A candidate proton cyclotron feature in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4656 ULX-1
Nelson Cruz-Sanchez, Enzo A. Saavedra, Federico A. Fogantini +6
Ultraluminous X-ray sources represent extreme super-Eddington accretion regimes, and a subset is now known to host highly magnetized neutron stars. However, direct observational pr…
The very faint X-ray transient Swift J174610-290018 at the Galactic center
Giovanni Stel, Gabriele Ponti, Nathalie Degenaar +17
Very Faint X-ray Transients (VFXTs) are a class of X-ray binary systems that exhibit occasional outbursts with peak X-ray luminosities (L_X< 1e36 erg s^-1) much lower than typical…
Deep Chandra X-ray observation of the isolated black hole OGLE-2011-BLG-0462
Sandro Mereghetti, Lara Sidoli, Gabriele Ponti +1
OGLE-2011-BLG-0462 is an isolated black hole of ~7 solar masses at a distance of 1.5 kpc identified thanks to the astrometric microlensing technique. It is the first specimen disco…
Galactic transient sources with the Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory
Cherenkov Telescope Array Observatory Consortium
A wide variety of Galactic sources show transient emission at soft and hard X-ray energies: low- and high-mass X-ray binaries containing compact objects, isolated neutron stars exh…
The role of XMM-Newton in the investigation of persistent BeXRBs
N. La Palombara, L. Sidoli, S. Mereghetti +5
The persistent BeXRBs are a class of High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXRBs), which are characterized by persistent low X-ray luminosities ( erg s) and wid…
