic PeVatron candidate…
X-Ray Intraday Variability of the Blazar OJ 287 Observed with XMM-Newton
Tao Huang, Alok C. Gupta, Lang Cui +4
We present X-ray intraday variability, cross-correlated variability, and power spectrum density analysis of the binary black hole blazar candidate OJ 287. The X-ray pointed observa…
Testing General Relativity with NuSTAR data of Galactic Black Holes : II
Ashutosh Tripathi, Swarnim Shashank, Gitika Mall +1
General relativity predicts the spacetime metric around an astrophysical black hole to be described by the Kerr solution, which is a massive rotating black hole without any residua…
Probable Quasi-Periodic Oscillations in the {\tt TESS} observations of blazars in the Swift X-ray Survey
Ashutosh Tripathi, Paul J. Wiita, Krista Lynne Smith
This work presents possible quasi-periodic oscillations in the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite observations of blazars that are in the 157-month hard X-ray survey done by Swi…
Application of time-series analysis methods to a multiple-sector TESS observations: the case of the radio-loud blazar 3C 371
Ashutosh Tripathi, Paul J. Wiita, Ryne Dingler +4
We present various time series analysis methods to analyze multiple-sector observations of bright AGN from the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) and examine whether issu…
Tracking the jet-like corona of black hole Swift J1727.8-1613 during a flare state through Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations
Jie Liao, Ning Chang, Lang Cui +10
Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole X-ray transients typically manifest in the low-hard and hard-intermediate states. This study presents a detailed spectral an…
