Constraining the Neutron Star Mass-Radius Relation and Dense Matter Equation of State with NICER. I. The Millisecond Pulsar X-ray Data Set
Slavko Bogdanov, Sebastien Guillot, Paul S. Ray +27
We present the set of deep Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) X-ray timing observations of the nearby rotation-powered millisecond pulsars PSRs J0437-4715, J0030+04…
Relativistic reflection and reverberation in GX 339-4 with NICER and NuSTAR
Jingyi Wang, Erin Kara, James Steiner +8
We analyze seven NICER and NuSTAR epochs of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 in the hard state during its two most recent hard-only outbursts in 2017 and 2019. These observatio…
1ES 1927+654: An AGN Caught Changing Look on a Timescale of Months
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Iair Arcavi, Chelsea L. MacLeod +21
We study the sudden optical and ultraviolet (UV) brightening of 1ES 1927+654, which until now was known as a narrow-line active galactic nucleus (AGN). 1ES 1927+654 was part of the…
The corona contracts in a black-hole transient
E. Kara, J. F. Steiner, A. C. Fabian +11
The geometry of the accretion flow around stellar-mass black holes can change on timescales of days to months. When a black hole emerges from quiescence (that is, it "turns on" aft…
A new class of flares from accreting supermassive black holes
Benny Trakhtenbrot, Iair Arcavi, Claudio Ricci +26
Accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can exhibit variable emission across the electromagnetic spectrum and over a broad range of timescales. The variability of active galacti…
