A Real-Time Jet Laboratory in Swift J1727.8-1613
Callan M. Wood, James C. A. Miller-Jones, Arash Bahramian +16
We present the results of our intensive VLBI campaign on the black-hole low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) Swift J1727.8-1613 during its 2023-2024 outburst. We observed the repeated quen…
Spectropolarimetric detection of baryonic mass loading in a transient relativistic jet: application to the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
A. K. Hughes, R. P. Fender, G. R. Sivakoff +10
Radio emission during X-ray binary outbursts is dominated by synchrotron radiation from relativistic jets, but is usually studied through total-intensity diagnostics such as flux d…
Optical outburst evolution of the transient black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.8-1613: Disc response to jet ejections and late-outburst emergence of powerful disc winds
N. Castro Segura, K. Solomons, J. M. Corral-Santana +22
Swift J1727.81613 is a newly discovered transient low-mass X-ray binary harbouring a stellar-mass () black hole. We present state-resolved VLT/X-Shooter optical…
The First X-Ray Polarimetry of an Eclipsing Low-Mass X-Ray Binary: Serendipitous IXPE Observation of AX J1745.6-2901
Romana Mikušincová, Lorenzo Marra, Hemanth Manikantan +38
We present the first X-ray polarimetric measurement of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary system AX J1745.6-2901 conducted by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) sate…
Constraining the Jet Energetics of the Transient X-ray Binaries MAXI J1348-630 and MAXI J1820+070 through Calorimetry
Pau Bosch-Cabot, Alexandra J. Tetarenko, Erik Rosolowsky +6
We present Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array (ALMA) observations aimed at identifying potential jet-ISM interaction sites in the vicinity of the transient black hole X-r…
Recovery of the X-ray polarisation of Swift J1727.81613 after the soft-to-hard spectral transition
J. Podgorný, J. Svoboda, M. DovÄiak +34
We report on the detection of X-ray polarisation in the black-hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613 during its dim hard spectral state by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (I…
