Physics and astrophysics of strong magnetic field systems with eXTP
Andrea Santangelo, Silvia Zane, Hua Feng +38
In this paper we present the science potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies of strongly magnetized objects. We will focus on the physics…
Distances to the globular clusters 47 Tucanae and NGC 362 using Gaia DR2 parallaxes
Seery Chen, Harvey Richer, Ilaria Caiazzo +1
Using parallaxes from Gaia DR2, we estimate the distance to the globular clusters 47 Tuc and NGC 362, taking advantage of the background stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud and qua…
A Multi-Mass Velocity Dispersion Model of 47 Tucanae Indicates No Evidence for an Intermediate Mass Black Hole
Christopher Mann, Harvey Richer, Jeremy Heyl +6
In this paper, we analyze stellar proper motions in the core of the globular cluster 47 Tucanae to explore the possibility of an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH) influence on th…
Probing Black Hole Magnetic Fields with QED
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl
The effect of vacuum birefringence is one of the first predictions of quantum electrodynamics (QED): the presence of a charged Dirac field makes the vacuum birefringent when thread…
Vacuum birefringence and the X-ray polarization from black-hole accretion disks
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl
In the next decade, x-ray polarimetry will open a new window on the high-energy Universe, as several missions that include an x-ray polarimeter are currently under development. Obs…
PSR J17552550: A young radio pulsar with a massive, compact companion
C. Ng, M. U. Kruckow, T. M. Tauris +9
Radio pulsars found in binary systems with short orbital periods are usually fast spinning as a consequence of recycling via mass transfer from their companion stars; this process…
