A variable corona during the transition from type-C to type-B quasi-periodic oscillations in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070

Ruican Ma, Mariano Mendez, Federico Garcia +3

We analyze a Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observation of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during a transition from type-C to type-B quasi-periodic o…

The X-ray corona in the black-hole binary GRO J1655--40 from the properties of non-harmonically related quasi-periodic oscillations

Sandeep K. Rout, Mariano Mendez, Federico Garcia

The study of quasi periodic oscillations (QPOs) plays a vital role in understanding the nature and geometry of the Comptonizing medium around black-hole X-ray binaries. The spectra…

A NICER look at the jet-like corona of MAXI J1535-571 through type-B quasi-periodic oscillations

Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, Federico García +7

MAXI J1535-571 is a black-hole X-ray binary that in 2017 exhibited a very bright outburst which reached a peak flux of up to 5 Crab in the 2-20 keV band. Given the high flux, sever…

High energy Millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 1A 0535+262 with Insight-HXMT challenge current models

Ruican Ma, Lian Tao, Shuang-Nan Zhang +21

We studied the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillation (mHz QPO) in the 2020 outburst of the Be/X-ray binary 1A 0535+262 using Insight-HXMT data over a broad energy band. The mHz QPO…
