Don't torque like that. Measuring compact object magnetic fields with analytic torque models
J. J. R. Stierhof, E. Sokolova-Lapa, K. Berger +10
Context. Changes of the rotational period observed in various magnetized accreting sources are generally attributed to the interaction between the in-falling plasma and the large-s…
Optical flares due to X-ray irradiation during BeXRB major outbursts
G. Vasilopoulos
Be X-ray binaries (BeXRBs) may show strong X-ray and optical variability, and can exhibit some of the brightest outbursts that break through the Eddington limit. Major X-ray outbur…
Detection of the optical counterpart of the transient ULX NGC300 ULX-1: a nascent black hole - neutron star binary?
André-Nicolas Chené, Georgios Vasilopoulos, Lidia M. Oskinova +1
The end points of massive star evolution are poorly known, especially those in interacting binary systems containing compact objects, such as neutron stars or black holes. Such sys…
Two decades of optical variability of Small Magellanic Cloud high-mass X-ray binaries
Helena Treiber, Georgios Vasilopoulos, Charles Bailyn +2
We present an analysis of the long-term optical/IR behavior of 111 high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the Small Magellanic Cloud based on data from the OGLE collaboration. Most sy…
