An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
Poshak Gandhi, Matteo Bachetti, Vik S. Dhillon +25
Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leadin…
Paving the way to simultaneous multi-wavelength astronomy
M. J. Middleton, P. Casella, P. Gandhi +49
Whilst astronomy as a science is historically founded on observations at optical wavelengths, studying the Universe in other bands has yielded remarkable discoveries, from pulsars…
Up and Down the Black Hole Radio/X-ray Correlation: the 2017 mini-outbursts from Swift J1753.5-0127
R. M. Plotkin, J. Bright, J. C. A. Miller-Jones +20
The candidate black hole X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127 faded to quiescence in 2016 November, after a prolonged outburst that was discovered in 2005. Nearly three months later the…
Optical Precursors to Black Hole X-ray Binary Outbursts: An evolving synchrotron jet spectrum in Swift J1357.2-0933
David M. Russell, Ahlam Al Qasim, Federico Bernardini +4
We present six years of optical monitoring of the black hole candidate X-ray binary Swift J1357.2-0933, during and since its discovery outburst in 2011. On these long timescales, t…
Broad-band characteristics of seven new hard X-ray selected cataclysmic variables
F. Bernardini, D. de Martino, K. Mukai +5
We present timing and spectral analysis of a sample of seven hard X-ray selected Cataclysmic Variable candidates based on simultaneous X-ray and optical observations collected with…
LMC X-1: A New Spectral Analysis of the O-star in the binary and surrounding nebula
Elaina A. Hyde, David M. Russell, Andreas Ritter +4
We provide new observations of the LMC X-1 O star and its extended nebula structure using spectroscopic data from VLT/UVES as well as H imaging from the Wide Field Imager on the…
