Original abstract

We study the spectra of the accreting X-ray millisecond pulsar SRGA J144459.2-604207 during the 2024 outburst using the Neutron star Interior Composition Explorer (NICER) and Swift observations. The spectra during the outburst decay, reflares, and quiescent state are explored using the absorbed Comptonized model. We find that the spectra during the quiescent state can also be explained using the absorbed power-law and absorbed blackbody model. The spectral evolution of the source is explored as the outburst decays into quiescence. We study the long-term quiescent X-ray activity of the source spanning roughly 45 years and find that the long-term quiescent luminosity may be explained using the deep crustal heating model. We also find that the coronal activity of the companion star alone cannot power the quiescent X-ray luminosity of the source. We place the source on the radio-X-ray luminosity plane and compare its position with other sources. We estimate the propeller luminosity of the source and find that it is smaller than the estimated luminosity during reflares and the quiescent state during the 2024 outburst. Several reflares are detected during the outburst decay, one of which is near-simultaneous with the detection of an ultrafast outflow and radio emission. We explore plausible mechanisms that may power outflow, radio emission and associated jet formation in this accreting binary.
