X-ray binaries are excellent laboratories to study the coupling between accretion and ejection phenomena around compact objects through multiwavelength observations. Swift J1753.5-…
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…

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…
Towards improved synchrotron self absorption energy estimates: accounting for inhomogeneous and non-spherical emitting regions
F. J. Cowie, R. P. Fender
Synchrotron self absorption (SSA) is seen across a variety of astrophysical sources, and observation of an SSA peak in the spectrum is a powerful tool for estimating the physical c…

L. Cotter, A. Martin-Carrillo, R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris +62
With the advent of the Einstein Probe (EP) mission, we are entering a new era in the study of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), enabling the detection of faint, low-luminosity transients th…
The Homogeneous MeerKAT and Swift/XRT X-ray Binary Radio:X-ray Plane
Justine Crook-Mansour, Rob Fender, Andrew Hughes +22
During the hard and quiescent spectral states in X-ray binaries, a non-linear correlation is observed between radio and X-ray luminosities, providing a valuable tool to probe the c…
