Optical outburst evolution of the transient black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613: Disc response to jet ejections and late-outburst emergence of powerful disc winds

N. Castro Segura, K. Solomons, J. M. Corral-Santana +22

Swift J1727.81613 is a newly discovered transient low-mass X-ray binary harbouring a stellar-mass () black hole. We present state-resolved VLT/X-Shooter optical…

Disc Winds From Accreting Systems in the 2040s

Noel Castro Segura, Virginia Cúneo, Francesco Tombesi +9

What does the temporal evolution of disc winds tell us about accreting systems and the accretion process? Studies of accretion-disc outflows across all mass scales, including accre…

Aql X-1 from dawn 'til dusk: the early rise, fast state transition and decay of its 2024 outburst

A. Marino, F. Coti Zelati, K. Alabarta +36

Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) are usually first detected by all-sky X-ray monitors when they enter new outbursts, typically at X-ray luminosities above 10…

Analysis of optical spectroscopy and photometry of the type I X-ray bursting system UW CrB

M. R. Kennedy, P. Callanan, P. M. Garnavich +19

UW Coronae Borealis (UW CrB) is a low mass X-ray binary that shows both Type 1 X-ray and optical bursts, which typically last for 20 s. The system has a binary period of close to 2…

Shedding far-ultraviolet light on the donor star and evolutionary state of the neutron-star LMXB Swift J1858.6-0814

N. Castro Segura, C. Knigge, J. H. Matthews +13

The evolution of accreting X-ray binary systems is closely coupled to the properties of their donor stars. As a result, we can constrain the evolutionary track a system is by estab…

A new method for short duration transient detection in radio images: Searching for transient sources in MeerKAT data of NGC 5068

S. Fijma, A. Rowlinson, R. A. M. J. Wijers +12

Transient surveys are a vital tool in exploring the dynamic universe, with radio transients acting as beacons for explosive and highly energetic astrophysical phenomena. However, p…

A transient ultraviolet outflow in the short-period X-ray binary UW CrB

S. Fijma, N. Castro Segura, N. Degenaar +4

Accreting low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are capable of launching powerful outflows such as accretion disc winds. In disc winds, vast amounts of material can be carried away, pote…

Evaluating the jet/accretion coupling of Aql X-1: probing the contribution of accretion flow spectral components

S. Fijma, J. van den Eijnden, N. Degenaar +2

The coupling between radio and X-ray luminosity is an important diagnostic tool to study the connection between the accretion inflow and jet outflow for low-mass X-ray binaries (LM…

Search and identification of transient and variable radio sources using MeerKAT observations: a case study on the MAXI J1820+070 field

A. Rowlinson, J. Meijn, J. Bright +11

Many transient and variable sources detected at multiple wavelengths are also observed to vary at radio frequencies. However, these samples are typically biased towards sources tha…
