Multiwavelength Analysis of the Einstein Probe X-ray Transient EP240305a
Ruican Ma, Ye Li, Lian Tao +32
We report multiwavelength observations of EP240305a, an uncatalogued X-ray transient detected by the Einstein Probe on March 5, 2024. The source exhibits distinct characteristics a…
Monitoring Observations of SMC X-1's Excursions (MOOSE) III: X-ray Spectroscopy of a Warped, Precessing Accretion Disc
Rawan Karam, Kristen C. Dage, Bailey E. Tetarenko +11
The MOOSE (Monitoring Observations of SMC X-1 Excursions) program uses the Neutron Star Interior Composition Explorer Mission (NICER) to monitor the high mass X-ray binary SMC X-1…
Rapid Mid-Infrared Spectral-Timing with JWST. I. The prototypical black hole X-ray Binary GRS 1915+105 during a MIR-bright and X-ray-obscured state
P. Gandhi, E. S. Borowski, J. Byrom +44
We present mid-infrared (MIR) spectral-timing measurements of the prototypical Galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105. The source was observed with the Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) on…
The orbital period, black hole mass and distance to the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 (=N Oph 93)
J. Casares, I. V. Yanes-Rizo, M. A. P. Torres +7
We present evidence for a 0.278(8) d (=6.7 h) orbital period in the X-ray transient GRS 1716-249 (=N Oph 93), based on a superhump modulation detected during the 1995 mini-outburst…
An empirical connection between line-emitting regions and X-rays heating the accretion disc in BH-LMXB MAXI J1820070
B. E. Tetarenko, A. W. Shaw, P. A. Charles
The recurring transient outbursts in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) provide ideal laboratories to study the accretion process. Unlike their supermassive relatives, LMXBs are far t…
Shedding far-ultraviolet light on the donor star and evolutionary state of the neutron-star LMXB Swift J1858.6-0814
N. Castro Segura, C. Knigge, J. H. Matthews +13
The evolution of accreting X-ray binary systems is closely coupled to the properties of their donor stars. As a result, we can constrain the evolutionary track a system is by estab…
Swift observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion
S. E. Motta, J. J. E. Kajava, C. Sánchez-Fernández +11
The black-hole binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in June 2015 after 26 years of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution pattern typical of mo…
The optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26
T. Muñoz-Darias, A. de Ugarte Postigo, D. M. Russell +13
We present a 30-day monitoring campaign of the optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, starting only 19 minutes after the discovery of the source. We obse…
Characterizing X-ray binary long-term variability
M. M. Kotze, P. A. Charles
Long-term ("superorbital") periods or modulations have been detected in a wide variety of both low and high-mass X-ray binaries at X-ray and optical wavelengths. A variety of mecha…
Very long-term X-ray variations in LMXBs: solar cycle-like variations in the donor?
M. M. Kotze, P. A. Charles
Long-term monitoring of Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) by the All Sky Monitor on board the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer now covers ~13 yrs and shows that certain LMXB types display…
