Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Stephen Reynolds, Hongjun An, Moaz Abdelmaguid, Jason Alford, Chris L. Fryer | Summary: HEX-P is a probe-class mission concept that will combine high spatial resolution X-ray imaging ($<10"$ full width at half maximum) and broad spectral coverage (0.2–80 keV) with an effective area far superior to current […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: John Rankin, Fabio La Monaca, Alessandro Di Marco, Juri Poutanen, Anna Bobrikova | Summary: Cir X-1 is a neutron star X-ray binary characterized by strong variations in flux during its eccentric $sim$16.6 days orbit. There are also strong variations in the spectral state, and historically it […]

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Jeremy Heyl, Victor Doroshenko, Denis González-Caniulef, Ilaria Caiazzo, Juri Poutanen | Summary: In an accreting X-ray pulsar, a neutron star accretes matter from a stellar companion through an accretion disk. The high magnetic field of the rotating neutron star disrupts the inner edge of the disc, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Ryan Magee, Maximiliano Isi, Ethan Payne, Katerina Chatziioannou, Will M. Farr | Summary: Tests of general relativity with gravitational wave observations from merging compact binaries continue to confirm Einstein’s theory of gravity with increasing precision. However, these tests have so far only been applied to signals that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Malena Rice, Xian-Yu Wang, Songhu Wang, Avi Shporer, Khalid Barkaoui | Summary: The geometries of near-resonant planetary systems offer a relatively pristine window into the initial conditions of exoplanet systems. Given that near-resonant systems have likely experienced minimal dynamical disruptions, the spin-orbit orientations of these systems inform […]
Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niaesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay, Pau Amaro Seoane, Andrea Antonelli | Summary: LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will expand our view to the millihertz […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Christopher S. Reynolds, Erin A. Kara, Richard F. Mushotzky, Andrew Ptak, Michael J. Koss | Summary: The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is a Probe-class concept that will build on the legacy of the Chandra X-ray Observatory by providing low-background, arcsecond-resolution imaging in the 0.3-10 keV band […]
