Mass and radius constraints for neutron stars using X-ray timing, spectral, and polarization observations
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-12-11)
Neutron stars (NSs) are the most dense objects in the Universe that can be directly observed. The nature of the cold ultra-dense matter inside them is still unresolved, and determining the equation of state (EoS) of that ...
Bl lac objects - view from the highest energies
(Turun yliopisto, 2020-06-16)
Relativistic jets launched by a super-massive black holes are among the most extreme particle accelerators in the Universe. BL Lac objects host a relativistic jet that points very close to our line of sight. They are the ...
Properties of highly magnetized neutron stars from X-ray timing analysis on different time scales
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-10-26)
Massive stars end their lives either by collapsing directly into a black hole or by exploding as a supernova, leaving behind their collapsed core, a black hole or a neutron star (NS). NSs are a showcase of extremities: ...
Observational studies of accreting X-ray pulsars in a broad energy range
(Turun yliopisto, 2022-11-04)
Among all interesting astrophysical objects in the universe, only a few are capable of improving our understanding of physics under extreme conditions. Accreting neutronstars are one of these objects. These compact objects ...
X-ray bursts as a tool to constrain the equation of state of the ultra-dense matter inside neutron stars
(Turun yliopisto, 2017-12-15)
Neutron stars are one of the most dense objects in the Universe. However, the exact description of the equation of state (EoS) of the cold ultra-dense matter inside them is still a mystery. In this thesis, we measure the ...
Environments of Active Galaxies
(Turun yliopistoAnnales Universitatis Turkuensis A I 447, 2012-11-10)
This dissertation presents studies on the environments of active galaxies.
Paper I is a case study of a cluster of galaxies containing BL Lac object RGB
1745+398. We measured the velocity dispersion, mass, and richness ...
The nature and rates of failed, rare, or obscured core-collapse supernovae and nuclear transients
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-11-04)
In this thesis, two major types of astrophysical phenomena are discussed: corecollapse supernovae and transient events associated with supermassive black holes in the nuclei of galaxies. The physical processes and observable ...
High-precision polarimetric, broad-band spectroscopic and temporal studies of black hole X-ray binaries
(Turun yliopisto, 2021-10-08)
Black holes are among the most unusual objects in the Universe. Powered through accretion, they are strong sources of radiation in a broad energy range, from radio to hard X-rays. Stellar-mass black holes manifest themselves ...
