The 2003 radio outburst of a new X-ray transient: XTE J1720-318

C. Brocksopp, S. Corbel, R. P. Fender +5

We present radio observations of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1720-318, which was discovered in 2003 January as it entered an outburst. We analyse the radio data in the cont…

On the Origin of Radio Emission in the X-ray States of XTE J1650-500 during the 2001-2002 Outburst

S. Corbel, R. P. Fender, J. A. Tomsick +2

We report on simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the black hole candidate XTE J1650-500 during the course of its 2001-2002 outburst. The scheduling of the observations all…

A microquasar shot out from its birth place

I. F. Mirabel, I. Rodrigues, Q. Z. Liu

We show that the microquasar LSI+61303 is running away from its birth place in a young complex of massive stars. The supernova explosion that formed the compact object shot out the…

Optical polarimetric observations of the microquasar LS 5039

J. A. Combi, S. A. Cellone, J. Marti +3

We present the first optical polarimetric observations of the runaway microquasar LS 5039. Our results reveal the presence of a large amount (~5%) of polarized emission towards thi…

Temporal evolution of magnetic molecular shocks II. Analytics of the steady state and semi-analytical construction of intermediate ages

P. Lesaffre, J. -P. Chièze, S. Cabrit +1

In the first paper of this series (Paper I) we computed time dependent simulations of multifluid shocks with chemistry and a transverse magnetic field frozen in the ions, using an…

Temporal evolution of magnetic molecular shocks I. Moving grid simulations

P. Lesaffre, J. -P. Chièze, S. Cabrit +1

We present time-dependent 1D simulations of multifluid magnetic shocks with chemistry resolved down to the mean free path. They are obtained with an adaptive moving grid implemente…
