Kink instability as a particle acceleration mechanism in X-ray binaries and the connection to the outburst cycle

Emma L. Elley, James H. Matthews, Alex J. Cooper +2

We consider whether the kink instability can explain particle acceleration in hard state 'compact' X-ray binary jets. We apply a 1D model to assess the expected growth rate of the…

Radio flares and X-ray hardening embedded in the long soft state of 4U 1543-475

Zuobin Zhang, Rob Fender, Jiachen Jiang +14

We present a comprehensive multi-wavelength study of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1543-475 during its 2021 outburst, focusing on radio flaring episodes that are commonly interpre…

Multi-wavelength Constraints on the Transient EP250905a

J. Quirola-Vasquez, P. G. Jonker, A. Levan +30

Fast X-ray transients (FXTs) are a diverse class of high-energy suggested origins, ranging from stellar explosions to compact object mergers. The Einstein Probe (EP) satellite disc…

Extreme particle acceleration in X-ray binaries is linked to their jets

Laura Olivera-Nieto, Fraser J. Cowie, Sera Markoff +2

The detection of multi-TeV radiation from a handful of black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) has positioned the source class as promising candidate to explain the cosmic-ray flux in t…

Spectropolarimetric detection of baryonic mass loading in a transient relativistic jet: application to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613

A. K. Hughes, R. P. Fender, G. R. Sivakoff +10

Radio emission during X-ray binary outbursts is dominated by synchrotron radiation from relativistic jets, but is usually studied through total-intensity diagnostics such as flux d…

Observational Biases and Improved Modelling of Off-axis Relativistic Jets

A. J. Cooper, A. P. Scott, L. Rhodes +8

Relativistic Doppler boosting significantly affects the observed emission of astrophysical jets resulting in observational biases. In this work we investigate the observational bia…
