[HTML][HTML] Ultraluminous X-ray sources

A King, JP Lasota, M Middleton - New Astronomy Reviews, 2023 - Elsevier
The study of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) has changed dramatically over the last
decade. In this review we first describe the most important observations of ULXs in various …

A new radio census of neutron star X-ray binaries

J Van Den Eijnden, N Degenaar… - Monthly Notices of …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
We report new radio observations of a sample of 36 neutron star (NS) X-ray binaries, more
than doubling the sample in the literature observed at current-day sensitivities. These …

The case for jets in cataclysmic variables

DL Coppejans, C Knigge - New Astronomy Reviews, 2020 - Elsevier
For decades cataclysmic variables (CVs) were thought to be one of the few classes of
accreting compact objects to not launch jets, and have consequently been used to constrain …

GRMHD simulations of accreting neutron stars with non-dipole fields

P Das, O Porth, AL Watts - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
ABSTRACT NASA's NICER telescope has recently provided evidence for non-dipolar
magnetic field structures in rotation-powered millisecond pulsars. These stars are assumed …

A shared accretion instability for black holes and neutron stars

FM Vincentelli, J Neilsen, AJ Tetarenko, Y Cavecchi… - Nature, 2023 - nature.com
Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high
luminosity. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure generated by accretion …

Search for directional associations between baikal gigaton volume detector neutrino-induced cascades and high-energy astrophysical sources

VA Allakhverdyan, AD Avrorin… - Monthly Notices of …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
Baikal-GVD has recently published its first measurement of the diffuse astrophysical neutrino
flux, performed using high-energy cascade-like events. We further explore the Baikal-GVD …

Hot disc of the Swift J0243.6+6124 revealed by Insight-HXMT

V Doroshenko, SN Zhang, A Santangelo… - Monthly Notices of …, 2020 - academic.oup.com
We report on analysis of observations of the bright transient X-ray pulsar (XRP) Swift J0243.
6+ 6124 obtained during its 2017–2018 giant outburst with Insight-HXMT, NuSTAR, and …

No magnetars in ULXs

A King, JP Lasota - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical …, 2019 - academic.oup.com
We consider the current observed ensemble of pulsing ultraluminous X-ray sources
(PULXs). We show that all of their observed properties (luminosity, spin period, and spin-up …

Extragalactic fast X-ray transient candidates discovered by Chandra (2000–2014)

J Quirola-Vásquez, FE Bauer, PG Jonker… - Astronomy & …, 2022 - aanda.org
Context. Extragalactic fast X-ray transients (FXRTs) are short flashes of X-ray photons of
unknown origin that last a few seconds to hours. Aims. Our ignorance about their physical …

Fan-beamed X-Ray Emission from 1 to above 130 keV from the Ultraluminous X-Ray Pulsar RX J0209. 6-7427 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
