The enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission -- eXTP for launch in 2030
Shuang-Nan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Yupeng Xu +155
In this paper we present the current status of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, which has been fully approved for launch in 2030. eXTP is a space science mission…
Einstein Probe discovery of EP240408a: a peculiar X-ray transient with an intermediate timescale
Wenda Zhang, Weimin Yuan, Zhixing Ling +136
We report the discovery of a peculiar X-ray transient, EP240408a, by Einstein Probe (EP) and follow-up studies made with EP, Swift, NICER, GROND, ATCA and other ground-based multi-…
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…
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…
Discovery of oscillations above 200 keV in a black hole X-ray binary with Insight-HXMT
Xiang Ma, Lian Tao, Shuang-Nan Zhang +119
Low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (LFQPOs) are commonly found in black hole X-ray binaries, and their origin is still under debate. The properties of LFQPOs at high energie…
Insight-HXMT observations of Swift J0243.6+6124 during its 2017-2018 outburst
Yue Zhang, Mingyu Ge, Liming Song +107
The recently discovered neutron star transient Swift J0243.6+6124 has been monitored by {\it the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope} ({\it Insight-\rm HXMT). Based on the obtained dat…
Insight-HXMT observations of the first binary neutron star merger GW170817
TiPei Li, ShaoLin Xiong, ShuangNan Zhang +107
Finding the electromagnetic (EM) counterpart of binary compact star merger, especially the binary neutron star (BNS) merger, is critically important for gravitational wave (GW) ast…
