A systematic study of the high-frequency bump in the black-hole low-mass X-ray binary GX 339-4

Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, Sara E. Motta +8

The high-frequency bump, characterized by a frequency exceeding ~30 Hz, represents a seldom-explored time-variability feature in the power density spectrum (PDS) of black-hole X-ra…

The origin of UV/optical emission in the black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127

Pengcheng Yang, Guobao Zhang, David M. Russell +4

The emission from the accreting black holes (BHs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) covers a broad energy band from radio to X-rays. Studying the correlations between emission in…

The study of multi-peaked type-I X-ray bursts in the neutron-star low mass X-ray binary 4U 1636536 with RXTE

Chen Li, Guobao Zhang, Mariano Méndez +2

We have found and analysed 16 multi-peaked type-I bursts from the neutron-star low mass X-ray binary 4U 163653 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). One of the bursts is…

XMM-Newton and NICER measurement of the rms spectrum of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53

Ming Lyu, Guobao Zhang, Mariano Mendez +4

We used two XMM-Newton and six Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations to investigate the fractional rms amplitude of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillat…

Discovery of an accretion-rate independent absolute RMS amplitude of millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 1636-53

Ming Lyu, Mariano Mendez, D. Altamirano +2

We investigate the frequency and amplitude of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary (NS LMXB) 4U 1636-53 using Rossi X-ray…

The amplitude of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 163653 in the frequency-energy space

Evandro M. Ribeiro, Mariano Méndez, Marcio G. B. de Avellar +2

We present for the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 163653, and for the first time for any source of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs), the two-dimensional b…
