Spectropolarimetric detection of baryonic mass loading in a transient relativistic jet: application to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
A. K. Hughes, R. P. Fender, G. R. Sivakoff +10
Radio emission during X-ray binary outbursts is dominated by synchrotron radiation from relativistic jets, but is usually studied through total-intensity diagnostics such as flux d…
Observational Biases and Improved Modelling of Off-axis Relativistic Jets
A. J. Cooper, A. P. Scott, L. Rhodes +8
Relativistic Doppler boosting significantly affects the observed emission of astrophysical jets resulting in observational biases. In this work we investigate the observational bia…
Dynamic shocks powered by a wide, relativistic, super-Eddington outflow launched by an accreting neutron star in the mid-20th century
F. J. Cowie, R. P. Fender, I. Heywood +11
Accreting systems can launch powerful outflows which interact with the surrounding medium. We combine new radio observations of the accreting neutron star X-ray binary (XRB) Circin…
Relativistic precessing jets powered by an accreting neutron star
F. J. Cowie, R. P. Fender, I. Heywood +9
Precessing relativistic jets launched by compact objects are rarely directly measured, and present an invaluable opportunity to better understand many features of astrophysical jet…
A relativistic jet from a neutron star breaking out of its natal supernova remnant
K. V. S. Gasealahwe, K. Savard, I. M. Monageng +10
The young neutron star X-ray binary, Cir X-1, resides within its natal supernova remnant and experiences ongoing outbursts every 16.5 days, likely due to periastron passage in an e…
Joint Radiative and Kinematic Modelling of X-ray Binary Ejecta: Energy Estimate and Reverse Shock Detection
A. J. Cooper, J. H. Matthews, F. Carotenuto +6
Black hole X-ray binaries in outburst launch discrete, large-scale jet ejections which can propagate to parsec scales. The kinematics of these ejecta appear to be well described by…
