abstract

We report on the analysis of the AstroSat dataset of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658, obtained during its 2019 outburst. We found coherent pulsations at $\sim 401$ Hz and an orbital solution consistent with previous studies. The 3-20 keV pulse profile can be well fitted with three harmonically related sinusoidal components with background-corrected fractional amplitude of $\sim 3.5 \%$, $\sim 1.2 \%$ and $\sim 0.37 \%$ for fundamental, second and third harmonic, respectively. Our energy-resolved pulse profile evolution study indicate a strong energy dependence. We also observed a soft lag in fundamental and hard lag during its harmonic. The broadband spectrum of SAX J1808.4-3658 can be well described with a combination of thermal emission component with $kT \sim 1$ keV, a thermal Comptonization ($\Gamma \sim 1.67$) from the hot corona and broad emission lines due to Fe.

  1. Rapid Orbital Decay in the Ultracompact Double-degenerate Binary eRASSU J060839.5$-$704014

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The 374-second white-dwarf binary eRASSU J060839.5-704014 has an orbital decay rate of -4.7e-11 s/s, implying a chirp mass near 0.43 solar masses if gravitational waves drive the decay.
