High-Mass X-ray Binaries
Binary systems in which a neutron star or black hole accretes material from a high-mass star are known as high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). This...

Progress in Lobster Eye X-Ray Telescope Development
The lobster-eye (LE) geometry X-ray optics offer an excellent opportunity to achieve very wide fields of view (1 000 square degrees and more) while...

Relationships Between the Spectra of Near-Earth Proton Enhancements, Hard X-Ray Bursts, and CME Speeds
Some studies propose the transfer of flare-accelerated protons in an erupting flux rope until its reconnection with an open structure releases the...

Black Holes: Accretion Processes in X-ray Binaries
Accretion onto black holes is one of the most efficient energy source in the universe. Black hole accretion powers some of the most luminous objects...

Statistical properties of the X-ray afterglow shallow decay phase and their relationships with the prompt gamma-ray emission of gamma-ray bursts
We systematically analyze the properties of the X-ray shallow decay phase in Swift GRBs observed from 2004 December to 2021 March. These events have...

Quiescent Times in Gamma-Ray Bursts
A number of time histories of bright, long GRBs exhibit quiescent times, defined as those intervals between adjacent episodes of emission during...

The Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry Mission: eXTP
This chapter presents the main aspects of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, a flagship observatory designed to perform simultaneous...

Short Gamma-Ray Bursts Are Different
We analyze BATSE time-tagged event (TTE) data for short gamma-ray bursts (T 90 duration < 2.6 s), studying...

Fast Radio Bursts
The era of fast radio bursts (FRBs) was open in 2007, when a very bright radio pulse of unknown origin was discovered occasionally in the archival...

Time Domain Methods for X-ray and Gamma-ray Astronomy
A variety of statistical methods for understanding variability in the time domain for low count rate X-ray and gamma-ray sources are explored....

X-Ray Trap** and Bursts in a Complex Plasma of Nanosecond Vacuum Discharge
AbstractThe effect of partial “trap**” of X-ray quanta with energies less than or on the order of 10 keV by the interelectrode polydisperse medium...
