Echoes in X-ray Binaries

K. O'Brien, K. Horne, R. Hynes +3

We present a method of analysing the correlated X-ray and optical/UV variability in X-ray binaries, using the observed time delays between the X-ray driving lightcurves and their r…

Emission line oscillations in the dwarf nova V2051 Ophiuchi

D. Steeghs, K. O'Brien, K. Horne +2

We have detected coherent oscillations, at multiple frequencies, in the line and continuum emission of the eclipsing dwarf nova V2051 Ophiuchi using the 10m Keck II telescope. Our…
