Superorbital variability in the quiescent black hole X-ray transient A0620-00

Enzo A. Saavedra, Roi Alonso, Teo Muñoz-Darias +10

Quiescent black hole low-mass X-ray binaries provide a key setting for probing accretion physics at low luminosities. A0620-00, the archetypal system in this class, has remained in…

A FAST search for radio pulsations during the dormant state of the AMSPs IGR J00291+5934 and MAXI J1957+032

A. Marino, E. Parent, F. Coti Zelati +15

Accreting millisecond pulsars (AMSPs) and transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) are neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries which can evolve into "recycled" radio millisecond pulsa…

Exotic optical variability in the black hole X-ray binary IGR J17091-3624

Payaswini Saikia, David M. Russell, D. M. Bramich +9

IGR J17091-3624 is a distinctive black hole X-ray binary exhibiting exotic variability, including complex "heartbeat" oscillations in its X-ray light curves, similar to those obser…

Tracking optical variability and outflows across the accretion states of the black hole transient MAXI J1820+070

M. C. Baglio, K. Alabarta, D. M. Russell +10

We present a study of the minute-timescale optical variability and spectroscopic outflow signatures in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its 2018 outburst and re-br…

A Hidden Pulse: Uncovering a New Timing Signal in Cygnus X-1 with AstroSat

Sandeep K. Rout, Federico Garcia, Mariano Mendez +4

The study of fast variability properties in X-ray binaries advances our understanding of the physical processes and geometric properties of the accretion flow around the compact ob…

The Accretion-Ejection Connection in the Black Hole X-ray Binary MAXI J1820070

Joe S. Bright, Rob Fender, David M. Russell +12

The black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820070 began its first recorded outburst in March 2018, and remained an active radio, X-ray, and optical source for over four years. Due to th…
