Constraints on black hole accretion in V Puppis

Thomas J. Maccarone, Robert P. Fender, Christian Knigge +1

In light of the recent suggestion that the nearby eclipsing binary star system V Puppis has a dark companion on a long orbit, we present the results of radio and X-ray observations…

WFCAM Survey of M31 Globular Clusters: Low Mass X-ray Binaries

Mark B. Peacock, Thomas J. Maccarone, Christopher Z. Waters +4

We investigate the relationship between Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) and globular clusters (GCs) using UKIRT observations of M31 and existing Chandra, XMM-Newton, and ROSAT cata…

On the Origin of the 511 keV Emission in the Galactic Centre

Reba M. Bandyopadhyay, Joseph Silk, James E. Taylor +1

Diffuse 511 keV line emission, from the annihilation of cold positrons, has been observed in the direction of the Galactic Centre for more than 30 years. The latest high-resolution…

Low Mass X-ray Binaries and Black Holes in Globular Clusters

Arunav Kundu, Thomas J. Maccarone, Stephen E. Zepf +2

Studies of nearby galaxies reveal that roughly half of their low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) populations are associated with globular clusters (GCs). We have established that the LMXB…

Radio observations of NGC 2808 and other globular clusters: constraints on intermediate mass black holes

Thomas J. Maccarone, Mathieu Servillat

We present the results of a deep radio observation of the globular cluster NGC 2808. We show that there are no sources detected within the core of the cluster, placing constraints…

Stellar jets

Thomas J. Maccarone

With a goal of understanding the conditions under which jets might be produced in novae and related objects, I consider the conditions under which jets are produced from other clas…
