A Small Satellite Version of a Broad-band Soft X-ray Polarimeter
Herman L. Marshall, Sarah N. T. Heine, Alan Garner +16
We describe a new implementation of a broad-band soft X-ray polarimeter, substantially based on a previous design. This implementation, the Pioneer Soft X-ray Polarimeter (PiSoX) i…
Multi-wavelength Observations of AT2019wey: a New Candidate Black Hole Low-mass X-ray Binary
Yuhan Yao, S. R. Kulkarni, Kevin B. Burdge +21
AT2019wey (SRGA J043520.9+552226, SRGE J043523.3+552234) is a transient first reported by the ATLAS optical survey in 2019 December. It rose to prominence upon detection, three mon…
Intermediate-Mass Stars Become Magnetic White Dwarfs
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl, Harvey Richer +8
When a star exhausts its nuclear fuel, it either explodes as a supernova or more quiescently becomes a white dwarf, an object about half the mass of our Sun with a radius of about…
A systematic search of Zwicky Transient Facility data for ultracompact binary LISA-detectable gravitational-wave sources
Kevin B. Burdge, Thomas A. Prince, Jim Fuller +31
Using photometry collected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF), we are conducting an ongoing survey for binary systems with short orbital periods ( with…
Polarisation of Accreting X-ray Pulsars. II. Hercules X-1
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl
We employ our new model for the polarised emission of accreting X-ray pulsars to describe the emission from the luminous X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1. In contrast with previous works,…
Polarisation of Accreting X-ray Pulsars. I. A New Model
Ilaria Caiazzo, Jeremy Heyl
A new window is opening in high-energy astronomy: X-ray polarimetry. With many missions currently under development and scheduled to launch as early as 2021, observations of the X-…
