    • Dips and eclipses in the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with NICER 

      Buisson, D. J. K.; Altamirano, D.; Padilla, M. Armas; Arzoumanian, Z.; Bult, P.; Segura, N. Castro; Charles, P. A.; Degenaar, N.; Trigo, M. Díaz; Eijnden, J. van den; Fogantini, F.; Gandhi, P.; Gendreau, K.; Hare, J.; Homan, J.; Knigge, C.; Malacaria, C.; Mendez, M.; Darias, T. Muñoz; Ng, M.; Arabacı, M. Özbey; Remillard, R.; Strohmayer, T. E.; Tombesi, F.; Tomsick, J. A.; Vincentelli, F.; Walton, D. J. (2021-06-01)
      We present the discovery of eclipses in the X-ray light curves of the X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814. From these, we find an orbital period of $P=76841.3_{-1.4}^{+1.3}$ s ($\approx21.3$ hours) and an eclipse duration of ...
    • The high energy X-ray probe (HEX-P): a new window into neutron star accretion 

      Ludlam, R. M.; Malacaria, C.; Sokolova-Lapa, E.; Fuerst, F.; Pradhan, P.; Shaw, A. W.; Pottschmidt, K.; Pike, S.; Vasilopoulos, G.; Wilms, J.; García, J. A.; Madsen, K.; Stern, D.; Maitra, C.; Del Santo, M.; Walton, D. J.; Brumback, M. C.; van den Eijnden, J. (2023-12-12)
      Accreting neutron stars (NSs) represent a unique laboratory for probing the physics of accretion in the presence of strong magnetic fields (B ≳ 108 G). Additionally, the matter inside the NS itself exists in an ultra-dense, ...
