The strength of Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations in black hole X-ray binaries correlates with the jet inclination
F. M. Vincentelli, N. Bollemeijer, A. Veledina +10
X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are a characteristic feature of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). These oscillations have been studied for decades and revealed a rich and c…
Covariance spectrum of MAXI J1820+070: On the nature of the Comptonizing flow
Shuai-Kang Yang, Bei You, Niek Bollemeijer +8
We present an analysis of the covariance spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its hard state. For the first time, we extend coherence and covariance studie…
Rapid jet production and suppression during fast state transitions in the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1348630
Francesco Carotenuto, Liang Zhang, Diego Altamirano +3
Black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) launch powerful relativistic jets during bright outburst phases. The properties of these outflows change dramatically between different spectral…
Super-Eddington Accretion through a Multiwavelength Lens: Searching for Counterparts of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
R. Amato, M. Bachetti, R. Soria +8
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent the closest and most accessible laboratories to study sustained super-Eddington accretion onto compact objects. Over the past decade, t…
Accretion and Ejection Physics at High Time Resolution
F. M. Vincentelli, P. Casella, A. Veledina +18
Accretion onto compact objects is one of the most fundamental phenomena in the astrophysics, powering some of the most luminous objects in the sky. Along with this, accretion has a…
Infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Soft State of GX 339-4 and the Mid-Infrared/X-ray Luminosity Plane of Black Hole X-ray Binaries
P. Gandhi, D. M. Russell, M. C. Baglio +33
Progress in understanding the growth of accreting black holes remains hampered by a lack of sensitive coordinated multiwavelength observations. In particular, the mid-infrared (MIR…
