Characterising the short-orbital period X-ray transient Swift J1910.2-0546
J. M. Corral-Santana, P. Rodriguez-Gil, M. A. P. Torres +13
SwiftJ1910.2-0546 is a Galactic X-ray transient discovered during a bright outburst in 2012. We use time-series optical photometry and spectroscopy to estimate the orbital period,…
EP240801a/XRF 240801B: An X-ray Flash Detected by the Einstein Probe and Implications of its Multiband Afterglow
Shuai-Qing Jiang, Dong Xu, Agnes P. C. van Hoof +89
We present multiband observations and analysis of EP240801a, a low-energy, extremely soft gamma-ray burst (GRB) discovered on August 1, 2024 by the Einstein Probe (EP) satellite, w…
On the distance to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
Benjamin J. Burridge, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian +11
We review the existing distance estimates to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613, present new radio and near-UV spectra to update the distance constraints, and discuss…
State-dependent signatures of jets and winds in the optical and infrared spectrum of the black hole transient GX 3394
A. Ambrifi, D. Mata Sánchez, T. Muñoz-Darias +14
GX 3394 is one of the prototypical black hole X-ray transients, exhibiting recurrent outbursts that allow detailed studies of black hole accretion and ejection phenomena. In thi…
The Einstein Probe transient EP240414a: Linking Fast X-ray Transients, Gamma-ray Bursts and Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients
Joyce N. D. van Dalen, Andrew J. Levan, Peter G. Jonker +30
Detections of fast X-ray transients (FXTs) have been accrued over the last few decades. However, their origin has remained mysterious. There is now rapid progress thanks to timely…
Hard-state optical wind during the discovery outburst of the black-hole X-ray dipper MAXI J1803-298
D. Mata Sánchez, T. Muñoz-Darias, V. A. Cúneo +6
We present twelve epochs of optical spectroscopy taken across the discovery outburst of the black hole candidate MAXI J1803-298 with the GTC and VLT telescopes. The source followed…
Optical nebular emission following the most luminous outburst of Aquila X-1
G. Panizo-Espinar, T. Muñoz-Darias, M. Armas Padilla +3
Aquila X-1 is a prototypical neutron star low mass X-ray binary and one of the most studied X-ray transients. We present optical spectroscopy obtained with the Gran Telescopio Cana…
