X-ray reprocessing in accreting pulsar GX 301-2 observed with Insight-HXMT

L. Ji, V. Doroshenko, V. Suleimanov +100

We investigate the absorption and emission features in observations of GX 301-2 detected with Insight-HXMT/LE in 2017-2019. At different orbital phases, we found prominent Fe Kalph…

Comparison of simulated backgrounds with in-orbit observations for HE, ME and LE onboard Insight-HXMT

Juan Zhang, Xiaobo Li, Mingyu Ge +10

Insight-HXMT, the first X-ray astronomical satellite in China, aims to reveal new sources in the Galaxy and to study fundamental physics of X-ray binaries from 1\,keV to 250\,keV.…

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…

The influence of the Insight-HXMT/LE time response on timing analysis

Deng-Ke Zhou, Shi-Jie Zheng, Li-Ming Song +28

LE is the low energy telescope of Insight-HXMT. It uses swept charge devices (SCDs) to detect soft X-ray photons. The time response of LE is caused by the structure of SCDs. With t…

Background Model for the Low-Energy Telescope of Insight-HXMT

Jin-Yuan Liao, Shu Zhang, Yong Chen +16

With more than 150 blank sky observations at high Galactic latitude, we make a systematic study to the background of the Low Energy Telescope (LE) of the Hard X-ray Modulation Tele…

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…

Switches between accretion structures during flares in 4U 1901+03

L. Ji, L. Ducci, A. Santangelo +120

We report on our analysis of the 2019 outburst of the X-ray accreting pulsar 4U 1901+03 observed with Insight-HXMT and NICER. Both spectra and pulse profiles evolve significantly i…
