First X-ray detection of symbiotic nova CN Cha with eROSITA/SRG

Sara Saeedi, Jaroslav Merc, Manami Sasaki +2

Aims. We report on the first X-ray detection of the symbiotic star CN Cha with eROSITA (extended Roentgen Survey with an Imaging Telescope Array) onboard Spektrum-Roentgen Gamma (S…

Ultraluminous X-ray sources in the first eROSITA survey I. Candidate catalogs

P. Weber, T. P. Roberts, S. Hämmerich +28

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are luminous non-nuclear X-ray point sources embedded in galaxies. Their luminosities exceeding 10^39 erg/s potentially require sub-Eddington acc…

EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics

Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137

The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…

Spectral and timing variability of the transient ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4631 X-4

Sinan Allak, Wei Yu, Lorenzo Ducci +4

Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are among the best laboratories for studying super-Eddington accretion onto compact objects. We present a detailed spectral and timing analysis o…

A candidate cyclotron line at 1.89 keV in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4861 X-2

Sinan Allak, Lorenzo Ducci, Valery F. Suleimanov +6

In this Letter, we report the detection of an absorption-like feature at ~1.89 keV in Chandra/ACIS spectra of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4861 X-2, based on the deepest obse…

NICER detection of a new candidate cyclotron line in the bursting X-ray pulsar GRO J1744-28

Qi Liu, Lingda Kong, Long Ji +15

We report the detection of cyclotron resonant scattering features (CRSFs) in the spectrum of the unique bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28, observed during its recent outburst in 2021 wi…
