X-ray variability of the HMXB Cen X-3: evidence for inhomogeneous accretion flows
Graciela Sanjurjo-Ferrín, Jose Miguel Torrejón, Konstantin Postnov +3
Cen X-3 is a compact high mass X-ray binary likely powered by Roche lobe overflow. We present a phase-resolved X-ray spectral and timing analysis of two pointed XMM-Newton observat…
Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRAL and Future Directions
Peter Kretschmar, Felix Fürst, Lara Sidoli +48
High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology,…
High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of the stellar wind in Vela X-1 during a flare
M. Lomaeva, V. Grinberg, M. Guainazzi +8
We present a 130 ks observation of the prototypical wind-accreting, high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 collected with XMM-Newton at orbital phases between 0.12 and 0.28. A stron…
NuSTAR rules out a cyclotron line in the accreting magnetar candidate 4U2206+54
J. M. Torrejón, P. Reig, F. Fürst +3
Based on our new NuSTAR X-ray telescope data, we rule out any cyclotron line up to 60 keV in the spectra of the high mass X-ray binary 4U2206+54. In particular, we do not find any…
IGR J19294+1816: a new Be-X ray binary revealed through infrared spectroscopy
J. J. Rodes-Roca, G. Bernabeu, A. Magazzù +2
The aim of this work is to characterize the counterpart to the INTEGRAL High Mass X-ray Binary candidate IGR J19294+1816 so as to establish its true nature. We obtained H band spec…
XMM-Newton spectroscopy of the accreting magnetar candidate 4U0114+65
Graciela Sanjurjo, Jose Miguel Torrejon, Konstantin Postnov +3
4U011465 is one of the slowest known X-ray pulsars. We present an analysis of a pointed observation by the XMM-Newton X-ray telescope. The energy-resolved light curve, the time-…
