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…
Dense Matter in Neutron Stars with eXTP
Ang Li, Anna L. Watts, Guobao Zhang +82
In this White Paper, we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars, explo…
Comparing the Space Densities of Millisecond-Spin Magnetars and Fast X-Ray Transients
Sumedha Biswas, Peter G. Jonker, M. Coleman Miller +2
Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are bright X-ray flashes with durations of minutes to hours, peak isotropic luminosities of L_X,peak ~ 10^42-10^47 erg/s, and total isotropic energies…
Multidisciplinary Science in the Multimessenger Era
Eric Burns, Christopher L. Fryer, Ivan Agullo +82
Astrophysical observations of the cosmos allow us to probe extreme physics and answer foundational questions on our universe. Modern astronomy is increasingly operating under a hol…
Exploring Waveform Variations among Neutron Star Ray-tracing Codes for Complex Emission Geometries
Devarshi Choudhury, Anna L. Watts, Alexander J. Dittmann +8
Pulse Profile Modeling (PPM), the technique used to infer mass, radius and geometric parameters for rotation-powered millisecond pulsars using data from the Neutron Star Interior C…
