Detection of a puzzling dual-superorbital hard X-ray modulation in the X-ray binary GX 301-2
Haoyang Zhang, Li Zhang
The superorbital modulations (SMs) observed in wind-fed X-ray binaries remain a puzzling phenomenon in astrophysics. To investigate this behavior observationally, we analyzed the l…
Pattern and Origin for the Extreme -ray Flares of 3C 454.3 and 3C 279: An Astrophysical Critical Damper?
Haiyun Zhang, Dahai Yan, Jianeng Zhou +2
We apply a Gaussian process method to the extreme -ray flares of 3C 454.3 and 3C 279 to discover the variable patterns and then to investigate the physical origins of the giant…
Revisiting the observation-theory confrontation in high-frequency QPOs:a new QPO in NGC 5506, intermediate mass black holes, and the crucial role of accretion state
Haoyang Zhang, Lingwei Meng, Li Zhang +1
The scale invariance of accretion processes (SIAP) is crucial for understanding the physical processes of black hole accretion systems at different scales. When applying this rule…
Evidence for Magneto-gravitational Processes in Supermassive Black Hole Binary PG 1553+113
Haiyun Zhang, Dahai Yan, Li Zhang +1
PG1553+113 has drawn significant attention for its quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in gamma-ray variability, though the origin of its variability remains uncertain. In this study,…
