A possible high-redshift origin for the short GRB 061201: implications of a compact binary merger beyond cosmic noon
E. Troja, B. O'Connor, Y. -H. Yang +4
Short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at redshift z>2 remain exceptionally rare, yet they are crucial for tracing compact binary mergers in the early Universe and understanding their role…
Identification of New Candidate Be/X-Ray Binary Systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud via Analysis of S-CUBED Source Catalog
Thomas M. Gaudin, Jamie A. Kennea, Malcolm J. Coe +1
It has long been known that a large population of Be/X-ray Binaries (BeXRBs) exists in the Milky Way's neighboring dwarf galaxy, the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), due to a recent p…
CXOU J005245.0-722844: Discovery of a Be Star / White Dwarf binary system in the SMC via a very fast, super-Eddington X-ray outburst event
Thomas M. Gaudin, Malcolm J. Coe, Jamie A. Kennea +4
CXOU J005245.0-722844 is an X-ray source in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) that has long been known as a Be/X-ray binary (BeXRB) star, containing an OBe main sequence star and a…
Discovery of a Rare Eclipsing Be/X-ray Binary System, Swift J010902.6-723710 = SXP 182
Thomas M. Gaudin, Jamie A. Kennea, Malcolm J. Coe +5
We report on the discovery of Swift J010902.6-723710, a rare eclipsing Be/X-ray Binary system by the Swift SMC Survey (S-CUBED). Swift J010902.6-723710 was discovered via weekly S-…
