Following up our first paper that discussed 31 sources (see Maselli et al.; 20 sources detected as point sources and one very extended source), we present results for this final sample of 17 radio sources that previously lacked dedicated, pointed narrow-field-of-view (FOV) X-ray observations. One of these 17 sources, undetected by Swift due to a very short exposure, was instead detected by eROSITA, and given in the Data Release 1 (DR1) Catalog. No 1eRASS source was found in the DR1 for the remaining source, unobserved by Swift. The new Swift observations led to 11 X-ray source detections in the 0.3–10 keV band and six upper limits. We investigated the extent of the X-ray emission and the hardness ratio, and when statistics allowed, we carried out a spectral analysis. The X-ray emission of eight sources is consistent with pointlike emission, while three sources show clear evidence of extent, each with peculiar properties. We used the X-ray determined positions and uncertainties of the 12 detected sources to establish associations with infrared and optical sources from the AllWISE and the GSC 2.4.2 catalogs. Requiring a detection in both the infrared and the optical bands to establish a candidate counterpart for our X-ray detections, we identify counterparts for all 12 sources. Following this X-ray-based approach to derive the position of the active nucleus, we are able to confirm the same IR counterparts previously proposed by White et al. for eight sources, and provide four new IR candidates. In the optical, we identify counterparts that match the candidates previously given by Burgess & Hunstead for all sources. We discuss the interesting structure of MRC B0344−345 and PKS B2148−555, two of the six extended X-ray sources that we detected in both our Swift campaigns, and suggest they are very promising for further X-ray and radio investigations. For the 38 SMS4 sources that lack pointed, narrow-FOV X-ray telescope observations, after our Swift campaigns, we list 18 likely counterparts from the eROSITA DR1 catalog.","PeriodicalId":22368,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, for the pulses in XRBs, which are an important part of unraveling radiation processes such as magnetic reconnection and crustal rupture, their variable statistical characteristics are still unclear. In this work, we investigate the distributions of fluctuations in duration, waiting time, peak count rate, and total counts of pulses within bursts from two active and prolific magnetars, SGR J1935+2154 and SGR J1550-5418, observed by Fermi’s Gamma-ray Burst Monitor, Insight-HXMT, and GECAM. We report that the waiting time for pulses follows SOC, whereas previous studies indicated for bursts do not, possibly due to incomplete observations.

The <italic toggle=\"yes\">α</italic>-values for the duration of pulses for both magnetars are ∼2, and the inferred Euclidean dimension <italic toggle=\"yes\">S</italic> is 3.

Leveraging the large volume of high-signal-to-noise-ratio photometric follow-up data from TESS, highly precise physical properties can be estimated for these systems, especially for those discovered using ground-based instruments prior to the TESS mission. In this work, I have used the publicly available TESS follow-up data for 28 transiting systems with 10 < <italic toggle=\"yes\">V</italic>\u0000<sub>mag</sub> < 10.5, with an aim to update their known physical properties. The observed lightcurves have been analyzed by implementing a state-of-the-art critical noise treatment algorithm to effectively reduce both time-correlated and uncorrelated noise components, using sophisticated techniques like wavelet denoising and Gaussian-process regression. Compared with the previous studies, the estimated transit parameters are found to be more precise for most of the targets, including a few cases where a larger space-based instrument like Spitzer, Kepler, or CHEOPS has been used in the previous study. The large volume of transit observations used for each target has also resulted in a more accurate estimation of the physical properties, as this overcomes any error in parameter estimations from bias present in a smaller volume of data. Thus, comparing with the literature values, statistically significant improvements in the known physical properties of several targeted systems have been reported from this work. The large volume of transit-timing information from the analyses was also used to search for transit-timing variation trends in these targets, which has resulted in no significant detection.","PeriodicalId":22368,"journal":{"name":"The Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142187539","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several publicly available codes based on different sampling algorithms can solve these complex models, but the execution of the code is not always efficient or fast enough. The article introduces a C language general-purpose code, Nii-C, that implements a framework of automatic parallel tempering Markov Chain Monte Carlo. Automatic in this context means that the parameters that ensure an efficient parallel tempering process can be set by a control system during the inital stages of a sampling process. The autotuned parameters consist of two parts, the temperature ladders of all parallel tempering Markov Chains and the proposal distributions for all model parameters across all parallel tempering chains. In order to reduce dependencies in the compilation process and increase the code’s execution speed, Nii-C code is constructed entirely in the C language and parallelized using the message-passing interface protocol to optimize the efficiency of parallel sampling. These implementations facilitate rapid convergence in the sampling of high-dimensional and multimodal distributions, as well as the expeditious code execution time. The Nii-C code can be used in various research areas to trace complex distributions due to its high sampling efficiency and quick execution speed.
