Unifying disc-jet behaviour in X-ray binaries: an optical/IR approach
David M. Russell, Dipankar Maitra, Rob P. Fender +1
Synchrotron emission from jets produced by X-ray binaries can be detected at optical and infrared (IR) frequencies. I show that optical/IR colour-magnitude diagrams of the outburst…
Monitoring LMXBs with the Faulkes Telescopes
Fraser Lewis, David M. Russell, Rob P. Fender +1
We have been undertaking a monitoring project of 13 low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) using FT North since early 2006. The introduction of FT South has allowed us to extend this moni…
Evidence for a jet contribution to the optical/infrared light of neutron star X-ray binaries
D. M. Russell, R. P. Fender, P. G. Jonker
Optical/near-infrared (optical/NIR; OIR) light from low-mass neutron star X-ray binaries (NSXBs) in outburst is traditionally thought to be thermal emission from the accretion disc…
Parallel tracks in infrared versus X-ray emission in black hole X-ray transient outbursts: a hysteresis effect?
D. M. Russell, T. J. Maccarone, E. G. Koerding +1
We report the discovery of a new hysteresis effect in black hole X-ray binary state transitions, that of the near-infrared (NIR) flux (which most likely originates in the jets) ver…
Monitoring LMXBs with the Faulkes Telescope
Fraser Lewis, David M. Russell, Rob P. Fender +1
The Faulkes Telescope Project is the educational arm of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT). It currently has two 2-metre robotic telescopes, located at Ha…
Jet-powered optical nebulae from X-ray binaries
David M. Russell, Rob P. Fender, Elena Gallo +2
Accreting black holes and neutron stars release an unknown fraction of the infalling particles and energy in the form of collimated jets. The jets themselves are radiatively ineffi…
