XMM-Newton observation of MACHO 104.20906.960: a dwarf nova candidate with a 2 h period
A. A. Nucita, S. Carpano, F. De Paolis +3
The binaries known as cataclysmic variables are particular binary systems in which the primary star (a white dwarf) accretes material from a secondary via Roche-lobe mechanism. Usu…
Detecting transits from Earth-sized planets around Sun-like stars
S. Carpano, M. Fridlund
Context. Detecting regular dips in the light curve of a star is an easy way to detect the presence of an orbiting planet. COROT is a Franco-European mission launched at the end of…
XMMU J134736.6+173403: an eclipsing LMXB in quiescence or a peculiar AGN?
S. Carpano, B. Altieri, A. R. King +2
Aims. We report the discovery of a peculiar object observed serendipitously with XMM-Newton. We present its timing and spectral properties and investigate its optical counterpart.…
The globular cluster NGC 6388: -Newton and observations
A. A. Nucita, F. De Paolis, G. Ingrosso +2
By studying the optical brightness surface density of the globular cluster NGC 6388, it has been recently proposed that it harbors a central intermediate-mass black hole with mass…
The Orbital Period of the Wolf-Rayet Binary IC 10 X-1; Dynamic Evidence that the Compact Object is a Black Hole
A. H. Prestwich, R. Kilgard, P. A. Crowther +6
IC 10 X-1 is a bright (Lx=10^38 ergs/s) variable X-ray source in the local group starburst galaxy IC 10. The most plausible optical counterpart is a luminous Wolf-Rayet star, makin…
XMM observation of 1RXS J180431.1-273932: a new M-type X-ray binary with a 494 s-pulse period neutron star?
A. A. Nucita, S. Carpano, M. Guainazzi
Low-mass X-ray binaries are binary systems composed of a compact object and a low-mass star. Recently, a new class of these systems, known as symbiotic -ray binaries (with a neu…
