Dynamical Evidence for a Black Hole in the Microquasar XTE J1550-564

Jerome A. Orosz, Paul J. Groot, Michiel van der Klis +6

Optical spectroscopic observations of the companion star (type G8IV to K4III) in the microquasar system XTE J1550-564 reveal a radial velocity curve with a best fitting spectroscop…

Multiwavelength Observations of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1550-564 during the 2000 Outburst

R. K. Jain, C. D. Bailyn, J. A. Orosz +2

We report optical, infrared, and X-ray light curves for the outburst, in 2000, of the black hole candidate XTE J1550-564. We find that the start of the outburst in the H and V band…

Optical Observations of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1550-564 During Re-Flare and Quiescence

Raj K. Jain, Charles D. Bailyn, Jerome A. Orosz +3

We report optical monitoring of the soft X-ray transient XTE J1550-564 during the 1999 season (4 January 1999 to 24 August 1999). The first optical observations available in 1999 s…

Orbital Parameters for the Soft X-ray Transient 4U 1543-47: Evidence for a Black Hole

Jerome A. Orosz, Raj K. Jain, Charles D. Bailyn +2

(shortened) Spectroscopic observations of the soft X-ray transient 4U 1543-47 reveal a radial velocity curve with a period of P=1.123 +/- 0.008 days and a semi-amplitude of K_2 = 1…
