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+…
