Distribution of gamma-ray bursts on the t90-hardness ratio plane and their classification revisited
Liang Zhang, Juan-Juan Luo, Yong-Feng Huang +2
Using four mixed bivariate distributions (Normal distribution, Skew-Normal distribution, Student distribution, Skew-Student distribution) and bootstrap re-sampling analysis, we ana…
A possible 250-second X-ray quasi-periodicity in the fast blue optical transient AT2018cow
Wenjie Zhang, Xinwen Shu, Jin-Hong Chen +11
The fast blue optical transients (FBOTs) are a new population of extragalactic transients of unclear physical origin. A variety of mechanisms have been proposed including failed su…
High energy Millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 1A 0535+262 with Insight-HXMT challenge current models
Ruican Ma, Lian Tao, Shuang-Nan Zhang +21
We studied the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillation (mHz QPO) in the 2020 outburst of the Be/X-ray binary 1A 0535+262 using Insight-HXMT data over a broad energy band. The mHz QPO…
An Insight-HXMT view of the mHz quasi-regular modulation phenomenon in the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47
Zi-Xu Yang, Liang Zhang, Yue Huang +97
Here we report the spectral-timing results of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 during its 2021 outburst using observations from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope. Type-C qu…
Determination of QPO properties in the presence of strong broad-band noise: a case study on the data of MAXI J1820+070
Deng-Ke Zhou, Shuang-Nan Zhang, Li-Ming Song +8
Accurate calculation of the phase lags of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) will provide insight into their origin. In this paper we investigate the phase lag correction method wh…
Variability and phase lags of the type-C quasi-periodic oscillation of MAXI J1348-630 with NICER
Kevin Alabarta, Mariano Méndez, Federico García +4
We study the properties of the type-C quasi-periodic oscillation (type-C QPO) of MAXI J1348-630 during its 2019 outburst and reflare with NICER. This is the first time that the evo…
The evolving properties of the corona of GRS 1915+105: A spectral-timing perspective through variable-Comptonisation modelling
Federico García, Konstantinos Karpouzas, Mariano Méndez +4
The inverse Compton process by which soft photons are up-scattered by hot electrons in a corona plays a fundamental role in shaping the X-ray spectra of black-hole (BH) low-mass X-…
The evolution of the high-frequency variability in the black hole candidate GRS 1915+105 as seen by RXTE
Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, Federico García +5
GRS 1915+105 can show type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in the power density spectrum. A high-frequency QPO (HFQPO) at 67 Hz has been observed in this source, albeit less o…
The accretion flow geometry of MAXI J1820+070 through broadband noise research with Insight-HXMT
Zi-Xu Yang, Liang Zhang, Qing-Cui Bu +24
Here we present a detailed study of the broadband noise in the power density spectra of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during the hard state of its 2018 outburst, using…
Twin extreme ultraviolet waves in the solar corona
Ruisheng Zheng, Bing Wang, Liang Zhang +2
Solar extreme ultraviolet (EUV) waves are spectacular propagating disturbances with EUV enhancements in annular shapes in the solar corona. These EUV waves carry critical informati…
The evolution of the corona in MAXI J1535-571 through type-C quasi-periodic oscillations with Insight-HXMT
Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, Federico García +14
Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in black hole X-ray transients can appear when the source is in the low-hard and hard-intermediate states. The spectral-timing evolution o…
Coupling between the accreting corona and the relativistic jet in the micro quasar GRS 1915+105
Mariano Mendez, Konstantinos Karpouzas, Federico Garcia +4
GRS 1915+105 was the first stellar-mass black-hole in our Galaxy to display a superluminal radio jet, similar to those observed in active galactic nuclei with a supermassive black…
The disk wind in GRS 1915+105 as seen by Insight-HXMT
Honghui Liu, Yuhan Fu, Cosimo Bambi +7
We analyze three observations of GRS 1915+105 in 2017 by Insight-HXMT when the source was in a spectrally soft state. We find strong absorption lines from highly ionized iron, whic…
