The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) Community Science Book
Michael Koss, Nafisa Aftab, Steven W. Allen +395
The AXIS Community Science Book represents the collective effort of 592 scientists worldwide to define the transformative science enabled by the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (A…
The very faint X-ray transient Swift J174610-290018 at the Galactic center
Giovanni Stel, Gabriele Ponti, Nathalie Degenaar +17
Very Faint X-ray Transients (VFXTs) are a class of X-ray binary systems that exhibit occasional outbursts with peak X-ray luminosities (L_X< 1e36 erg s^-1) much lower than typical…
The First X-Ray Polarimetry of an Eclipsing Low-Mass X-Ray Binary: Serendipitous IXPE Observation of AX J1745.6-2901
Romana Mikušincová, Lorenzo Marra, Hemanth Manikantan +38
We present the first X-ray polarimetric measurement of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary system AX J1745.6-2901 conducted by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) sate…
Exploring MAXI J1744-294: IXPE insights into a Newly Discovered X-ray Transient
Lorenzo Marra, Romana Mikušincová, Federico M. Vincentelli +33
We present the first IXPE spectro-polarimetric observation of the black hole candidate MAXI J1744294, a transient X-ray source discovered during a bright 2025 outburst in the Ga…
Multiwavelength observation of a candidate pulsar halo LHAASO J0621+3755 and the first X-ray detection of PSR J0622+3749
C. B. Adams, A. Archer, P. Bangale +71
Pulsar halos are regions around middle-aged pulsars extending out to tens of parsecs. The large extent of the halos and well-defined central cosmic-ray accelerators make this new c…
Detection of molecular clouds in the PeVatron candidate source LHAASO J03415258 by the Nobeyama 45-m radio telescope
Naomi Tsuji, Shunya Takekawa, Kaya Mori +8
We report a new CO observation survey of LHAASO J03415258 using the Nobeyama Radio Observatory (NRO) 45-m telescope. LHAASO J03415258 is one of the unidentified ultra-high-en…
