Taking a break: paused accretion in the symbiotic binary RT Cru

A. Pujol, G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai +10

Symbiotic binaries sometimes hide their symbiotic nature for significant periods of time. There is mounting observational evidence that in those symbiotics that are powered solely…

Diagnosing pulsar winds in black-widow, redback, and other binary millisecond pulsar systems

Anne Zilles, Kumiko Kotera, Rene Rohrmann +1

Binary systems composed of a recycled millisecond pulsar and a stellar companion in close orbit could be excellent sites to diagnose pulsar winds. In such systems, the pulsar outfl…

A Reverse Shock in GRB 181201A

Tanmoy Laskar, Hendrik van Eerten, Patricia Schady +26

We present comprehensive multiwavelength radio to X-ray observations of GRB 181201A spanning from s to days after the burst, comprising the first joint AL…

Dramatic change in the boundary layer in the symbiotic recurrent nova T Coronae Borealis

G. J. M. Luna, K. Mukai, J. L. Sokoloski +6

A sudden increase in the rate at which material reaches the most internal part of an accretion disk, i.e. the boundary layer, can change its structure dramatically. We have witness…

MASTER optical detection of the first LIGO/Virgo neutron stars merging GW170817

V. M. Lipunov, E. Gorbovskoy, V. G. Kornilov +30

Following the reported discovery of the gravitational-wave pulse GW170817/ G298048 by three LIGO/Virgo antennae (Abbott et al., 2017a), the MASTER Global Robotic Net telescopes obt…

MASTER optical polarization variability detection in the Microquasar V404 Cyg/GS2023+33

Vladimir M. Lipunov, E. Gorbovskoy, V. Kornilov +23

On 2015 June 15 the Swift space observatory discovered that the Galactic black hole candidate V404 Cyg was undergoing another active X-ray phase, after 25 years of inactivity (Bart…

Swift observations of the 2015 outburst of AG Peg -- from slow nova to classical symbiotic outburst

Gavin Ramsay, J. L. Sokoloski, G. J. M. Luna +1

Symbiotic stars often contain white dwarfs with quasi-steady shell burning on their surfaces. However, in most symbiotics, the origin of this burning is unclear. In symbiotic slow…

First Gravitational-Wave Burst GW150914: Part II. MASTER Optical Follow-Up Observations

V. M. Lipunov, V. Kornilov, E. Gorbovskoy +33

The Advanced LIGO observatory recently reported the first direct detection of gravitational waves predicted by Einstein (1916). We report on the first optical observations of the G…

Symbiotic stars in X-rays III: Suzaku observations

N. E. Nuñez, T. Nelson, K. Mukai +2

We describe the X-ray emission as observed with Suzaku from five symbiotic stars that we selected for deep Suzaku observations after their initial detection with ROSAT, ASCA and Sw…

Early polarization observations of the optical emission of gamma-ray bursts: GRB150301B and GRB150413A

E. S. Gorbovskoy, V. M. Lipunov, D. Buckley +32

We report early optical linear polarization observations of two gamma-ray bursts made with the MASTER robotic telescope network. We found the minimum polar- ization for GRB150301B…

XMM-Newton EPIC and OM observation of Nova Centauri 1986 (V842 Cen)

G. J. M. Luna, M. P. Diaz, N. S. Brickhouse +1

We report the results from the temporal and spectral analysis of an XMM-Newton observation of Nova Centauri 1986 (V842 Cen). We detect a period at 3.510.4 h in the EPIC data a…

The White Dwarf Mass and the Accretion Rate of Recurrent Novae: an X-ray Perspective

Koji Mukai, Jennifer L. Sokoloski, Thomas Nelson +1

We present recent results of quiescent X-ray observations of recurrent novae (RNe) and related objects. Several RNe are luminous hard X-ray sources in quiescence, consistent with a…
