Multi-Wavelength Coverage of State Transitions in the New Black Hole X-Ray Binary Swift J1910.2-0546
N. Degenaar, D. Maitra, E. M. Cackett +11
Understanding how black holes accrete and supply feedback to their environment is one of the outstanding challenges of modern astrophysics. Swift J1910.2-0546 is a candidate black…
An Optical-Near-Infrared Outburst with No Accompanying Gamma-Rays in the Blazar PKS 0208-512
Ritaban Chatterjee, G. Fossati, C. M. Urry +6
We report the discovery of an anomalous flare in a bright blazar, namely, PKS 0208-512, one of the targets of the Yale/SMARTS optical-near-infrared (OIR) monitoring program of Ferm…
The "universal" radio/X-ray flux correlation : the case study of the black hole GX 339-4
S. Corbel, M. Coriat, C. Brocksopp +5
The existing radio and X-ray flux correlation for Galactic black holes in the hard and quiescent states relies on a sample which is mostly dominated by two sources (GX 339-4 and V4…
Discovery of a Second Transient Low-Mass X-ray Binary in the Globular Cluster NGC 6440
C. O. Heinke, D. Altamirano, H. N. Cohn +11
We have identified a new transient luminous low-mass X-ray binary, NGC 6440 X-2, with Chandra/ACIS, RXTE/PCA, and Swift/XRT observations of the globular cluster NGC 6440. The disco…
HST/ACS Imaging of Omega Centauri: Optical Counterpart for the Quiescent Low-Mass X-Ray Binary
D. Haggard, A. M. Cool, J. Anderson +5
We report the discovery of an optical counterpart to a quiescent neutron star in the globular cluster Omega Centauri (NGC 5139). The star was found as part of our wide-field imagin…
A Large Area CCD Camera for the Schmidt Telescope at the Venezuelan National Astronomical Observatory
C. Baltay, J. A. Snyder, P. Andrews +25
We have designed, constructed and put into operation a large area CCD camera that covers a large fraction of the image plane of the 1 meter Schmidt telescope at Llano del Hato in V…
