Triggering micronovae through magnetically confined accretion flows in accreting white dwarfs
S. Scaringi, P. J. Groot, C. Knigge +5
Rapid bursts at optical wavelengths have been reported for several accreting white dwarfs, where the optical luminosity can increase by up to a factor 30 in less than an hour fadin…
Astrometric excess noise in Gaia EDR3 and the search for X-ray binaries
P. Gandhi, D. A. H. Buckley, P. A. Charles +6
Astrometric noise (AEN) in excess of parallax and proper motion is a potential signature of orbital wobble of individual components in binary star systems. The combination of X-ray…
The early afterglow of GRB 190829A
S. Dichiara, E. Troja, V. Lipunov +19
GRB 190829A at z=0.0785 is the fourth closest long GRB ever detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, and the third confirmed case with a very high energy component. We prese…
Large optical modulations during 2018 outburst of MAXI J1820+070 reveal evolution of warped accretion disc through X-ray state change
Jessymol K. Thomas, Philip A. Charles, David A. H. Buckley +5
The black-hole X-ray transient MAXI J1820+07 (=ASSASN-18ey) discovered in March 2018 was one of the optically brightest ever seen, which has resulted in very detailed optical outbu…
The Be/neutron star system Swift J004929.5-733107 in the Small Magellanic Cloud -- X-ray characteristics and optical counterpart candidates
M. J. Coe, J. A. Kennea, P. A. Evans +4
Swift J004929.5-733107 is an X-ray source in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that has been reported several times, but the optical counterpart has been unclear due to source confu…
Probing the reach of the Intermediate Polar Cataclysmic Variable Population with Swift J183920.1-045350
Nicholas M. Gorgone, Patrick A. Woudt, David Buckley +18
We report on the Swift/XRT Deep Galactic Plane Survey discovery and multi-wavelength follow-up observations of a new intermediate polar Cataclysmic Variable, Swift J183920.1-045350…
