A Model for Emission from Jets in X-ray Binaries: Consequences of a Single Acceleration Episode
Asaf Pe'er, Piergiorgio Casella
There are strong evidence for powerful jets in the low/hard state of black-hole X-ray binaries (BHXRBs). Here, we present a model in which electrons are accelerated once at the bas…
Intermittent accreting millisecond pulsars: light houses with broken lamps?
D. Altamirano, P. Casella
Intermittent accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars are an exciting new type of sources. Their pulsations appear and disappear either on timescales of hundreds of seconds or on timesc…
Broad-band X-ray spectral evolution of GX 339-4 during a state transition
M. Del Santo, T. M. Belloni, J. Homan +8
We report on X-ray and soft gamma-ray observations of the black-hole candidate GX 339-4 during its 2007 outburst, performed with the RXTE and INTEGRAL satellites. The hardness-inte…
A New Class of Radio Pulsars - Back in 1982
M. Ali Alpar
Basic ideas about the torques on the neutron star and the existence of an equilibrium rotation period followed from the recognition that most X-ray binaries contain accretion power…
Weighing the black holes in ultraluminous X-ray sources through timing
P. Casella, G. Ponti, A. Patruno +3
We describe a new method to estimate the mass of black holes in Ultraluminous X-ray Sources (ULXs). The method is based on the recently discovered ``variability plane'', populated…
Multiwavelength observations of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127
Paolo Soleri, Diego Altamirano, Rob Fender +8
We present preliminary results from the analysis of simultaneous multiwavelength observations of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127. The source is still continuing its out…
