Dynamical confirmation of a stellar-mass black hole in the transient X-ray dipping binary MAXI J1305-704
D. Mata Sánchez, A. Rau, A. Álvarez Hernández +3
MAXI J1305-704 has been proposed as a high-inclination candidate black hole X-ray binary in view of its X-ray properties and dipping behaviour during outburst. We present photometr…
The observed mass distribution of Galactic black hole LMXBs is biased against massive black holes
Peter G. Jonker, Karamveer Kaur, Nicholas Stone +1
The discovery of gravitational wave radiation from merging black holes (BHs) also uncovered BHs with masses in the range of ~20-160 Msun. In contrast, the most massive Galactic ste…
Dynamical Modeling of CXOGBS J175553.2-281633: A 10 Hour Long Orbital Period Cataclysmic Variable
Sebastian Gomez, Manuel A. P. Torres, Peter G. Jonker +8
We present modeling of the long-term optical light curve and radial velocity curve of the binary stellar system CXOGBS J175553.2-281633, first detected in X-rays in the \textit{Cha…
NIR Counterparts to ULXs (III): Completing the photometric survey and selected spectroscopic results
K. M. López, M. Heida, P. G. Jonker +5
We present results from the remaining sources in our search for near-infrared (NIR) candidate counterparts to ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) within 10 Mpc. We observed…
Potential Kick Velocity distribution of black hole X-ray binaries and implications for natal kicks
P. Atri, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, A. Bahramian +14
We use Very Long Baseline Interferometry to measure the proper motions of three black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs). Using these results together with data from the literature and Ga…
Discovery and analysis of a ULX nebula in NGC 3521
K. M. López, P. G. Jonker, M. Heida +5
We present Very Large Telescope/X-shooter and Chandra X-ray observatory/ACIS observations of the ULX [SST2011] J110545.62+000016.2 in the galaxy NGC 3521. The source identified as…
