Optical and Near Infrared Monitoring of the Black-Hole X-ray Binary GX 339-4 During 2002-2010
Michelle M. Buxton, Charles D. Bailyn, Holly L. Capelo +4
We present the optical/infra-red lightcurve (O/IR) of the black hole X-ray binary GX 339-4 collected at the SMARTS 1.3m telescope from 2002 to 2010. During this time the source has…
The fate of Cyg X-1: an empirical lower limit on BH-NS merger rate
Krzysztof Belczynski, Tomasz Bulik, Charles Bailyn
The recent distance determination allowed precise estimation of the orbital parameters of Cyg X-1, which contains a massive 14.8 Msun BH with a 19.2 Msun O star companion. This sys…
The Mass Distribution of Stellar-Mass Black Holes
Will M. Farr, Niharika Sravan, Andrew Cantrell +4
We perform a Bayesian analysis of the mass distribution of stellar-mass black holes using the observed masses of 15 low-mass X-ray binary systems undergoing Roche lobe overflow and…
