Accretion spin-up and a strong magnetic field in the slow-spinning Be X-ray binary MAXI J0655-013

Sean N. Pike, Mutsumi Sugizaki, Jakob van den Eijnden +8

We present MAXI and NuSTAR observations of the Be X-ray binary, MAXI J0655-013, in outburst. NuSTAR observed the source once early in the outburst, when spectral analysis yields a…

Monitoring observations of SMC X-1's excursions (MOOSE)-II: A new excursion accompanies spin-up acceleration

Chin-Ping Hu, Kristen C. Dage, William I. Clarkson +11

SMC X-1 is a high-mass X-ray binary showing superorbital modulation with an unstable period. Previous monitoring shows three excursion events in 1996--1998, 2005--2007, and 2014--2…

Discovery of a new supergiant fast X-ray transient MAXI J0709-159 associated with the Be star LY CMa

Mutsumi Sugizaki, Tatehiro Mihara, Kohei Kobayashi +10

We report on the discovery of a new supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT), MAXI J0709159, and its identification with LY CMa (also known as HD 54786). On 2022 January 25, a new…

Decades' long-term variations in NS-LMXBs observed with MAXI/GSC, RXTE/ASM and Ginga/ASM

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Masaru Matsuoka

We investigated the decades' long-term X-ray variations in bright low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star (NS-LMXB). The light curves of MAXI/GSC and RXTE/ASM covers $\si…
