A spectral-timing study of the inner flow geometry in MAXI J1535--571 with -HXMT and NICER
Wei Yu, Qing-Cui Bu, He-Xin Liu +48
We have performed a spectral-timing analysis on the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1535--571 during its 2017 outburst, with the aim of exploring the evolution of the inner accretion…
Insight-HXMT and GECAM-C observations of the brightest-of-all-time GRB 221009A
Zheng-Hua An, S. Antier, Xing-Zi Bi +174
GRB 221009A is the brightest gamma-ray burst ever detected since the discovery of this kind of energetic explosions. However, an accurate measurement of the prompt emission propert…
In-orbit Performance of ME onboard Insight-HXMT in the first 5 years
Ying Tan, Xuelei Cao, Weichun Jiang +16
Introduction: The Medium Energy X-ray telescope (ME) is a collimated X-ray telescope onboard the Insight hard X-ray modulation telescope (Insight-HXMT) satellite. It has 1728 Si-PI…
Five-year in-orbit background of Insight-HXMT
Jin-Yuan Liao, Shu Zhang, Juan Zhang +24
Purpose: We present the five-year in-orbit background evolution of Insight-HXMT since the launch, as well as the effects of the background model in data analysis. Methods: The back…
An Insight-HXMT view of the mHz quasi-regular modulation phenomenon in the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47
Zi-Xu Yang, Liang Zhang, Yue Huang +97
Here we report the spectral-timing results of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630-47 during its 2021 outburst using observations from the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope. Type-C qu…
Quasi-periodic oscillations of the X-ray burst from the magnetar SGR J1935+2154 and associated with the fast radio burst FRB 200428
Xiaobo Li, Mingyu Ge, Lin Lin +92
The origin(s) and mechanism(s) of fast radio bursts (FRBs), which are short radio pulses from cosmological distances, have remained a major puzzle since their discovery. We report…
In-orbit timing calibration of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope
Youli Tuo, Xiaobo Li, Mingyu Ge +24
We describe the timing system and the timing calibration results of the three payloads on-board the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT). These three payloads are…
Insight-HXMT observations of jet-like corona in a black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070
Bei You, Yuoli Tuo, Chengzhe Li +123
A black hole X-ray binary produces hard X-ray radiation from its corona and disk when the accreting matter heats up. During an outburst, the disk and corona co-evolves with each ot…
Timing analysis of the black hole candidate EXO 1846-031 with Insight-HXMT monitoring
He-Xin Liu, Yue Huang, Guang-Cheng Xiao +118
We present the observational results from a detailed timing analysis of the black hole candidate EXO 1846-031 during its outburst in 2019 with the observations of Insight-HXMT, NIC…
In-flight calibration of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope
Xiaobo Li, Xufang Li, Ying Tan +19
We present the calibration of the Insight-Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (Insight-HXMT) X-ray satellite, which can be used to perform timing and spectral studies of bright X-ray s…
