Identification of an X-ray Pulsar in the BeXRB system IGR J182191347
B. O'Connor, E. Gogus, D. Huppenkothen +25
We report on observations of the candidate Be/X-ray binary IGR J182191347 with \textit{Swift}/XRT, \textit{NuSTAR}, and \textit{NICER} during Type-I outbursts in March and June…
A month of monitoring the new magnetar Swift J1555.2-5402 during an X-ray outburst
Teruaki Enoto, Mason Ng, Chin-ping Hu +23
The soft gamma-ray repeater Swift J1555.2-5402 was discovered by means of a 12-ms duration short burst detected with Swift BAT on 2021 June 3. Then 1.6 hours after the first burst…
Back to quiescence: post-outburst evolution of the pulsar J1119-6127 and its wind nebula
Harsha Blumer, Samar Safi-Harb, Alice Borghese +4
We report on the analysis of a deep Chandra observation of the high-magnetic field pulsar (PSR) J1119-6127 and its compact pulsar wind nebula (PWN) taken in October 2019, three yea…
Fermi-GBM Observations of the SGR J1935+2154 Burst Forest
Yuki Kaneko, Ersin Gogus, Matthew G. Baring +7
During 2020 April and May, SGR J1935+2154 emitted hundreds of short bursts and became one of the most prolific transient magnetars. At the onset of the active bursting period, a 13…
Search for Long-duration Gravitational-wave Signals Associated with Magnetar Giant Flares
Adrian Macquet, Marie-Anne Bizouard, Eric Burns +4
Magnetar giant flares are rare and highly energetic phenomena observed in the transient sky whose emission mechanisms are still not fully understood. Depending on the nature of the…
NuSTAR observation of LS 5039
Igor Volkov, Oleg Kargaltsev, George Younes +2
LS 5039 is a high-mass gamma-ray binary hosting a compact object of unknown type. NuSTAR observed LS 5039 during its entire 3.9 day binary period. We performed a periodic signal se…
Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin
E. Burns, D. Svinkin, K. Hurley +23
Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collap…
Rapid Spectral Variability of a Giant Flare from a Magnetar in NGC 253
O. J. Roberts, P. Veres, M. G. Baring +18
Magnetars are slowly-rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields ( G), episodically emitting ms long X-ray bursts with energies of $\sim10^{4…
