The low luminosity end of Galactic HMXBs with eROSITA: Establishing a luminosity floor for accreting BeXRBs

Aafia Zainab, Philipp Thalhammer, Nico Zalot +18

We present a first look at the Galactic population of heretofore known HMXBs as observed by SRG/eROSITA during its first four surveys. eROSITA's sensitivity of $\sim10^{-13}\,\math…

Sharp Periodic Flares and Long-Term Variability in the High-Mass X-ray Binary XTE J1829-098 from RXTE PCA, Swift BAT and MAXI Observations

Robin H. D. Corbet, Ralf Ballhausen, Peter A. Becker +20

XTE J1829-098 is a transient X-ray pulsar with a period of ~7.8 s. It is a candidate Be star system, although the evidence for this is not yet definitive. We investigated the twent…

Impact of the disk magnetization on MHD disk wind signature

Sudeb Ranjan Datta, Susmita Chakravorty, Jonathan Ferreira +8

Observation of blue-shifted X-ray absorption lines indicates the presence of wind from the accretion disk in X-ray binaries. Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) driving is one of the possibl…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): Probing Accretion onto Stellar Mass Black Holes

Riley Connors, John Tomsick, Paul Draghis +20

Accretion is a universal astrophysical process that plays a key role in cosmic history, from the epoch of reionization to galaxy and stellar formation and evolution. Accreting stel…

The High Energy X-ray Probe (HEX-P): A New Window into Neutron Star Accretion

R. M. Ludlam, C. Malacaria, E. Sokolova-Lapa +15

Accreting neutron stars (NSs) represent a unique laboratory for probing the physics of accretion in the presence of strong magnetic fields ( G). Additionally, the ma…
