The faint "heartbeats" of IGR J17091-3624: an exceptional black-hole candidate
D. Altamirano, T. Belloni, M. Linares +9
We report on the first 180 days of RXTE observations of the outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624. This source exhibits a broad variety of complex light curve patter…
Observations of particle acceleration in the blast waves of Gamma-ray Bursts
P. A. Curran
The electron energy distribution index, p, is a fundamental parameter of the process by which electrons at shock fronts are accelerated to relativistic speeds and by which they rad…
IGR J17448-3232 point source: A blazar candidate viewed through the Galactic centre?
P. A. Curran, S. Chaty, J. A. Zurita Heras +2
The error region of the INTEGRAL source, IGR J17448-3232, contains an X-ray point source at the edge of a ~3' radius extended X-ray source. It has been suggested that the extended…
A late jet rebrightening revealed from multi-wavelength monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223
D. M. Russell, P. A. Curran, T. Muñoz-Darias +15
We present optical monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during its 2009 - 2010 outburst and decay to quiescence. The optical light curve can be described by an expo…
A search for near infrared counterparts of 3 pulsar wind nebulae
P. A. Curran, S. Chaty, J. A. Zurita Heras +1
While pulsar wind nebulae (PWNe) and their associated isolated pulsars are commonly detected at X-ray energies, they are much rarer at near infrared (nIR) and optical wavelengths.…
Discovery and identification of infrared counterpart candidates of four Galactic centre low mass X-ray binaries
P. A. Curran, S. Chaty, J. A. Zurita Heras
The near infrared (nIR)/optical counterparts of low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are often observationally dim and reside in high source density fields which make their identificati…
