Spectral and Timing Properties of IGR J17091-3624 in the Rising Hard State During its 2016 Outburst
Yanjun Xu, Javier A. Garcia, Felix Fuerst +8
We present a spectral and timing study of the NuSTAR and Swift observations of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 in the hard state during its outburst in 2016. Disk reflecti…
An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
Poshak Gandhi, Matteo Bachetti, Vik S. Dhillon +25
Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leadin…
ULX spectra revisited: Accreting, highly magnetized neutron stars as the engines of ultraluminous X-ray sources
Filippos Koliopanos, Georgios Vasilopoulos, Olivier Godet +3
Aims: In light of recent discoveries of pulsating ULXs and recently introduced models, that propose neutron stars (NSs) as the central engines of ULXs, we revisit the (XMM-Newton a…
Single-dish and VLBI observations of Cygnus X-3 during the 2016 giant flare episode
E. Egron, A. Pellizzoni, M. Giroletti +34
In September 2016, the microquasar Cygnus X-3 underwent a giant radio flare, which was monitored for 6 days with the Medicina Radio Astronomical Station and the Sardinia Radio Tele…
An XMM-Newton and NuSTAR study of IGR J18214-1318: a non-pulsating high-mass X-ray binary with a neutron star
Francesca M. Fornasini, John A. Tomsick, Matteo Bachetti +5
IGR J18214-1318, a Galactic source discovered by the International Gamma-Ray Astrophysics Laboratory, is a high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) with a supergiant O-type stellar donor. We…
Imaging of SNR IC443 and W44 with the Sardinia Radio Telescope at 1.5 GHz and 7 GHz
E. Egron, A. Pellizzoni, M. N. Iacolina +33
Observations of supernova remnants (SNRs) are a powerful tool for investigating the later stages of stellar evolution, the properties of the ambient interstellar medium, and the ph…
