4U 1210-64: a new member of the rare intermediate-mass X-ray binary subclass
Itumeleng M. Monageng, Vanessa A. McBride, Julia Alfonso-Garzon +5
4U 1210-64 is a peculiar X-ray binary that was first discovered in 1978 by the Uhuru satellite. The analysis of the X-ray data revealed a 6.7-day orbital period and an additional l…
Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRAL and Future Directions
Peter Kretschmar, Felix Fürst, Lara Sidoli +48
High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology,…
An X-ray and optical study of the outbursting behaviour of the SMC Be X-ray binary SXP 91.1
Itumeleng Monageng, Malcolm Coe, Jamie Kennea +6
In this paper we report on the optical and X-ray behaviour of the Be X-ray binary, SXP 91.1, during a recent type I outburst. We monitored the outburst using the Neil Gehrels Swift…
The SMC X-ray binary SXP4.78 : a new Type II outburst and the identification and study of the optical counterpart
Itumeleng Monageng, Malcolm Coe, Lee Townsend +6
SXP4.78 was originally discovered in 2000 as a pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) but it was not spatially located at that time. A…
The nature of fifty Palermo Swift-BAT hard X-ray objects through optical spectroscopy
A. F. Rojas, N. Masetti, D. Minniti +16
We present the nature of 50 hard X-ray emitting objects unveiled through an optical spectroscopy campaign performed at seven telescopes in the northern and southern hemispheres. Th…
Spectral variation in the supergiant fast X-ray transient SAX J1818.6-1703 observed by XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL
C. M. Boon, A. J. Bird, A. B. Hill +6
We present the results of a 30ks XMM-Newton observation of the supergiant fast X-ray transient (SFXT) SAX J1818.6-1703 - the first in-depth soft X-ray study of this source around p…
