Analysis of optical spectroscopy and photometry of the type I X-ray bursting system UW CrB
M. R. Kennedy, P. Callanan, P. M. Garnavich +19
UW Coronae Borealis (UW CrB) is a low mass X-ray binary that shows both Type 1 X-ray and optical bursts, which typically last for 20 s. The system has a binary period of close to 2…
Soft X-ray prompt emission from a high-redshift gamma-ray burst EP240315a
Y. Liu, H. Sun, D. Xu +191
Long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are believed to originate from core collapse of massive stars. High-redshift GRBs can probe the star formation and reionization history of the early un…
Measuring the mass of the black widow PSR J1555-2908
M. R. Kennedy, R. P. Breton, C. J. Clark +8
Accurate measurements of the masses of neutron stars are necessary to test binary evolution models, and to constrain the neutron star equation of state. In pulsar binaries with no…
Searching For Fermi GRB Optical Counterparts With The Prototype Gravitational-Wave Optical Transient Observer (GOTO)
Y. -L. Mong, K. Ackley, D. K. Galloway +45
The typical detection rate of gamma-ray burst (GRB) per day by the \emph{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) provides a valuable opportunity to further our understanding o…
Accretion disc cooling and narrow absorption lines in the tidal disruption event AT 2019dsg
G. Cannizzaro, T. Wevers, P. G. Jonker +23
We present the results of a large multi-wavelength follow-up campaign of the Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) \dsg, focusing on low to high resolution optical spectroscopy, X-ray, and…
A model for redistributing heat over the surface of irradiated spider companions
G. Voisin, M. R. Kennedy, R. P. Breton +2
Spider pulsars are binary systems containing an energetic millisecond pulsar that intensely irradiates a closely orbiting low-mass companion. Modelling their companion's optical li…
First measurement of the total gravitational quadrupole moment of a black widow companion
Guillaume Voisin, C Clark, R Breton +3
We present the first measurement of the gravitational quadrupole moment of the companion star of a spider pulsar, namely the black widow PSR J20510827. To this end we have re-an…
