Clockwise evolution in the hardness-intensity diagram of the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1910.2-0546

Payaswini Saikia, David M. Russell, Saarah F. Pirbhoy +5

We present a detailed study of optical data from the 2012 outburst of the candidate black hole X-ray binary Swift J1910.2-0546 using the Faulkes Telescope and Las Cumbres Observato…

Seven reflares, a mini-outburst and an outburst : High amplitude optical variations in the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1910.2-0546

Payaswini Saikia, David M. Russell, Saarah F. Pirbhoy +5

We present long-term (2012-2022) optical monitoring of the candidate black hole X-ray binary Swift J1910.2-0546 with the Faulkes Telescopes and Las Cumbres Observatory (LCO) networ…

Time-dependent visibility modelling of a relativistic jet in the X-ray binary MAXI J1803-298

C. M. Wood, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, A. Bahramian +17

Tracking the motions of transient jets launched by low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) is critical for determining the moment of jet ejection, and identifying any corresponding signatu…

On the infrared coincidence: what is the jet contribution to the X-ray power law in GX 339-4?

David M. Russell

The hard X-ray power law, prominent in the hard state in black hole X-ray binaries, is generally due to thermal Comptonization in the corona. Optically thin synchrotron emission fr…

The origin of UV/optical emission in the black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127

Pengcheng Yang, Guobao Zhang, David M. Russell +4

The emission from the accreting black holes (BHs) in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) covers a broad energy band from radio to X-rays. Studying the correlations between emission in…

A misfired outburst in the neutron star X-ray binary Centaurus X-4

M. C. Baglio, P. Saikia, D. M. Russell +12

We report on a long-term optical monitoring of the neutron star X-ray binary Centaurus X-4 performed during the last 13.5 years. This source has been in quiescence since its outbur…
