PSR J1231-1411 revisited: Pulse Profile Analysis of X-ray Observation
Liqiang Qi, Shijie Zheng, Juan Zhang +14
One of the primary goals of Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER)-like X-ray missions is to impose stringent constraints on the neutron star equation of state by preci…
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…
The Peculiar Precursor of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Binary Merger Involving a Magnetar
Shuo Xiao, Yan-Qiu Zhang, Zi-Pei Zhu +42
The milestone discovery of GW 170817-GRB 170817A-AT 2017gfo has shown that gravitational wave (GW) could be produced during the merger of neutron star-neutron star/black hole and t…
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 techniques applied to distributed modular high-energy astronomy: the HERMES project
A. Sanna, A. F. Gambino, L. Burderi +15
The HERMES-TP/SP (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites -- Technologic and Scientific Pathfinder) is an in-orbit demonstration of the so-called distributed astronomy con…
The HERMES-Technologic and Scientific Pathfinder
F. Fiore, L. Burderi, M. Lavagna +12
HERMES-TP/SP (High Energy Rapid Modular Ensemble of Satellites Technologic and Scientific Pathfinder) is a constellation of six 3U nano-satellites hosting simple but innovative X-r…
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…
Physics and astrophysics of strong magnetic field systems with eXTP
Andrea Santangelo, Silvia Zane, Hua Feng +38
In this paper we present the science potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies of strongly magnetized objects. We will focus on the physics…
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…
