Observatory Science with eXTP

Ping Zhou, Jirong Mao, Liang Zhang +97

Scheduled for launch in 2030, the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarization (eXTP) telescope is a Chinese space-based mission aimed at studying extreme conditions and phenomena in ast…

STROBE-X Mission Overview

Paul S. Ray, Peter W. A. Roming, Andrea Argan +54

We give an overview of the science objectives and mission design of the Spectroscopic Time-Resolving Observatory for Broadband Energy X-rays (STROBE-X) observatory, which has been…

A catalogue of unusually long thermonuclear bursts on neutron stars

Khaled Alizai, Jérôme Chenevez, Andrew Cumming +10

Rare, energetic (long) thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts are classified either as intermediate-duration or superbursts, based on their duration. Intermediate-duration bursts last…

Enhanced optical activity 12 days before X-ray activity, and a 4 day X-ray delay during outburst rise, in a low-mass X-ray binary

A. J. Goodwin, D. M. Russell, D. K. Galloway +12

X-ray transients, such as accreting neutron stars, periodically undergo outbursts, thought to be caused by a thermal-viscous instability in the accretion disk. Usually outbursts of…

The Swift Bulge Survey: optical and near-IR follow-up featuring a likely symbiotic X-ray binary & a focused wind CV

A. W. Shaw, C. O. Heinke, T. J. Maccarone +13

The nature of very faint X-ray transients (VFXTs) - transient X-ray sources that peak at luminosities - is poorly understood. The faint and of…

NICER Discovers Spectral Lines During Photospheric Radius Expansion Bursts from 4U 1820-30: Evidence for Burst-driven Winds

T. E. Strohmayer, D. Altamirano, Z. Arzoumanian +14

We report the discovery with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) of narrow emission and absorption lines during photospheric radius expansion (PRE) X-ray bursts…
