LOFAR Observations of Swift J1644+57 and Implications for Short-Duration Transients

Y. Cendes, R. A. M. J. Wijers, J. D. Swinbank +25

Aims: We have analyzed low frequency radio data of tidal disruption event (TDE) Swift J1644+57 to search for a counterpart. We consider how brief transient signals (on the order of…

The X-ray Flux Distribution of Sagittarius A* as Seen by Chandra

J. Neilsen, S. Markoff, M. A. Nowak +11

We present a statistical analysis of the X-ray flux distribution of Sgr A* from the Chandra X-ray Observatory's 3 Ms Sgr A* X-ray Visionary Project (XVP) in 2012. Our analysis indi…

Constraints on Relativistic Jets in Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Binaries from Broadband Spectral Modeling

Richard M. Plotkin, Elena Gallo, Sera Markoff +5

The nature of black hole jets at the lowest detectable luminosities remains an open question, largely due to a dearth of observational constraints. Here, we present a new, nearly-s…

The LOFAR long baseline snapshot calibrator survey

J. Moldón, A. T. Deller, O. Wucknitz +82

Aims. An efficient means of locating calibrator sources for International LOFAR is developed and used to determine the average density of usable calibrator sources on the sky for s…

Shell-Shocked: The Interstellar Medium Near Cygnus X-1

P. H. Sell, S. Heinz, E. Richards +6

We conduct a detailed case-study of the interstellar shell near the high-mass X-ray binary, Cygnus X-1. We present new WIYN optical spectroscopic and Chandra X-ray observations of…

The radio/X-ray domain of black hole X-ray binaries at the lowest radio luminosities

E. Gallo, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, D. M. Russell +7

[Abridged] We report on deep, coordinated radio and X-ray observations of the black hole X-ray binary XTE J1118+480 in quiescence. The source was observed with the Karl G. Jansky V…
