A misfired outburst in the neutron star X-ray binary Centaurus X-4
M. C. Baglio, P. Saikia, D. M. Russell +12
We report on a long-term optical monitoring of the neutron star X-ray binary Centaurus X-4 performed during the last 13.5 years. This source has been in quiescence since its outbur…
Gaia Photometric Science Alerts
S. T. Hodgkin, D. L. Harrison, E. Breedt +108
Since July 2014, the Gaia mission has been engaged in a high-spatial-resolution, time-resolved, precise, accurate astrometric, and photometric survey of the entire sky. Aims: We pr…
Optical and ultraviolet pulsed emission from an accreting millisecond pulsar
F. Ambrosino, A. Miraval Zanon, A. Papitto +28
Millisecond spinning, low magnetic field neutron stars are believed to attain their fast rotation in a 0.1-1 Gyr-long phase during which they accrete matter endowed with angular mo…
Probing jet launching in neutron star X-ray binaries: the variable and polarized jet of SAX J1808.4-3658
M. C. Baglio, D. M. Russell, S. Crespi +16
We report on an optical photometric and polarimetric campaign on the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP) SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2019 outburst. The emergence of a low-fre…
Gaia18aen: First symbiotic star discovered by Gaia
J. Merc, J. Mikołajewska, M. Gromadzki +20
Besides the astrometric mission of the Gaia satellite, its repeated and high-precision measurements serve also as an all-sky photometric transient survey. The sudden brightenings o…
Enhanced optical activity 12 days before X-ray activity, and a 4 day X-ray delay during outburst rise, in a low-mass X-ray binary
A. J. Goodwin, D. M. Russell, D. K. Galloway +12
X-ray transients, such as accreting neutron stars, periodically undergo outbursts, thought to be caused by a thermal-viscous instability in the accretion disk. Usually outbursts of…
Bright mini-outburst ends the 12-year long activity of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127
Guobao Zhang, F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell +16
We present optical, UV and X-ray monitoring of the short orbital period black hole X-ray binary candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, focusing on the final stages of its 12year long out…
IGR J17329-2731: The birth of a symbiotic X-ray binary
E. Bozzo, A. Bahramian, C. Ferrigno +10
We report on the results of the multiwavelength campaign carried out after the discovery of the INTEGRAL transient IGR J17329-2731. The optical data collected with the SOAR telesco…
A long-period Cepheid variable in the starburst cluster VdBH222
J. S. Clark, I. Negueruela, M. E. Lohr +4
Galactic starburst clusters play a twin role in astrophysics, serving as laboratories for the study of stellar physics and also delineating the structure and recent star formation…
The optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26
T. Muñoz-Darias, A. de Ugarte Postigo, D. M. Russell +13
We present a 30-day monitoring campaign of the optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, starting only 19 minutes after the discovery of the source. We obse…
A late jet rebrightening revealed from multi-wavelength monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223
D. M. Russell, P. A. Curran, T. Muñoz-Darias +15
We present optical monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during its 2009 - 2010 outburst and decay to quiescence. The optical light curve can be described by an expo…
The Double-Peaked 2008 Outburst of the Accreting Milli-Second X-ray Pulsar, IGR J00291+5934
F. Lewis, D. M. Russell, P. G. Jonker +18
In August 2008, the accreting milli-second X-ray pulsar (AMXP), IGR J00291+5934, underwent an outburst lasting ~ 100 days, the first since its discovery in 2004. We present data fr…
A long-term optical - X-ray correlation in 4U 1957+11
D. M. Russell, F. Lewis, P. Roche +3
[abridged] Three years of optical monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1957+11 is presented. The source was observed in V, R and i-bands using the Faulkes Telescopes N…
