4U 1538-52 in a Heartbeat: Broadband X-ray Spectral Properties from XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, A. -L. Doherty +8
Galactic high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are important systems for studying accretion mechanisms onto compact objects and for investigating the complex stellar winds of massive st…
Double-hump spectrum, pulse profile dip, and pulsed fraction spectra from the low-accretion regime in the X-ray pulsar MAXI J0655-013
C. Malacaria, S. N. Pike, A. D'Aì +18
Accreting X-ray pulsars (XRPs) undergo different physical regimes depending on the mass accretion rate. Recent observations have shown a dramatic change in the emission properties…
Pulse profile variations in the accreting X-ray pulsar Vela X-1
V. Madurga-Favieres, A. Martin-Carrillo, C. M. Diez +7
Vela X-1 is a well-studied accreting X-ray pulsar, with a distinctive pulse profile that has been found to be very similar in different observations spread out over decades. On the…
Low-frequency spectra of neutron star + OB supergiant binaries: Does wind density drive persistent and flaring modes of accretion?
J. van den Eijnden, L. Sidoli, M. DÃaz Trigo +10
Neutron star high-mass X-ray binaries are well-studied in wavebands between the infrared and hard X-rays. Their low-frequency millimeter and radio properties, on the other hand, re…
First look at Vela X-1 with XRISM: A simultaneous campaign with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, M. Zhou +6
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) serve as useful laboratories for exploring the behaviour of accreted matter onto compact objects and for probing the complex wind environments of m…
Don't torque like that. Measuring compact object magnetic fields with analytic torque models
J. J. R. Stierhof, E. Sokolova-Lapa, K. Berger +10
Context. Changes of the rotational period observed in various magnetized accreting sources are generally attributed to the interaction between the in-falling plasma and the large-s…
