Quenching and Recovery of Persistent X-Ray Emission during a Superburst in 4U 1820–30

Quenching and Recovery of Persistent X-Ray Emission during a Superburst in 4U 1820–30

We report the superburst from 4U 1820–30 in 2021 observed by the Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image and Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER). During the tail of the superburst, we found that the NICER light curve unexpectedly increased from 1080 to 2204 counts s ^−1 over 6.89 hr. From the...
