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-…
21 years of Astronomy at Warwick: celebrating the legacy of Prof. Tom Marsh
Ingrid Pelisoli, Boris Gänsicke, Keith Horne +7
Between the 4th and 6th of September 2024, the Astronomy & Astrophysics group at the University of Warwick held a meeting to celebrate 21 years of astronomy at Warwick and the scie…
State-dependent signatures of jets and winds in the optical and infrared spectrum of the black hole transient GX 3394
A. Ambrifi, D. Mata Sánchez, T. Muñoz-Darias +14
GX 3394 is one of the prototypical black hole X-ray transients, exhibiting recurrent outbursts that allow detailed studies of black hole accretion and ejection phenomena. In thi…
An arcsecond view at 1-2 GHz into the Galactic Bulge
E. C. Pattie, T. J. Maccarone, C. T. Britt +8
We present the results of a high angular resolution (1.1") and sensitivity (maximum of ~0.1 mJy) radio survey at 1-2 GHz in the Galactic Bulge. This complements the X-ray Chandra G…
Delimiting the black hole mass in the X-ray transient MAXI J1659-152 with H spectroscopy
M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker, J. Casares +2
MAXI J1659-152 is a 2.4 h orbital period X-ray dipping transient black hole candidate. We present spectroscopy of its quiescent counterpart where we detect H emissi…
An ultra-massive white dwarf with a mixed hydrogen-carbon atmosphere as a likely merger remnant
Mark A. Hollands, Pier-Emmanuel Tremblay, Boris T. Gänsicke +11
White dwarfs are dense, cooling stellar embers consisting mostly of carbon and oxygen, or oxygen and neon (with a few percent carbon) at higher initial stellar masses. These stella…
