Accreting Neutron Stars in Low-Mass X-ray Binaries

M. C. Baglio, S. E. Motta, A. P. Nitindala +1

Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs) are systems in which a neutron star accretes matter from a Roche-lobe-filling companion via an accretion disc, releasing gravitation…

CHASE: Channel-Aligned Structure Exploitation for Geometry-Aware Model Engineering

Wei Wang, Wei Jiang, Ziran Liu

Geometric and Spectral Alignment (GSA) characterizes trained networks through spectral concentration, physical-channel alignment, support structure, and changes in singular bases.…

Inelastic scattering effects on polarization predictions for cold and warm atmospheres in the X-rays

J. Podgorný, L. Marra, M. Dovčiak +8

X-ray polarization models of accreting compact objects often assume the so-called Chandrasekhar-Sobolev polarization prescription for elastic Thomson scattering in electron-scatter…

EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics

Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137

The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…

Real-time observations of the transition to the quiescent state in an accreting magnetised neutron star: No propeller required?

Sergey S. Tsygankov, Galina Lipunova, Valery F. Suleimanov +6

The final stages of outbursts in transient X-ray pulsars (XRPs), which are characterised by a significant decline in the mass accretion rate, provide valuable insight into the phys…

Peering through the dip: IXPE unveils the extended scattering environment of GX 13+1

Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Luigi Stella +17

Neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries feature complex accretion geometries, often including an accretion disk corona or disk winds. Here, a study of the highly inclined dipping sour…
