An infrared FWHM- correlation to uncover highly reddened quiescent black holes

V. A. Cúneo, J. Casares, M. Armas Padilla +7

Among the sample of Galactic transient X-ray binaries (SXTs) discovered to date, about 70 have been proposed as likely candidates to host a black hole. Yet, only 19 have been dynam…

H spectroscopy of the high-inclination black hole transient Swift J1357.2-0933 during quiescence

A. Anitra, D. Mata Sanchez, T. Munoz-Darias +6

Swift J1357.2-0933 is a transient low-mass X-ray binary hosting a stellar-mass black hole. The source exhibits optical dips and very broad emission lines during both outburst and q…

Unveiling optical signatures of outflows in accreting white dwarfs

V. A. Cúneo, T. Muñoz-Darias, F. Jiménez-Ibarra +8

Accreting white dwarfs are known to show signatures of wind-type outflows in the ultraviolet. At optical wavelengths, however, wind detections have only been reported for a few sou…

The orbital period, black hole mass and distance to the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 (=N Oph 93)

J. Casares, I. V. Yanes-Rizo, M. A. P. Torres +7

We present evidence for a 0.278(8) d (=6.7 h) orbital period in the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 (=N Oph 93), based on a superhump modulation detected during the 1995 mini-outburst…

Sub-second infrared variability from the archetypal accreting neutron star 4U~1728-34

F. M. Vincentelli, P. Casella, A. Borghese +23

We report on the first simultaneous high-time resolution X-ray and infrared (IR) observations of a neutron star low mass X-ray binary in its hard state. We performed h…

UltraCompCAT: a comprehensive Catalogue of Ultra-Compact and Short Orbital Period X-ray Binaries

M. Armas Padilla, J. M. Corral-Santana, A. Borghese +4

Ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs) are a distinctive but elusive family of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) characterised by their tight orbits and degenerate donor stars. Here we…
