A possible high-redshift origin for the short GRB 061201: implications of a compact binary merger beyond cosmic noon
E. Troja, B. O'Connor, Y. -H. Yang +4
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z>2 remain exceptionally rare, yet they are crucial for tracing compact binary mergers in the early Universe and understanding their role…
Pre-nova Observations of T CrB: A view from the CHARA Array
Ryan Norris, Narsireddy Anugu, Thomas Gaudin +38
T CrB is a symbiotic recurrent nova consisting of a red giant and white dwarf with recent eruptions in 1866 and 1946 and an anticipated eruption in the mid 2020s. We report CHARA A…
SXP 31.0 -- the 2025 near-Eddington double X-ray outburst after 26 years of quiescence
Malcolm J. Coe, Thomas M. Gaudin, Itumeleng M. Monageng +5
SXP 31.0 is an X-ray source in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that was first identified as a Be X-ray Binary (BeXRB) system when it went into X-ray outbusrst in 1998. It is now k…
Identification of New Candidate Be/X-Ray Binary Systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud via Analysis of S-CUBED Source Catalog
Thomas M. Gaudin, Jamie A. Kennea, Malcolm J. Coe +1
It has long been known that a large population of Be/X-ray Binaries (BeXRBs) exists in the Milky Way's neighboring dwarf galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), due to a recent p…
