The Chinese pulsar timing array data release I. Polarimetry for 56 millisecond pulsars

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Jiangwei Xu, Jinchen Jiang, Heng Xu, Bojun Wang, Zihan Xue | Summary: We present polarization pulse profiles for 56 millisecond pulsars (MSPs) monitored by the Chinese Pulsar Timing Array (CPTA) collaboration using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST). The observations centered at 1.25 GHz with a […]

On the Extremely X-ray Variable Active Galactic Nuclei in the XMM-LSS Field

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | First 5 Authors: Zijian Zhang, Bin Luo, Linhua Jiang, W. N. Brandt, Jian Huang | Summary: We present a systematic investigation of extremely X-ray variable active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the $approx 5.3~{rm deg}^2$ XMM-SERVS XMM-LSS region. Eight variable AGNs are identified with rest-frame 2 keV flux density variability amplitudes […]

Temperature Profiles of Accretion Disks in Luminous Active Galactic Nuclei derived from Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, , | Summary: The characteristic timescale ($tau$) of continuum variability of the accretion disk in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is known to be related to the thermal timescale, which is predicted to scale with AGN luminosity ($L$) and restframe […]

H I absorption line and anomalous dispersion in the radio pulses of PSR B1937+21

Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Jinchen Jiang, Shunshun Cao, Kejia Lee, Bojun Wang, Heng Xu | Summary: We use the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST) to observe the bright millisecond pulsar (MSP) PSR B1937+21 (J1939+2134) and record the data in the band from 1.0 GHz to 1.5 GHz. We measure the […]

Spectroastrometry and Reverberation Mapping of Active Galactic Nuclei. II. Measuring Geometric Distances and Black Hole Masses of Four Nearby Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | First 5 Authors: Yan-Rong Li, Jinyi Shangguan, Jian-Min Wang, Ric Davies, Daryl J. Santos | Summary: The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spectroastrometry and reverberation mapping (SARM) of broad-line regions (BLRs) […]

Hybrid stars with large quark cores within the parity doublet model and modified NJL model

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wen-Li Yuan, Bikai Gao, Yan Yan, Renxin Xu, | Summary: Using the parity doublet model (PDM) for hadronic matter and a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for quark matter, we investigate the potential existence of two- and three-flavor quark matter in neutron star cores. Both models respect chiral […]
