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…
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…
Spectral properties of transitions between soft and hard state in GX 339-4
H. Stiele, S. Motta, T. Muñoz-Darias +1
We present a study of the spectral properties during state transition of GX 339-4. Data are taken from the 2010 outburst of GX 339-4, which is densely covered by Rossi X-ray Timing…
The deep XMM-Newton Survey of M 31
H. Stiele, W. Pietsch, F. Haberl +5
Aims. M 31 has been completely imaged for the first time obtaining a luminosity lower limit ~10^35 erg s-1 in the 0.2-4.5 keV band. Our XMM-Newton EPIC survey combines archival obs…
X-ray spectral and timing investigations of XTE J1752-223
H. Stiele, T. Munoz-Darias, S. Motta +1
We report on X-ray monitoring observations of the transient black hole candidate (BHC) XTE J1752-223 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The source was discovered on 2009…
The black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152: spectral and timing analysis during its 2010 outburst
T. Muñoz-Darias, S. Motta, H. Stiele +1
We present a comprehensive spectral-timing study of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 during its 2010 outburst. We analysed 65 RXTE observations taken along this period and c…
