Lack of PAH emission toward low-mass embedded young stellar objects

V. C. Geers, E. F. van Dishoeck, K. M. Pontoppidan +4

PAHs have been detected toward molecular clouds and some young stars with disks, but have not yet been associated with embedded young stars. We present a sensitive mid-IR spectrosc…

The formation of the black hole in the X-ray binary system V404 Cyg

J. C. A. Miller-Jones, P. G. Jonker, G. Nelemans +5

Using new and archival radio data, we have measured the proper motion of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cyg to be 9.2+/-0.3 mas/yr. Combined with the systemic radial velocity fro…

An Accurate Determination of the Optical Periodic Modulation in the X-Ray Binary SAX J1808.4-3658

Zhongxiang Wang, Cees Bassa, Andrew Cumming +1

We report on optical imaging of the X-ray binary SAX J1808.4-3658 with the 8-m Gemini South Telescope. The binary, containing an accretion-powered millisecond pulsar, appears to ha…

Chandra and Swift observations of the quasi-persistent neutron star transient EXO 0748-676 back to quiescence

N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands, M. T. Wolff +8

The quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient and eclipsing binary EXO 0748-676 recently started the transition to quiescence following an accretion outburst that lasted more t…
