XMM‐Newton Observations of the Peculiar Be X‐Ray Binary A0538‐66

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT A0538‐66 is a neutron star/Be x‐ray binary located in the Large Magellanic Cloud and, since its discovery in the 70s, it showed a peculiar behavior that makes it a unique object in the high‐mass x‐ray binaries scene: the extremely eccentric orbit (e=0.72$$ e=0.72 $$), the short spin period of the neutron star (P=69$$ P=69 $$ ms), the episodes ...

Beyond Accretion Limits: The Rise of Pulsating Gems

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The discovery of several ultraluminous X‐ray sources exhibiting fast and rapidly evolving X‐ray pulsations unequivocally associates these sources with accreting neutron stars orbiting relatively massive companion stars (> 8M ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

The Large Magellanic Cloud’s ∼30 kpc Bow Shock and Its Impact on the Circumgalactic Medium

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
The interaction between the supersonic motion of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) and the circumgalactic medium (CGM) is expected to result in a bow shock that leads the LMC’s gaseous disk.

Spectral Studies of Super‐Eddington Accreting Neutron Stars in the Magellanic Clouds

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT Major outbursts of BeXRBs offer a unique laboratory for studying accretion onto magnetized neutron stars (NSs) over a large dynamic range. The accreting material is entrained from the accretion disk by the strong magnetic field, and then channeled onto the NS, forming a so‐called accretion column (AC).

Revisiting Newly Large Magellanic Cloud Age-gap Star Clusters [PDF]

The Astronomical Journal, 2021
Abstract Recently, a noticeable number of new star clusters was identified in the outskirts of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) populating the so-called star-cluster age gap, a space of time (∼4–12 Gyr) where the only known star cluster is up-to-date ESO 121-SC 03.

Mapping the Distorted Dark Matter Distribution of the LMC–SMC System Prior to Milky Way Infall with Basis Function Expansions

The Astrophysical Journal
The SMC orbits within the LMC’s dark matter (DM) halo in a ∼1:10 mass-ratio encounter. The LMC–Milky Way (MW) interaction is also ∼1:10, and is expected to perturb the MW’s DM distribution.

Principal sensory experiences of forest visitors in four countries, for evidence‐based nature therapy

People and Nature, Volume 6, Issue 6, Page 2480-2493, December 2024.
Abstract To advance the theoretical and practical underpinnings for nature therapies, i.e. nature exposure as a means to improve mental health, we compared the most memorable sensory experiences reported by forest tourists in Australia, Chile, China and Japan. Sensory experiences are a fundamental driver of the psychological effects of nature exposure.
