Swift/XRT monitoring of the orbital and superorbital modulations in 4U 1909+07

P. Romano, H. I. Cohen, E. Bozzo +5

We report on an observational campaign performed with Swift/XRT on the wind-fed supergiant X-ray binary 4U 1909+07 to investigate the nature of the orbital and superorbital modulat…

PACMan2: Next Steps in Proposal Review Management

Louis-Gregory Strolger, Jamila Pegues, Tegan King +5

With the start of a new Great Observatories era, there is renewed concern that the demand for these forefront facilities, through proposal pressure, will exceed conventional peer-r…

Investigating the superorbital modulations in 4U 1909+07, IGR J16418-4532 and IGR J16479-4514 with Swift XRT, BAT and NuSTAR observations

Nazma Islam, Robin H. D. Corbet, Joel B. Coley +2

A puzzling variety of superorbital modulations have been discovered in several supergiant High-Mass X-ray binaries (sgHMXBs). To investigate the mechanisms driving these superorbit…

Diverse Long-Term Variability of Five Candidate High-Mass X-ray Binaries from Swift Burst Alert Telescope Observations

Robin H. D. Corbet, Joel B. Coley, Hans A. Krimm

We present an investigation of long-term modulation in the X-ray light curves of five little-studied candidate high-mass X-ray binaries using the Swift Burst Alert Telescope. IGR J…

A Luminous Gamma-ray Binary in the Large Magellanic Cloud

R. H. D. Corbet, L. Chomiuk, M. J. Coe +9

Gamma-ray binaries consist of a neutron star or a black hole interacting with a normal star to produce gamma-ray emission that dominates the radiative output of the system. Only a…
