Sub-second infrared variability from the archetypal accreting neutron star 4U~1728-34

F. M. Vincentelli, P. Casella, A. Borghese +23

We report on the first simultaneous high-time resolution X-ray and infrared (IR) observations of a neutron star low mass X-ray binary in its hard state. We performed h…

Discovery of a magnetar candidate X-ray pulsar in the Large Magellanic Cloud

M. Imbrogno, G. L. Israel, G. A. Rodríguez Castillo +11

During a systematic search for new X-ray pulsators in the XMM-Newton archive, we discovered a high amplitude () periodic () modulation in the…

First detection of X-ray polarization from the accreting neutron star 4U 1820-303

Alessandro Di Marco, Fabio La Monaca, Juri Poutanen +116

This paper reports the first detection of polarization in the X-rays for atoll-source 4U 1820-303, obtained with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) at 99.999% confidence…

Magnetar central engines in gamma-ray busts follow the universal relation of accreting magnetic stars

Simone Dall'Osso, Giulia Stratta, Rosalba Perna +2

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), both long and short, are explosive events whose inner engine is generally expected to be a black hole or a highly magnetic neutron star (magnetar) accretin…

Timing analysis of the 2022 outburst of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.43658: hints of an orbital shrinking

Giulia Illiano, Alessandro Papitto, Andrea Sanna +19

We present a pulse timing analysis of NICER observations of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.43658 during the outburst that started on 2022 August 19. Similar to…

Black hole mass and spin measurements through the Relativistic Precession Model: XTE J1859+226

S. E Motta, T. Belloni, L. Stella +5

The X-ray light curves of accreting black holes and neutron stars in binary systems show various types of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), the origin of which is still debated.…
