The critical role of clumping in line-driven disc winds
Amin Mosallanezhad, Christian Knigge, Nicolas Scepi +4
Radiation pressure on spectral lines is a promising mechanism for powering disc winds from accreting white dwarfs (AWDs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). However, in radiation-hyd…
Further evidence for natal kick segregation by spectral type in high-mass X-ray binaries
Pornisara Nuchvanichakul, Poshak Gandhi, Christian Knigge +4
High-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) are systems in which a neutron star or black hole accretes material from a massive companion. HMXBs are expected to have experienced a supernova in…
A Diagnostic Kit for Optical Emission Lines Shaped by Accretion Disc Winds
Austen G. W. Wallis, Christian Knigge, James H. Matthews +2
Blueshifted absorption is the classic spectroscopic signature of an accretion disc wind in X-ray binaries and cataclysmic variables (CVs). However, outflows can also create pure em…
Evolution of the inner accretion flow and the white-dwarf spin pulse during the 2023 outburst in GK Persei
Mariko Kimura, Takayuki Hayashi, Yuuki Wada +8
We present our X-ray and optical observations performed by NICER, NuSTAR, and Tomo-e Gozen during the 2023 outburst in the intermediate polar GK Persei. The X-ray spectrum consiste…
On the distance to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
Benjamin J. Burridge, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian +11
We review the existing distance estimates to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613, present new radio and near-UV spectra to update the distance constraints, and discuss…
Ultraviolet spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 across a state transition
Maria Georganti, Christian Knigge, Noel Castro Segura +8
We present ultraviolet (UV) spectroscopic observations covering three distinct accretion states of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) MAXI J1820+070: the luminous hard state, a hard-…
Characterisation of H spectra from EXO 051910+3737.7 X-rays binaries
Pornisara Nuchvanichakul, Puji Irawati, Pakakaew Rittipruk +4
We investigate the spectral characteristics of the Be/X-ray binary system, EXO 051910+3737.7, in which Be/X-ray systems are the largest sub-class of high-mass X-ray binaries. Spect…
