Comparative spectro-temporal study between 1A 1246 − 588 and 4U 0614 + 091 using AstroSat

We present a comparative broadband spectro-temporal study of the ultra-compact X-ray binary (UCXB) candidates 1A 1246 − 588 and 4U 0614 + 091 using AstroSat observations. Spectral modelling shows that the spectrum of 1A 1246 − 588 is well described by thermal Comptonization and a...

eRASSU J043115.8-711730 The first pulsating symbiotic super-soft X-ray source in the Magellanic Bridge

Abstract The Magellanic Bridge stellar population is a relic of the tidal interaction between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. A comprehensive view of the evolution of the Bridge stellar population requires probing the compact remnants of stellar evolution, otherwise hidden...
