INTEGRAL and XMM-Newton Spectroscopy of GX 339-4 During Hard/Soft Intermediate and High/Soft States in the 2007 Outburst
M. D. Caballero-Garcia, J. M. Miller, M. Diaz Trigo +5
We present simultaneous XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL observations of the luminous black hole transient and relativistic jet source GX 339-4. GX 339-4 started an outburst on November of…
An Overview of the Bowen Survey; detecting donor star signatures in Low Mass X-ray Binaries
Remon Cornelisse, Jorge Casares, Teo Munoz-Darias +4
In this paper we give a review of the Bowen fluorescence survey, showing that narrow emission lines (mainly NIII and CIII lines between 4630 and 4660 A) appear to be universally pr…
On the mass of the neutron star in V395 Car/2S 0921-630
D. Steeghs, P. G. Jonker
We report high-resolution optical spectroscopy of the low-mass X-ray binary V395 Car/2S 0921-630 obtained with the MIKE echelle spectrograph on the Magellan-Clay telescope. Our spe…
Dynamical constraints on the component masses of the cataclysmic variable WZ Sge
D. Steeghs, S. Howell, C. Knigge +3
We present phase-resolved spectroscopy of the short period cataclysmic variable WZ Sge obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. We were able to resolve the orbital motion of a num…
HST/FGS Parallaxes of AM CVn Stars and Astrophysical Consequences
G. H. A. Roelofs, P. J. Groot, G. F. Benedict +5
We present absolute parallaxes and relative proper motions for five AM CVn stars, which we obtained using the Fine Guidance Sensors on board the Hubble Space Telescope. Our paralla…
The 2003 Outburst of the X-ray Transient H 1743-322: Comparisons with the Black Hole Microquasar XTE J1550-564
Jeffrey E. McClintock, Ronald A. Remillard, Michael P. Rupen +4
The bright X-ray transient H 1743-322 was observed daily by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during most of its 8-month outburst in 2003. We present a detailed spectral analy…
Observations of the 599 Hz Accreting X-ray Pulsar IGR J00291+5934 during the 2004 Outburst and in Quiescence
M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker, D. Steeghs +10
We report on optical and NIR observations obtained during and after the 2004 December discovery outburst of the X-ray transient and accretion-powered millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+…
Multiwavelength Observations of EXO 0748--676 -- II. Emission Line Behavior
K. J. Pearson, R. I. Hynes, D. Steeghs +6
We present optical and ultraviolet spectra, lightcurves, and Doppler tomograms of the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676. Using an extensive set of 15 emission line tomograms, we s…
The Distance and Interstellar Sight Line to GX339-4
R. I. Hynes, D. Steeghs, J. Casares +2
The distance to the black hole binary GX339-4 remains a topic of debate. We examine high-resolution optical spectra of the NaD lines resolving the velocity structure along the line…
Spiral shock detection on eclipse maps: Simulations and Observations
E. T. Harlaftis, R. Baptista, L. Morales-Rueda +2
We perform simulations in order to reveal the effect of observational and physical parameters on the reconstruction of a spiral structure in an accretion disk, using eclipse mappin…
Mass Transfer between Double White Dwarfs
T. R. Marsh, G. Nelemans, D. Steeghs
Three periodically variable stars have recently been discovered (V407 Vul, P=9.5 min; ES Cet, P=10.3 min; RX J0806.3+1527, P=5.3 min) with properties that suggest that their photom…
