X-ray Polarization of the Black Hole X-ray Binary 4U 1630-47 Challenges Standard Thin Accretion Disk Scenario

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski, Jakub Podgorný, Lorenzo Marra | Summary: Large energy-dependent X-ray polarization degree is detected by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ({IXPE}) in the high-soft emission state of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630–47. The highly significant detection (at $approx50sigma$ confidence level) […]

The origin of long soft lags and the nature of the hard-intermediate state in black hole binaries

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Chris Done, Tadayuki Takahashi, , | Summary: Fast variability of the X-ray corona in black hole binaries can produce a soft lag by reverberation, where the reprocessed thermalized disc photons lag behind the illuminating hard X-rays. This lag is small, and systematically decreases with increasing […]

Multi-messenger signals of heavy axionlike particles in core-collapse supernovae: two-dimensional simulations

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Core-collapse supernovae are a useful laboratory to probe the nature of exotic particles. If axionlike particles (ALPs) are produced in supernovae, they can affect the transfer of energy and leave traces in observational signatures. In this work, […]

A Cross-correlation Study between IceCube Neutrino Events and the Fermi Unresolved Gamma-ray Sky

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Eric Charles | First 5 Authors: Michela Negro, Milena Crnogorčević, Eric Burns, Eric Charles, Lea Marcotulli | Summary: With the coincident detections of electromagnetic radiation together with gravitational waves (GW170817) or neutrinos (TXS 0506+056), the new era of multimessenger astrophysics has begun. Of particular interest are the searches for correlation between the high-energy […]

2D k-th nearest neighbor statistics: a highly informative probe of galaxy clustering

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Sihan Yuan, Alvaro Zamora, Tom Abel, , | Summary: Beyond standard summary statistics are necessary to summarize the rich information on non-linear scales in the era of precision galaxy clustering measurements. For the first time, we introduce the 2D k-th nearest neighbor (kNN) statistics as a summary […]
