Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRAL and Future Directions

Peter Kretschmar, Felix Fürst, Lara Sidoli +48

High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology,…

The cyclotron line energy in Her X-1: stable after the decay

R. Staubert, L. Ducci, L. Ji +6

We summarize the results of a dedicated effort between 2012 and 2019 to follow the evolution of the cyclotron line in Her~X-1 through repeated NuSTAR observations. The previously o…

The variable and non-variable X-ray absorbers in Compton-thin type-II Active Galactic Nuclei

Sibasish Laha, Alex G. Markowitz, Mirko Krumpe +3

We have conducted an extensive X-ray spectral variability study of a sample of 20 Compton-thin type II galaxies using broad band spectra from XMM-Newton, Chandra, and Suzaku. The a…

The giant outburst of 4U 0115+634 in 2011 with Suzaku and RXTE

Matthias Bissinger né Kühnel, Ingo Kreykenbohm, Carlo Ferrigno +19

We present an analysis of X-ray spectra of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 0115+634 as observed with Suzaku and RXTE in 2011 July, during the fading phase of a giant X-ray outburst.…

The Physics of Accretion Onto Highly Magnetized Neutron Stars

Michael T. Wolff, Peter A. Becker, Joel Coley +16

Studying the physical processes occurring in the region just above the magnetic poles of strongly magnetized, accreting binary neutron stars is essential to our understanding of st…

Positron Annihilation in the Galaxy

Carolyn A. Kierans, John F. Beacom, Steve Boggs +27

The 511 keV line from positron annihilation in the Galaxy was the first -ray line detected to originate from outside our solar system. Going into the fifth decade since the disc…
