A shared accretion instability for black holes and neutron stars
F. M. Vincentelli, J. Neilsen, A. J. Tetarenko +20
Accretion disks around compact objects are expected to enter an unstable phase at high luminosity. One instability may occur when the radiation pressure generated by accretion modi…
Black hole mass and spin measurements through the Relativistic Precession Model: XTE J1859+226
S. E Motta, T. Belloni, L. Stella +5
The X-ray light curves of accreting black holes and neutron stars in binary systems show various types of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs), the origin of which is still debated.…
Swift and SALT observations of the Multiple Outbursts of MAXI J1957+032
D. Mata Sánchez, P. A. Charles, M. Armas Padilla +4
The new recurrent X-ray transient MAXI J1957+032 has had four X-ray outbursts within 16 months, all very briefly detected (lasting <5 days). During the most recent event (Sep/Oct 2…
Suzaku spectroscopy of the neutron star transient 4U 1608-52 during its outburst decay
M. Armas Padilla, Y. Ueda, T. Hori +2
We test the proposed 3-component spectral model for neutron star low mass X-ray binaries using broad-band X-ray data. We have analysed 4 X-ray spectra (0.8-30 keV) obtained with Su…
Flares, wind and nebulae: the 2015 December mini-outburst of V404 Cygni
T. Muñoz-Darias, J. Casares, D. Mata Sánchez +22
After more than 26 years in quiescence, the black hole transient V404 Cyg went into a luminous outburst in June 2015, and additional activity was detected in late December of the s…
Furiously Fast and Red: Sub-second Optical Flaring in V404 Cyg during the 2015 Outburst Peak
P. Gandhi, S. P. Littlefair, L. K. Hardy +25
We present observations of rapid (sub-second) optical flux variability in V404 Cyg during its 2015 June outburst. Simultaneous three-band observations with the ULTRACAM fast imager…
