Pulse profile variations in the accreting X-ray pulsar Vela X-1
V. Madurga-Favieres, A. Martin-Carrillo, C. M. Diez +7
Vela X-1 is a well-studied accreting X-ray pulsar, with a distinctive pulse profile that has been found to be very similar in different observations spread out over decades. On the…
First look at Vela X-1 with XRISM: A simultaneous campaign with XMM-Newton and NuSTAR
C. M. Diez, S. Dupourqué, M. Zhou +6
High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) serve as useful laboratories for exploring the behaviour of accreted matter onto compact objects and for probing the complex wind environments of m…
Dimming GRS 1915+105 observed with NICER and Insight--HXMT
M. Zhou, V. Grinberg, A. Santangelo +6
The black hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105 was bright for 26 years since its discovery and is well-known for its disk instabilities, quasi-periodic oscillations, and disk wind signat…
Variable structures in the stellar wind of the HMXB Vela X-1
L. Abalo, P. Kretschmar, F. Fürst +9
Strong stellar winds are an important feature in wind-accreting high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) systems, providing insights into stellar evolution and their impact on surrounding env…
