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…
A Comprehensive Study of Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts from 4U 1820-30 with NICER: Accretion Disk Interactions and a Candidate Burst Oscillation
Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Z. Funda Bostancı, TuÄba Boztepe +14
We present the results obtained from timing and spectral studies of 15 thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1820-30 observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICE…
White Paper and Roadmap for Quantum Gravity Phenomenology in the Multi-Messenger Era
R. Alves Batista, G. Amelino-Camelia, D. Boncioli +101
The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity has long been elusive. Only recently have empirical predictions of various possible theories of quantum gravity been put…
Discovery of Polarized X-Ray Emission from the Accreting Millisecond Pulsar SRGA J144459.2-604207
Alessandro Papitto, Alessandro Di Marco, Juri Poutanen +22
We report on the discovery of polarized X-ray emission from an accreting millisecond pulsar. During a 10-day-long coverage of the February 2024 outburst of SRGA J144459.2-604207, t…
Connecting the X-ray/UV variability of Fairall 9 with NICER: A Possible Warm Corona
Ethan R. Partington, Edward M. Cackett, Rick Edelson +7
The Seyfert 1 AGN Fairall 9 was targeted by NICER, Swift, and ground-based observatories for a 1000-day long reverberation mapping campaign. The following analysis of NICER s…
