Studying the properties of compressible MHD turbulence by synchrotron fluctuation statistics
Ru-Yue Wang, Jian-Fu Zhang, Alex Lazarian +2
We study the observable properties of compressible MHD turbulence covering different turbulence regimes, based on synthetic synchrotron observations arising from 3D MHD numerical s…
Energetic Particle Acceleration in Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence
Jianfu Zhang, Fuyuan Xiang
Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence is an important agent of energetic particle acceleration. Focusing on the compressible properties of magnetic turbulence, we adopt test particl…
The harmonic component of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 1636-53
Zhenyan Fei, Ming Lyu, Mariano Mendez +5
We studied the harmonics of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observa…
Gradient measurement of synchrotron polarization diagnostic: Application to spatially separated emission and Faraday rotation regions
Ru-Yue Wang, Jian-Fu Zhang, Alex Lazarian +2
Considering the spatially separated polarization radiation and Faraday rotation regions to simulate complex interstellar media, we study synchrotron polarization gradient technique…
XMM-Newton and NICER measurement of the rms spectrum of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1636-53
Ming Lyu, Guobao Zhang, Mariano Mendez +4
We used two XMM-Newton and six Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) observations to investigate the fractional rms amplitude of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillat…
Studying Anisotropy of Compressible Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence by Synchrotron Polarization Intensity
Ru-Yue Wang, Jian-Fu Zhang, Fu-Yuan Xiang
Based on statistical analysis of synchrotron polarization intensity, we study the anisotropic properties of compressible magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence. The second-order norm…
Ionisation state of the accretion disc in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1728-34
Ming Lyu, Mariano Mendez, Jian-Fu Zhang +1
We analysed an XMM-Newton plus a simultaneous Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation and a separate Suzaku observation of the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1728-34. We fit…
Spectral properties of magnetohydrodnamic turbulence revealed by polarization synchrotron emission with Faraday rotation
Jian-Fu Zhang, Alex Lazarian, Fu-Yuan Xiang
We investigate how to recover the spectral properties of underlying magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence using fluctuation statistics of synchrotron polarization radiation, based o…
Electron transport with re-acceleration and radiation in the jets of X-ray binaries
Jian-Fu Zhang, Zhi-Ren Li, Fu-Yuan Xiang +1
This paper studies acceleration processes of background thermal electrons in X-ray binary jets via turbulent stochastic interactions and shock collisions. By considering turbulent…
Polarization radiation with turbulent magnetic fields from X-ray binaries
Jian-Fu Zhang, Fu-Yuan Xiang, Ju-Fu Lu
We study the properties of polarized radiation in turbulent magnetic fields from X-ray binary jets. These turbulent magnetic fields are composed of large- and small-scale configura…
The Galactic NH - AV Relation and its Application to Historical Galactic SNRs
Wen-Wu Tian, Hongquan Su, F. Y. Xiang
We refine a classic relation between the hydrogen column density (NH) and optical extinction (Av) by employing 39 Galactic Supernova Remnants (SNRs) with X-rays, optical and/or inf…
Cr-K Emission Line as a Constraint on the Progenitor Properties of Supernova Remnants
X. J. Yang, H. Tsunemi, F. J. Lu +4
We perform a survey of the Cr, Mn and Fe-K emission lines in young supernova remnants (SNRs) with the Japanese X-ray astronomy satellite {\sl Suzaku}. The Cr and/or Mn emission lin…
