The compact jets of the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127 during its 2023-2024 outburst

Noa Grollimund, Stéphane Corbel, Lauren Rhodes +14

X-ray binaries are excellent laboratories to study the coupling between accretion and ejection phenomena around compact objects through multiwavelength observations. Swift J1753.5-…

Scaling Up: A Global Optical/X-ray Correlation For Reprocessing Across Black Hole Masses

Changhyun Cho, David M. Russell, Aaryan Sharma +9

This study extends the optical/X-ray correlation from black hole low-mass X-ray binaries (XRBs) to active galactic nuclei (AGN), bridging scales from stellar-mass to supermassive b…

A Multi-Wavelength Picture of the Surprisingly Short 2024/25 Outburst from EXO 0748-676

Amy H. Knight, Lauren Rhodes, Noel Castro Segura +11

After sixteen years in quiescence, EXO 0748-676 unexpectedly returned to outburst in March 2024. However, in stark contrast to its previous outburst (1985 - 2008), EXO 0748-676 ret…

Fast optical spectroscopic observations of PSR J1023+0038 over one orbital period

M. M. Messa, M. C. Baglio, P. D'Avanzo +8

Transitional millisecond pulsars (tMSPs) are neutron-star binaries that switch between rotation-powered and accretion-powered states, providing a key link between low-mass X-ray bi…

A NICER view of the corona through time-dependent Comptonization of the quasi-periodic oscillations in nine black-hole X-ray binaries

Yuexin Zhang, Mariano Méndez, James F. Steiner +12

We present a systematic study of the evolution of the corona geometry in nine black hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) using archival data from NICER. We identify 171 observations exhibi…

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…
