The 2019 outburst of AMXP SAX J1808.4-3658 and radio follow up of MAXI J0911-655 and XTE J1701-462

K. V. S. Gasealahwe, I. M. Monageng, R. P. Fender +14

We present radio coverage of the 2019 outburst of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658, obtained with MeerKAT. We compare these data to contemporaneous X-ray and…

Identifying and characterising the population of hot sub-luminous stars with multi-colour MeerLICHT data

P. Ranaivomanana, C. Johnston, P. J. Groot +9

Colour-magnitude diagrams reveal a population of blue (hot) sub-luminous objects with respect to the main sequence. These hot sub-luminous stars are the result of evolutionary proc…

SXP 15.6 -- an accreting pulsar close to spin equilibrium?

M. J. Coe, I. M. Monageng, J. A. Kennea +12

SXP 15.6 is a recently established Be star X-ray binary system (BeXRB) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Like many such systems the variable X-ray emission is driven by the unde…
