The Hot and Energetic Universe: A White Paper presenting the science theme motivating the Athena+ mission

Kirpal Nandra, +239 more
TL;DR: The Advanced Telescope for High Energy Astrophysics (Athena+) mission as discussed by the authors provides the necessary performance (e.g., angular resolution, spectral resolution, survey grasp) to address these questions and revolutionize our understanding of the Hot and Energetic Universe.

The evolution of the timing properties of the black-hole transient GX 339-4 during its 2002/2003 outburst

TL;DR: In this article, the results of the timing and color analysis of more than two hundred RXTE/PCA observations of the bright black-hole transient GX 339-4 obtained during its 2002/2003 outburst are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gravitationally redshifted absorption lines in the X-ray burst spectra of a neutron star

TL;DR: The discovery of significant absorption lines in the spectra of 28 bursts of the low-mass X-ray binary EXO0748-676 is reported, which is completely consistent with models of neutron stars composed of normal nuclear matter, while it excludes some models in which the neutron stars are made of more exotic matter.
