SPECULATE: A synthetic spectral library, emulator and fitting package for accretion disc winds -- Infrastructure and application to CVs
Austen G. W. Wallis, Christian Knigge, James H. Matthews +6
Disc winds are critical components of accreting astrophysical systems and their observations can yield a wide variety of spectral line profiles. Yet, inferring disc wind parameters…
COPAS: Compact Objects and the Physics of Accretion Survey I. Accreting Binaries with P < 83 Minutes
Wendy Mendoza, Liliana Rivera Sandoval, Jan Kára +9
We present the first results from the Compact Objects and the Physics of Accretion Survey (COPAS), a high-cadence photometric survey focused on the detection of accreting white dwa…
Shedding far-ultraviolet light on the donor star and evolutionary state of the neutron-star LMXB Swift J1858.6-0814
N. Castro Segura, C. Knigge, J. H. Matthews +13
The evolution of accreting X-ray binary systems is closely coupled to the properties of their donor stars. As a result, we can constrain the evolutionary track a system is by estab…
A disc wind model for blueshifts in quasar broad emission lines
James H. Matthews, Jago Strong-Wright, Christian Knigge +7
Blueshifts - or, more accurately, blue asymmetries - in broad emission lines such as CIV 1550 are common in luminous quasars and correlate with fundamental properties such as Ed…
Evidence for mass-dependent peculiar velocities in compact object binaries: Towards better constraints on natal kicks
Yue Zhao, Poshak Gandhi, Cordelia Dashwood Brown +4
We compile a catalogue of low-mass and high-mass X-ray binaries, some recently reported binaries that likely host a neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH), and binary pulsars (a pu…
Cataclysmic variables are a key population of gravitational wave sources for LISA
S. Scaringi, K. Breivik, T. B. Littenberg +3
The gravitational wave (GW) signals from the Galactic population of cataclysmic variables (CVs) have yet to be carefully assessed. Here we estimate these signals and evaluate their…
