The black hole low mass X-ray binary V404 Cygni is part of a wide hierarchical triple, and formed without a kick
Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Erin Kara +7
Evidence suggests that when compact objects such as black holes and neutron stars form, they may receive a ``natal kick,'' where the stellar remnant gains momentum. Observational e…
Testing EMRI models for Quasi-Periodic Eruptions with 3.5 years of monitoring eRO-QPE1
Joheen Chakraborty, Riccardo Arcodia, Erin Kara +13
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are luminous X-ray outbursts recurring on hour timescales, observed from the nuclei of a growing handful of nearby low-mass galaxies. Their physical…
From Stellar Death to Cosmic Revelations: Zooming in on Compact Objects, Relativistic Outflows and Supernova Remnants with AXIS
S. Safi-Harb, K. B. Burdge, A. Bodaghee +32
Compact objects and supernova remnants provide nearby laboratories to probe the fate of stars after they die, and the way they impact, and are impacted by, their surrounding medium…
Overview of the Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS)
Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky +40
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolutio…
A rotating white dwarf shows different compositions on its opposite faces
Ilaria Caiazzo, Kevin B. Burdge, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay +35
White dwarfs, the extremely dense remnants left behind by most stars after their death, are characterised by a mass comparable to that of the Sun compressed into the size of an Ear…
The fastest stars in the Galaxy
Kareem El-Badry, Ken J. Shen, Vedant Chandra +18
We report a spectroscopic search for hypervelocity white dwarfs (WDs) that are runaways from Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and related thermonuclear explosions. Candidates are select…
