Discovery of a New Spectral Transition in Swift J0243.6+6124 in the Sub-Eddington Regime
Bo-Yan Chen, Shu Zhang, Qing-Cang Shui +9
We conduct a detailed spectral analysis of the Galactic ultraluminous X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 in its sub-Eddington regime, using Insight-HXMT and NICER observations during…
Investigation on Quasi-periodic Oscillation Phase Lag of RE J1034+396
Wen-Zhong Li, Shu Zhang, Qing-Cang Shui +9
We conduct an in-depth study of the quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) properties of RE J1034+396, by constructing QPO phase-folded light curves from 10 XMM-Newton observations durin…
Long-term evolution of cyclotron resonant scattering features in the accreting pulsar Vela X-1: A pulse-to-pulse approach
Yu-Jia Du, Peng-Ju Wang, Lorenzo Ducci +5
We investigated the long-term evolution of the cyclotron line energy, as well as the relationship between cyclotron line energy and luminosity in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-…
Revealing an Oscillating and Contracting Compact Corona near the Event Horizon of the Supermassive Black Hole in 1ES 1927+654
Qing-Cang Shui, Shu Zhang, Shuang-Nan Zhang +7
Dynamic processes in the accretion flow near black holes produce X-ray flux variability, sometimes quasi-periodic. Determining its physical origin is key to mapping accretion geome…
The peculiar disk evolution of 4U 1630--472 observed by Insight-HXMT during the 2022 and 2023 outbursts
Jing-Qiang Peng, Shu Zhang, Qing-Cang Shui +10
We study the spectral properties of the black hole X-ray transient binary 4U 1630--472 during the 2022 and 2023 outbursts with Insight-HXMT observations. We find that the outbursts…
Insight-HXMT, NICER and NuSTAR views to the newly discovered black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0--572147
Jing-Qiang Peng, Shu Zhang, Qing-Cang Shui +10
The systematic properties are largely unknown for the black hole X-ray binary Swift J151857.0--572147 newly discovered in the 2024 outburst. The nature of a black hole can be compl…
