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…
3D particle-in-cell simulations of pulsar wind-disk interaction: application to the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038
Valentina Richard-Romei, Benoît Cerutti, Alessandro Papitto +1
Transitional millisecond pulsars constitute a peculiar subclass of neutron stars in which the pulsar alternates between accretion-powered and rotation-powered states, depending on…
A FAST search for radio pulsations during the dormant state of the AMSPs IGR J00291+5934 and MAXI J1957+032
A. Marino, E. Parent, F. Coti Zelati +15
Accreting millisecond pulsars (AMSPs) and transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) are neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries which can evolve into "recycled" radio millisecond pulsa…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP J171159.4-333253: an eclipsing neutron star low-mass X-ray binary with clocked bursts
Y. L. Wang, F. Coti Zelati, E. Parent +27
EP J171159.4-333253 is a new neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary discovered in outburst by the Einstein Probe (EP) on 2025 June 23, exhibiting clocked type-I X-ray bursts, eclipses…
A deep X-ray and UV look into the reflaring stage of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658
Caterina Ballocco, Alessandro Papitto, Arianna Miraval Zanon +12
We present an X-ray and UV high-time-resolution monitoring of the final flaring phase of the 2022 outburst of the AMSP SAX J1808.4-3658, based on simultaneous XMM-Newton and HST ob…
Magnetic-field Order in the Southwestern Rim of RCW 86 Constrained Using X-Ray Polarimetry
Stefano Silvestri, Dmitry Prokhorov, Jacco Vink +97
RCW 86 is a supernova remnant whose origin has recently been linked to an off-center explosion within a cavity created by its progenitor star. In the southwestern region, the forwa…
