Significant or Not? The Impact of Randomisation During Data Reduction on Confirming a New Pulsating Ultraluminous X-ray Source Candidate in Centaurus A
Amy H. Knight, Timothy P. Roberts, Callum Potter +2
We report the discovery of a new candidate pulsating ultraluminous X-ray source (PULX) in NGC 5128 (Centaurus A). The candidate, 4XMM J132542.2-425943, is a transient source, ident…
Type I X-ray Burst Emission Reflected into the Eclipses of EXO 0748-676
Amy H. Knight, Jakob van den Eijnden, Adam Ingram +8
The neutron star X-ray binary, EXO 0748--676, was observed regularly by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and XMM-Newton during its first detected outburst (1985 - 2008). Thes…
Long term optical variations in Swift J1858.6-0814: evidence for ablation and comparisons to radio properties
L. Rhodes, D. M. Russell, P. Saikia +5
We present optical monitoring of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 during its 2018-2020 outburst and subsequent quiescence. We find that there was strong op…
Simultaneous Optical and X-ray Detection of a Thermonuclear Burst in the 2024 Outburst of EXO 0748-676
Amy H. Knight, Lauren Rhodes, Douglas J. K. Buisson +5
The neutron star low-mass X-ray binary, EXO 0748--676, recently returned to outburst after a 16 year-long quiescence. Since its return, there has been a global effort to cap…
