A multi-wavelength study of the 2025 low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi
A. W. Shaw, K. Mukai, C. O. Heinke +18
We present multi-wavelength observations of the first recorded low state of the intermediate polar BG CMi. Optical monitoring of the source by members of the American Association o…
Radio Continuum Studies of Ultra-Compact and Short Orbital Period X-Ray Binaries
Kristen C. Dage, Teresa Panurach, Kwangmin Oh +14
We present the radio continuum counterparts to the enigmatic ultra-compact X-ray binaries (UCXBs); a black hole or neutron star accreting from a hydrogen-deficient white dwarf dono…
The Mid-infrared Emitting Jet in the Black Hole V404 Cygni in Quiescence
E. S. Borowski, R. I. Hynes, Q. Hunt +13
Observations of some quiescent black hole X-ray binaries have revealed an excess of mid-infrared (MIR) emission above that expected from their donor stars. In one system, V404 Cygn…
The peculiar hard state behaviour of the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
A. K. Hughes, F. Carotenuto, T. D. Russell +37
Tracking the correlation between radio and X-ray luminosities during black hole X-ray binary outbursts is a key diagnostic of the coupling between accretion inflows (traced by X-ra…
Calibrating the clock of JWST
A. W. Shaw, D. L. Kaplan, P. Gandhi +19
JWST, despite not being designed to observe astrophysical phenomena that vary on rapid time scales, can be an unparalleled tool for such studies. If timing systematics can be contr…
The nature of very-faint X-ray binaries: Near-infrared spectroscopy of 1RXH J173523.7354013 reveals a giant companion
A. W. Shaw, N. Degenaar, T. J. Maccarone +3
Very-faint X-ray binaries (VFXBs) are a sub-class of black holes and neutron stars in binaries that appear to be accreting at a very low rate. In addition to providing interesting…
