Diagnostic of the spectral properties of Aquila X-1 by Insight-HXMT snapshots during the early propeller phase

C. Güngör, M. Y. Ge, S. Zhang +108

We study the 2018 outburst of Aql X-1 via the monitor of all sky X-ray image (MAXI) data. We show that the outburst starting in February 2018 is a member of short-low class in the…

-HXMT study of the timing properties of Sco X-1

S. M. Jia, Q. C. Bu, J. L. Qu +106

We present a detailed timing study of the brightest persistent X-ray source Sco X-1 using the data collected by the Hard X-ray Modulation Telescope (-HXMT) from July 2017…

Insight-HXMT observation on 4U~1608--52: evolving spectral properties of a bright type-I X-ray burst

Y. P. Chen, S. Zhang, S. N. Zhang +109

The evidences for the influence of thermonuclear (type-I) X-ray bursts upon the surrounding environments in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) were detected previously via…

Insight-HXMT observations of 4U~1636-536: Corona cooling revealed with single short type-I X-ray burst

Y. P. Chen, S. Zhang, S. N. Zhang +108

Corona cooling was detected previously from stacking a series of short type-I bursts occurred during the low/had state of atoll outburst. Type-I bursts are hence regarded as sharp…
