Characterising the short-orbital period X-ray transient Swift J1910.2-0546
J. M. Corral-Santana, P. Rodriguez-Gil, M. A. P. Torres +13
SwiftJ1910.2-0546 is a Galactic X-ray transient discovered during a bright outburst in 2012. We use time-series optical photometry and spectroscopy to estimate the orbital period,…
BlackCAT: A catalogue of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray transients
Jesus M. Corral-Santana, Jorge Casares, Teo Munoz-Darias +3
During the last ~50 years, the population of black hole candidates in X-ray binaries has increased considerably with 59 Galactic objects detected in transient low-mass X-ray binari…
Dynamical masses of a nova-like variable on the edge of the period gap
P. Rodríguez-Gil, T. Shahbaz, T. R. Marsh +12
We present the first dynamical determination of the binary parameters of an eclipsing SW Sextantis star in the 3-4 hour orbital period range during a low state. We obtained time-re…
The magnetic SW Sextantis star RX J1643.7+3402
P. Rodriguez-Gil, I. G. Martinez-Pais, J. de la Cruz Rodriguez
We present time-resolved spectroscopy and circular spectropolarimetry of the SW Sex star RX J1643.7+3402. We find significant polarisation levels exhibiting a variability at a peri…
Dynamical constraints on the neutron star mass in EXO 0748-676
T. Muñoz-Darias, J. Casares, K. O'Brien +4
We present VLT intermediate resolution spectroscopy of UY Vol, the optical counterpart of the LMXB X-ray burster EXO 0748-676. By using Doppler tomography we detect narrow componen…
On the masses and evolutionary status of the black hole binary GX 339-4. A twin system of XTE J1550-564?
T. Muñoz-Darias, J. Casares, I. G. Martinez-Pais
We apply the K-correction to the black hole LMXB GX 339-4 which implies Mx > 6 Msun by only assuming that the companion is more massive than ~0.17 Msun, the lower limit allowed by…
