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 ...

Alfvén QPOs in Magnetars [PDF]

Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2009
We investigate torsional Alfvén oscillations of relativistic stars with a global dipole magnetic field, via two-dimensional numerical simulations. We find that a) there exist two families of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) with harmonics at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency, b) the lower-frequency QPO is related to the region of closed ...

The Role of XMM–Newton in the Investigation of Persistent BeXRBs

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 1, January 2025.
ABSTRACT The persistent BeXRBs are a class of high‐mass X‐ray binaries (HMXRBs), which are characterized by persistent low X‐ray luminosities (LX~1034$$ {L}_{\mathrm{X}}\sim {10}^{34} $$ erg s −1$$ {}^{-1} $$) and wide (Porb>$$ {P}_{\mathrm{orb}}> $$ 30 days), almost circular orbits. In these sources the NS is slowly rotating (with Pspin$$ {P}_{\mathrm{

Estimation of the detected background by the future gamma ray transient mission CAMELOT

Astronomische Nachrichten, Volume 340, Issue 7, Page 666-673, August 2019., 2019
Abstract This study presents a background estimation for the CubeSats Applied for MEasuring and LOcalising Transients (CAMELOT), which is a proposed fleet of nanosatellites for the all‐sky monitoring and timing‐based localization of gamma ray transients with precise localization capability at low Earth orbits.

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 ⊙$$ {}_{\odot } $$).

High-energy neutrinos from magnetars

, 2003
Magnetars can accelerate cosmic rays to high energies through the unipolar effect and are also copious soft-photon emitters. We show that young, rapidly rotating magnetars whose spin and magnetic moment point in opposite directions emit high-energy ...

Search for Galactic Sources of Trans-GZK Cosmic Rays in the Local Void Sky Region

Galaxies
Identifying the sources of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs, E>1018 eV) remains a fundamental challenge in astrophysics due to the significant deflections of charged particles by Galactic and extragalactic magnetic fields.

Some Theoretical Aspects of Magnetars

, 2018
Magnetars have been observationally determined to have surface magnetic fields of order of 10 14 – 10 15 G, and the implied internal field strength may be even larger.
