Spectral evolution of GX 17+2 using AstroSat and NICER observations

Sree Bhattacherjee, Ranjeev Misra, Biplob Sarkar +3

We study the spectral evolution of the Z-track source GX 17+2 using AstroSat and NICER observations taken between 2016 and 2020. The AstroSat observations cover the period when the…

Flaring activity from magnetic reconnection in BL Lacertae

S. Agarwal, B. Banerjee, A. Shukla +7

The evolution of the spectral energy distribution during flares constrains models of particle acceleration in blazar jets. The archetypical blazar BL Lac provided a unique opportun…

Neutron star mass estimates from gamma-ray eclipses in spider millisecond pulsar binaries

C. J. Clark, M. Kerr, E. D. Barr +26

Reliable neutron star mass measurements are key to determining the equation-of-state of cold nuclear matter, but these are rare. "Black Widows" and "Redbacks" are compact binaries…

A Gamma-ray Pulsar Timing Array Constrains the Nanohertz Gravitational Wave Background

M. Ajello, W. B. Atwood, L. Baldini +129

After large galaxies merge, their central supermassive black holes are expected to form binary systems whose orbital motion generates a gravitational wave background (GWB) at nanoh…
