The Plane's The Thing: The Case for Wide-Fast-Deep Coverage of the Galactic Plane and Bulge

Jay Strader, Elias Aydi, Christopher Britt +21

We argue that the exclusion of the Galactic Plane and Bulge from the uniform wide-fast-deep (WFD) LSST survey cadence is fundamentally inconsistent with two of the main science dri…

Discovery of a transient ultraluminous X-ray source in the elliptical galaxy M86

Lennart M. van Haaften, Thomas J. Maccarone, Katherine L. Rhode +2

We report the discovery of the transient ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) CXOU J122602.3+125951 (hereafter M86 tULX-1), located 3'52" (19 kpc) northwest of the centre of the giant…

On the Nature of the X-ray Emission from the Ultraluminous X-ray Source, M33 X-8: New Constraints from NuSTAR and XMM-Newton

Lacey A. West, Bret D. Lehmer, Daniel Wik +12

We present nearly simultaneous NuSTAR and XMM-Newton observations of the nearby (832 kpc) ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M33 X-8. M33 X-8 has a 0.3-10 keV luminosity of LX ~ 1.4…

Swift X-ray and UV Observations of SDSS J141118.31+481257.6 During its First Ever Recorded Superoutburst

L. E. Rivera Sandoval, T. J. Maccarone

SDSS J141118.31+481257.6 is an ultracompact white dwarf binary (or AM CVn system) with an orbital period of 46 min. We analyze ~23 ks of X-ray and UV data taken with the Neil Gehre…

Simulating the Collapse of a Thick Accretion Disk due to a Type I X-ray Burst from a Neutron Star

P. Chris Fragile, David R. Ballantyne, Thomas J. Maccarone +1

We use two-dimensional, general relativistic, viscous, radiation hydrodynamic simulations to study the impact of a Type I X-ray burst on a hot and geometrically thick accretion dis…

Science with an ngVLA: The ngVLA Science Case and Associated Science Requirements

Eric J. Murphy, Alberto Bolatto, Shami Chatterjee +22

The science case and associated science requirements for a next-generation Very Large Array (ngVLA) are described, highlighting the five key science goals developed out of a commun…
