The MAXI (Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image) mission is the first astronomical payload to be installed on the Japanese Experiment Module-Exposed Facility (JEM-EF) on the ISS. It is scheduled for launch in the middle of 2009 to monitor all-sky X-ray objects on every ISS orbit. MAXI will be more powerful than any previous X-ray All Sky Monitor (ASM) payloads, being able to monitor hundreds of AGN. MAXI will provide all sky images of X-ray sources of about 20 mCrab in the energy band of 2-30 keV from observation on one ISS orbit (90 min), about 4.5 mCrab for one day, and about 1 mCrab for one month. A final detectability of MAXI could be 0.2 mCrab for 2 year observations.

Cygnus X-3: A variable petaelectronvolt gamma-ray source
Cygnus X-3 produces variable gamma rays up to 3.7 PeV, consistent with photomeson production in its relativistic jet requiring protons accelerated to tens of PeV.

Spectropolarimetric detection of baryonic mass loading in a transient relativistic jet: application to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8$-$1613
Transient Faraday-complex spectropolarimetric structure detected during radio flaring of Swift J1727 implies internal Faraday rotation from electron-proton jet plasma with rotating mass ~10^21 g, a small fraction of a...

A Multi-Wavelength View of the First Type Ic-BL Supernova with an Einstein Probe X-ray Shock Breakout
First definitive X-ray shock breakout from a Type Ic-BL supernova, with radio constraints and a rate calculation implying most such supernovae produce fainter signals than observed here.

Radio flares and X-ray hardening embedded in the long soft state of 4U 1543-475
Radio flares in 4U 1543-475 coincided with X-ray hardening, enhanced coronal emission, and lower reflection fraction, suggesting transient inner-disk changes accompany jet launching.

Real-time observations of the transition to the quiescent state in an accreting magnetised neutron star: No propeller required?
First high-cadence observation of an X-ray pulsar transition to quiescence shows a gradual exponential fade consistent with the disc instability model, without requiring the propeller effect.

Why do massive stars form bow shocks? Bulk ISM motion as the main driver of bow shock formation and geometry
Bulk interstellar gas motion, not stellar motion, dominates most massive star bow shocks; only about 21% are classical aligned bow shocks.

An intrinsic decline of accretion activity in GRS 1915+105
Deep X-ray, radio, and infrared non-detections of GRS 1915+105 imply an intrinsic decline in accretion activity rather than enhanced obscuration, likely driven by 2023-2024 outflows clearing the inner disc.

On the assessment of the disk truncation and detection of type-II bursts from the accreting millisecond X-ray Pulsar IGR J17062-6143
Spectral fitting of 2022 observations indicates the disk reaches 7-17 R_g from the neutron star at low inclination, with first reported type-II bursts attributed to magnetospheric gating.

Discovery of EP J175257.3-351923 as a Candidate Black Hole Low-Mass X-ray Binary
EP J175257.3-351923 is identified as a candidate black hole low-mass X-ray binary from its FRED outburst profile, persistent hard state, truncated disk spectrum with 217 keV cutoff, and high X-ray-to-optical ratio.

A multi-epoch spectral and photometric study to understand the nature of the interesting Be star candidate HD 249179
HD 249179, previously cataloged as a possible X-ray binary, shows H-alpha, Paschen, and O I emission, weak V/R changes, two pulsation frequency groups, and no detected X-rays, pointing to a classical Be star with an a...

Radio-X-ray Time Lags in GX 339-4: Probing Magnetic Field Transport in Black Hole Accretion
Time lag analysis using ICCF on GX 339-4 data reveals state-dependent radio-X-ray delays interpreted as evidence for magnetic field transport linking the inner accretion flow and jet.

Pulse profile modelling of the 2024 outburst of the accreting millisecond pulsar SRGA J144459.2-604207
Joint NICER+IXPE pulse-profile modeling of SRGA J144459.2-604207 favors large neutron-star mass and radius with two independent hotspots but shows strong sensitivity to joint-analysis methodology.

FACT -- Multi-wavelength analysis of more than 30 flares of Mrk 421
Mrk 421's X-ray and TeV flares are simultaneous, and its radio light curve can be reproduced as a delayed, smeared version of its GeV light curve.

Dense, multi-phase accretion disk atmosphere in the low-luminosity state of black hole transientV4641 Sgr
RGS spectra of V4641 Sgr reveal narrow N and O lines from a dense, multi-phase, photoionized disk atmosphere with log ξ ≈ 3.1 and 0.36 and velocities 540-720 km/s.

Multi-wavelength observation of MAXI J1820+070 with MAGIC, VERITAS and H.E.S.S
MAXI J1820+070 shows no significant very high energy gamma-ray emission above 182 GeV despite a bright X-ray outburst, and optical transient activity drops sharply during state transitions.
