On the Origin of Spectral Features Observed during Thermonuclear X-Ray Bursts and in the Aftermath Emission of a Long Burst from 4U 1820–30

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We study 15 thermonuclear X-ray bursts from 4U 1820–30 observed with the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). We find evidence of a narrow emission line at 1.0 keV and three absorption lines at 1.7, 3.0, and 3.75 keV, primarily around the ...

Flux Variations and Torque Reversals of Cen X-3

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Cen X-3 is an archetypical X-ray pulsar with strong flux variations and alternating torque reversals, both of which are similar to those of recently discovered pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources.

Reflection and Timing Study of the Transient Black Hole X-Ray Binary MAXI J1803-298 with NuSTAR

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal, 2023
The transient black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1803−298 was discovered on 2021 May 1, as it went into outburst from a quiescent state. As the source rose in flux it showed periodic absorption dips and fit the timing and spectral characteristics of a hard ...

X-ray Pulsations in the Supersoft X-ray Binary CAL 83

open access: yes, 2005
X-ray data reveal that the supersoft X-ray binary CAL 83 exhibits 38.4 minute pulsations at some epochs. These X-ray variations are similar to those found in some novae and are likely to be caused by nonradial pulsations the white dwarf.

Photospheric Radius Expansion Thermonuclear Burst and X-Ray Reflection from the Neutron Star X-Ray Binary 4U 1702-429

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We perform a comprehensive study of thermonuclear bursts from the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1702–429 detected with NICER and XMM-Newton. The thermonuclear burst detected with NICER shows clear evidence of a photospheric radius expansion (PRE)

Low-Mass X-ray Binary Populations

open access: yes, 2010
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) have been studied in the Galaxy since the beginning of X-ray astronomy. A lot has been learned about these bright X-ray sources, but significant questions are still open.

X-ray and gamma-ray orbital variability from the gamma-ray binary HESS J1832-093

open access: yes, 2020
Context. Gamma-ray binaries are systems composed of a massive star and a compact object whose interaction leads to particle acceleration up to relativistic energies. In the last fifteen years, a few binaries have been discovered to emit at high energies,

On the binary nature of massive blue hypergiants: high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy suggests that Cyg OB2 12 is a colliding wind binary [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
The blue hypergiant Cyg OB2-12 (B3Ia+) is a representative member of the class of very massive stars in a poorly understood evolutionary stage. We obtained its high-resolution X-ray spectrum using Chandra observatory.

Millisecond Oscillations in X-Ray Binaries [PDF]

open access: yesAnnual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2000
▪ Abstract  The first millisecond X-ray variability phenomena from accreting compact objects have recently been discovered with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. Three new phenomena are observed from low-mass X-ray binaries containing low-magnetic-field neutron stars: millisecond pulsations, burst oscillations, and kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations.
