Simultaneous NICER and NuSTAR Observations of the Ultra-compact X-ray Binary 4U 1543-624
R. M. Ludlam, A. D. Jaodand, J. A. García +8
We present the first joint NuSTAR and NICER observations of the ultra-compact X-ray binary (UCXB) 4U 1543624 obtained in 2020 April. The source was at a luminosity of $L_{0.5-50…
The Awakening Beast in the Seyfert 1 Galaxy KUG 1141+371 I
Jiachen Jiang, Huaqing Cheng, Luigi C. Gallo +10
KUG 1141+371 is a Seyfert 1 galaxy that shows a simultaneous flux increase in the optical and UV bands in the past decade. For instance, the latest Swift observation in 2019 shows…
MAXI J1820+070 with NuSTAR II. Flaring during the hard to soft state transition with a long soft lag
D. J. K. Buisson, A. C. Fabian, P. Gandhi +6
We continue the analysis of NuSTAR data from the recent discovery outburst of MAXI J1820+070 (optical counterpart ASASSN-18ey), focussing on an observation including unusual flarin…
Discovery of thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts in the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with NICER and NuSTAR
D. J. K. Buisson, D. Altamirano, P. Bult +22
Swift J1858.6-0814 is a recently discovered X-ray binary notable for extremely strong variability (by factors in soft X-rays) in its discovery state. We present the detectio…
Measuring the masses of magnetic white dwarfs: A NuSTAR Legacy Survey
A. W. Shaw, C. O. Heinke, K. Mukai +11
The hard X-ray spectrum of magnetic cataclysmic variables can be modelled to provide a measurement of white dwarf mass. This method is complementary to radial velocity measurements…
Soft X-ray emission lines in the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with XMM-Newton-RGS: disc atmosphere or wind?
D. J. K. Buisson, D. Altamirano, M. Díaz Trigo +11
We find soft X-ray emission lines from the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 in data from XMM-Newton-RGS: N VII, O VII and O VIII, as well as notable residuals short of a detection a…
A NICER look at the state transitions of the black hole candidate MAXI J1535-571 during its reflares
V. A. Cúneo, K. Alabarta, L. Zhang +18
The black hole candidate and X-ray binary MAXI J1535-571 was discovered in September 2017. During the decay of its discovery outburst, and before returning to quiescence, the sourc…
The variable radio counterpart of Swift J1858.6-0814
J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar, T. D. Russell +18
Swift J1858.6-0814 is a transient neutron star X-ray binary discovered in October 2018. Multi-wavelength follow-up observations across the electromagnetic spectrum revealed many in…
The Changing-look Optical Wind of the Flaring X-ray Transient Swift J1858.6-0814
T. Muñoz-Darias, M. Armas Padilla, F. Jiménez-Ibarra +15
We present the discovery of an optical accretion disk wind in the X-ray transient Swift J1858.6-0814. Our 90-spectrum data set, taken with the 10.4m GTC telescope over 8 different…
The Soft State of the Black Hole Transient Source MAXI J1820+070: Emission from the Edge of the Plunge Region?
A. C. Fabian, D. J Buisson, P. Kosec +18
The Galactic black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 had a bright outburst in 2018 when it became the second brightest X-ray source in the Sky. It was too bright for X-ray CCD instr…
Blueshifted absorption lines from X-ray reflection in IRAS 13224-3809
A. C. Fabian, C. S. Reynolds, J. Jiang +17
We explore a disc origin for the highly-blueshifted, variable absorption lines seen in the X-ray spectrum of the Narrow Line Seyfert 1 galaxy IRAS13224-3809. The blueshift correspo…
Searching for Ultra-fast Outflows in AGN using Variability Spectra
Z. Igo, M. L. Parker, G. A. Matzeu +8
We present a qualitative search for ultra-fast outflows (UFOs) in excess variance spectra of radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGN). We analyse 42 sources from the Tombesi et al.…
NuSTAR observations of the Transient Galactic Black Hole Binary Candidate Swift J1858.6-0814: A New Sibling of V404 Cyg and V4641 Sgr?
Jeremy Hare, John A. Tomsick, Douglas J. K. Buisson +6
Swift J1858.6-0814 was discovered by Swift-BAT on October 25, 2018. Here we report on the first follow-up NuSTAR observation of the source, which shows variability spanning two ord…
A dynamic black hole corona in an active galaxy through X-ray reverberation mapping
William N. Alston, Andrew C. Fabian, Erin Kara +18
X-ray reverberation echoes are assumed to be produced in the strongly distorted spacetime around accreting supermassive black holes. This signal allows us to spatially map the geom…
