On The Nature of Einstein Probe Transient EP250916a: Insights from X-ray, Optical, and Radio Observations
Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Giulia Illiano, Francesco Carotenuto +7
We report multi-wavelength studies of the transient EP250916a, detected by the Einstein Probe on 2025 September 16. Located at low Galactic latitude, the source exhibited a rapid X…
The odyssey of the black hole low mass X-ray binary GX339-4: Five years of dense multi-wavelength monitoring
E. Tremou, S. Corbel, R. Fender +15
We present the longest and the densest quasi-simultaneous radio, X-ray and optical campaign of the black hole low mass X-ray binary GX339-4, covering five years of weekly GX339-4 m…
Aql X-1 from dawn 'til dusk: the early rise, fast state transition and decay of its 2024 outburst
A. Marino, F. Coti Zelati, K. Alabarta +36
Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) are usually first detected by all-sky X-ray monitors when they enter new outbursts, typically at X-ray luminosities above 10…
Infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Soft State of GX 339-4 and the Mid-Infrared/X-ray Luminosity Plane of Black Hole X-ray Binaries
P. Gandhi, D. M. Russell, M. C. Baglio +33
Progress in understanding the growth of accreting black holes remains hampered by a lack of sensitive coordinated multiwavelength observations. In particular, the mid-infrared (MIR…
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,…
Sub-second optical/near-infrared quasi-periodic oscillations from the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-1613
F. M. Vincentelli, T. Shahbaz, P. Casella +14
We report on the detection of optical/near-infrared (O-IR) quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) from the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-1613. We obtained three X-ray and O-…
State-dependent signatures of jets and winds in the optical and infrared spectrum of the black hole transient GX 3394
A. Ambrifi, D. Mata Sánchez, T. Muñoz-Darias +14
GX 3394 is one of the prototypical black hole X-ray transients, exhibiting recurrent outbursts that allow detailed studies of black hole accretion and ejection phenomena. In thi…
Lack of emission lines in the optical spectra of SAX J1808.4-3658 during reflaring of the 2019 outburst
L. Asquini, M. C. Baglio, S. Campana +5
We present spectroscopy of the accreting X-ray binary and millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. These observations are the first to be obtained during a reflaring phase. We collecte…
X-ray and optical polarization aligned with the radio jet ejecta in GX 339-4
G. Mastroserio, B. De Marco, M. C. Baglio +27
We present the first X-ray polarization measurements of GX 339-4. IXPE observed this source twice during its 2023-2024 outburst, once in the soft-intermediate state and again durin…
Rapid Mid-Infrared Spectral-Timing with JWST. I. The prototypical black hole X-ray Binary GRS 1915+105 during a MIR-bright and X-ray-obscured state
P. Gandhi, E. S. Borowski, J. Byrom +44
We present mid-infrared (MIR) spectral-timing measurements of the prototypical Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. The source was observed with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on…
The omnipresent flux-dependent optical dips of the black hole transient Swift J1357.2-0933
G. Panizo-Espinar, T. Muñoz-Darias, M. Armas Padilla +15
Swift J1357.2-0933 is a black hole transient of particular interest due to the optical, recurrent dips found during its first two outbursts (in 2011 and 2017), with no obvious X-ra…
Physical constraints from near-infrared fast photometry of the black-hole transient GX 339-4
F. M. Vincentelli, P. Casella, P. Petrucci +9
We present results from the first multi-epoch X-ray/IR fast-photometry campaign on the black-hole transient GX 339--4, during its 2015 outburst decay. We studied the evolution of t…
A 420 day X-ray/optical modulation and extended X-ray dips in the short-period transient Swift J1753.5-0127
A. W. Shaw, P. A. Charles, A. J. Bird +6
We have discovered a \sim420d modulation, with associated X-ray dips, in RXTE-ASM/MAXI/Swift-BAT archival light-curves of the short-period (3.2h) black-hole X-ray transient, Swift…
