The faint "heartbeats" of IGR J17091-3624: an exceptional black-hole candidate
D. Altamirano, T. Belloni, M. Linares +9
We report on the first 180 days of RXTE observations of the outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624. This source exhibits a broad variety of complex light curve patter…
The complex behaviour of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in the rho class observed with BeppoSAX. II: Time-resolved spectral analysis
T. Mineo, E. Massaro, A. D'Ai +6
BeppoSAX observed GRS 1915+105 on October 2000 with a long pointing lasting about ten days. During this observation, the source was mainly in the rho class characterized by bursts…
A variable mid-infrared synchrotron break associated with the compact jet in GX 339-4
P. Gandhi, A. W. Blain, D. M. Russell +11
Many X-ray binaries remain undetected in the mid-infrared, a regime where emission from their compact jets is likely to dominate. Here, we report the detection of the black hole bi…
A late jet rebrightening revealed from multi-wavelength monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223
D. M. Russell, P. A. Curran, T. Muñoz-Darias +15
We present optical monitoring of the black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 during its 2009 - 2010 outburst and decay to quiescence. The optical light curve can be described by an expo…
The near-infrared counterpart of 4U 1636-53
D. M. Russell, K. O'Brien, T. Muñoz-Darias +3
The optical counterpart of the neutron star X-ray binary and well known X-ray burster, 4U 1636-53 (= 4U 1636-536 = V801 Ara) has been well studied for three decades. However to dat…
Low frequency oscillations in black holes: a spectral-timing approach to the case of GX 339-4
S. Motta, T. Muñoz-Darias, P. Casella +2
We analyzed RXTE/PCA and HEXTE data of the transient black hole binary GX 339-4, col- lected over a time span of eight years. We studied the properties and the behavior of low freq…
