Resolved, expanding jets in the Galactic black hole candidate XTE J1908+094

A. P. Rushton, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, P. A. Curran +15

Black hole X-ray binaries undergo occasional outbursts caused by changing inner accretion flows. Here we report high-angular resolution radio observations of the 2013 outburst of t…

A connection between plasma conditions near black hole event horizons and outflow properties

K. I. I. Koljonen, D. M. Russell, J. A. Fernández Ontiveros +9

Accreting black holes are responsible for producing the fastest, most powerful outflows of matter in the Universe. The formation process of powerful jets close to black holes is po…

Radio polarimetry as a probe of unresolved jets: the 2013 outburst of XTE J1908+094

P. A. Curran, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, A. P. Rushton +21

XTE J1908+094 is an X-ray transient black hole candidate in the Galactic plane that was observed in outburst in 2002 and 2013. Here we present multi-frequency radio and X-ray data,…

The Reflares and Outburst Evolution in the Accreting Millisecond Pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658: a Disk Truncated Near Co-rotation?

A. Patruno, D. Maitra, P. A. Curran +5

The accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar SAX J1808.4--3658 shows peculiar low luminosity states known as "reflares" after the end of the main outburst. During this phase the X-ray lu…

Radio monitoring of the hard state jets in the 2011 outburst of MAXI J1836-194

T. D. Russell, J. C. A. Miller-Jones, P. A. Curran +25

MAXI J1836-194 is a Galactic black hole candidate X-ray binary that was discovered in 2011 when it went into outburst. In this paper, we present the full radio monitoring of this s…

Monte Carlo error analyses of Spearman's rank test

P. A. Curran

Spearman's rank correlation test is commonly used in astronomy to discern whether a set of two variables are correlated or not. Unlike most other quantities quoted in astronomical…
