Disc Winds From Accreting Systems in the 2040s
Noel Castro Segura, Virginia Cúneo, Francesco Tombesi +9
What does the temporal evolution of disc winds tell us about accreting systems and the accretion process? Studies of accretion-disc outflows across all mass scales, including accre…
Nova Explosions in 2040
Alessandro Ederoclite, Domitilla De Martino, Paul Groot +7
Novae are thermonuclear explosions on the surface of accreting white dwarfs and are key laboratories for studying explosive nucleosynthesis, particle acceleration, shock physics, a…
The multiple facets of millisecond pulsar binaries
A. Miraval Zanon, G. Illiano, F. Ambrosino +17
Millisecond pulsar (MSP) binaries are unique laboratories for studying matter and radiation under extreme conditions that are unattainable on Earth. Recent detections of optical mi…
How Mass Flows Through Accretion Discs: A Spectral-Timing Vision for the 2040s
Simone Scaringi, Domitilla de Martino, Anna F. Pala +17
Understanding how mass and angular momentum flow through accretion discs remains a fundamental unsolved problem in astrophysics. Accreting white dwarfs offer an ideal laboratory fo…
An ultraviolet burst oscillation candidate from the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676
A. Miraval Zanon, F. Ambrosino, G. Illiano +15
X-ray burst oscillations are quasi-coherent periodic signals at frequencies close to the neutron star spin frequency. They are observed during thermonuclear Type I X-ray bursts fro…
Einstein Probe discovery of the short period intermediate polar EP J115415.8-501810
Y. Xiao, M. Ge, N. Rea +21
The X-ray transient source EP240309a/EP\,J115415.8501810 was first detected by the Wide-Field X-ray Telescope (WXT) on board Einstein Probe (EP) during the commissioning phase.…
