The Physics of the Nebular Phase in Black Hole X-ray Binaries: Modelling V404 Cygni
A. Ambrifi, T. Muñoz-Darias, J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros +3
Some of the most extreme galactic black hole transients exhibit a nebular phase at the end of their outbursts. This stage was first identified in the 2015 outburst of V404 Cygni, w…
X-ray luminous late-type giants: an overlooked population contributing to the Galactic ridge iron line emission
Tong Bao, Gabriele Ponti, Xiao-jie Xu +8
The origin of the highly ionized iron emission (Fe XXV at ) characterizing the Galactic ridge X-ray emission (GRXE) remains a fundamental puzzle in high-energy a…
A search for optical counterparts in quiescent black hole X-ray transients
I. V. Yanes-Rizo, J. Casares, M. A. P. Torres +7
Dynamical mass measurements of compact stars in X-ray transients demand the detection of optical/near infrared counterparts in quiescence. Out of the 73 black-hole candidates in X-…
Evidence for inflows and outflows in the nearby black hole transient Swift J1727.8-162
D. Mata Sánchez, T. Muñoz-Darias, M. Armas Padilla +2
We present 20 epochs of optical spectroscopy obtained with the GTC-10.4m telescope across the bright discovery outburst of the black hole candidate Swift J1727.8-162. The spectra c…
Fast infrared winds during the radio-loud and X-ray obscured stages of the black hole transient GRS 1915+105
J. Sánchez-Sierras, T. Muñoz-Darias, S. E. Motta +10
The black hole transient GRS 1915+105 entered a new phase of activity in 2018, generally characterised by low X-ray and radio fluxes. This phase has been only interrupted by episod…
An infrared FWHM- correlation to uncover highly reddened quiescent black holes
V. A. Cúneo, J. Casares, M. Armas Padilla +7
Among the sample of Galactic transient X-ray binaries (SXTs) discovered to date, about 70 have been proposed as likely candidates to host a black hole. Yet, only 19 have been dynam…
