A multi-wavelength study of GRS 1716-249 in outburst : constraints on its system parameters

Payaswini Saikia, David M. Russell, M. C. Baglio +27

We present a detailed study of the evolution of the Galactic black hole transient GRS 1716-249 during its 2016-2017 outburst at optical (Las Cumbres Observatory), mid-infrared (Ver…

Resolving the cosmic X-ray background with a next-generation high-energy X-ray observatory

R. C. Hickox, F. Civano, D. R. Ballantyne +16

The cosmic X-ray background (CXB), which peaks at an energy of ~30 keV, is produced primarily by emission from accreting supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The CXB therefore serves…

Infrared timing with SPICA: Probing the formation of stellar-mass compact object jets in real-time

P. Gandhi, D. M. Russell, P. Casella +2

The time domain remains, in many respects, the least explored of parameter spaces in astronomical studies. The purpose of this article is to encourage the SPICA community to consid…

The Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT)

M. Feroci, the LOFT Consortium

High-time-resolution X-ray observations of compact objects provide direct access to strong-field gravity, to the equation of state of ultra-dense matter and to black hole masses an…
