Sub-second infrared variability from the archetypal accreting neutron star 4U~1728-34

F. M. Vincentelli, P. Casella, A. Borghese +23

We report on the first simultaneous high-time resolution X-ray and infrared (IR) observations of a neutron star low mass X-ray binary in its hard state. We performed h…

What could KIDSpec, a new MKID spectrograph, do on the ELT?

V. Benedict Hofmann, Kieran O'Brien, Deli Geng

Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detectors (MKIDs) are beginning to become more prominent in astronomical instrumentation, due to their sensitivity, low noise, high pixel count for sup…

Fast infrared variability from the black-hole candidate MAXI J1535571 and tight constraints on the modelling

F. M. Vincentelli, P. Casella, D. Russell +7

We present the results regarding the analysis of the fast X-ray/infrared (IR) variability of the black-hole transient MAXI J1535571. The data studied in this work consist of two…
