Time-resolved X-Shooter spectra and RXTE light curves of the ultra-compact X-ray binary candidate 4U 0614+091

O. K. Madej, P. G. Jonker, P. J. Groot +3

In this paper we present X-Shooter time resolved spectroscopy and RXTE PCA light curves of the ultra-compact X-ray binary candidate 4U 0614+091. The X-Shooter data are compared to…

The nature of the bright ULX X-2 in NGC3921: a Chandra position and HST candidate counterpart

P. G. Jonker, M. Heida, M. A. P. Torres +6

We report on Chandra observations of the bright ultra-luminous X-ray (ULX) source in NGC3921. Previous XMM observations reported in the literature show the presence of a bright ULX…

The black hole candidate MAXIJ1659-152 in and towards quiescence in X-ray and radio

Peter G. Jonker, James C. A. Miller-Jones, J. Homan +5

In this paper we report on Expanded Very Large Array radio and Chandra and Swift X-ray observations of the outburst decay of the transient black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 in 20…

The black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 towards and in quiescence: optical and simultaneous X-ray - radio observations

E. M. Ratti, P. G. Jonker, J. C. A. Miller-Jones +10

We present optical, X-ray and radio observations of the black hole transient (BHT) XTE J1752-223 towards and in quiescence. Optical photometry shows that the quiescent magnitude of…
