A search for optical counterparts in quiescent black hole X-ray transients
I. V. Yanes-Rizo, J. Casares, M. A. P. Torres +7
Dynamical mass measurements of compact stars in X-ray transients demand the detection of optical/near infrared counterparts in quiescence. Out of the 73 black-hole candidates in X-…
Ubiquitous yet forgotten: broad absorptions in the optical spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries
D. Mata Sanchez, T. Munoz-Darias, J. Casares +2
Optical outburst spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries enable studies of extreme accretion and ejection phenomena. While some of their spectroscopic features have been analysed in det…
Characterising the short-orbital period X-ray transient Swift J1910.2-0546
J. M. Corral-Santana, P. Rodriguez-Gil, M. A. P. Torres +13
SwiftJ1910.2-0546 is a Galactic X-ray transient discovered during a bright outburst in 2012. We use time-series optical photometry and spectroscopy to estimate the orbital period,…
A Halpha metric for identifying dormant black holes in X-ray transients
J. Casares, M. A. P. Torres, S. Navarro Umpiérrez
Dormant black holes (BHs) in X-ray transients can be identified by the presence of broad Ha emission lines from quiescent accretion discs. Unfortunately, short-period cataclysmic v…
