A candidate proton cyclotron feature in the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 4656 ULX-1
Nelson Cruz-Sanchez, Enzo A. Saavedra, Federico A. Fogantini +6
Ultraluminous X-ray sources represent extreme super-Eddington accretion regimes, and a subset is now known to host highly magnetized neutron stars. However, direct observational pr…
Constraints on cyclotron features and accretion regime in the high-mass X-ray binary 4U 1700-37 from NuSTAR
Lautaro West-Ocampo, Federico A. Fogantini, Enzo A. Saavedra +6
4U 1700-37 is a wind-fed high-mass X-ray binary hosting a compact object, likely a neutron star, accreting from O6.5 Iaf+ supergiant HD 153919. Coherent pulsations not firmly detec…
The hard ultraluminous state of NGC 5055 ULX X-1
N. Cruz-Sanchez, E. A. Saavedra, F. A. Fogantini +2
We present the results of the first broadband X-ray analysis of the ultraluminous X-ray source NGC 5055 ULX X-1, combining simultaneous data from XMMNewton and NuSTAR missions,…
Optical monitoring in southern blazars. Analysis of variability and spectral colour behaviours
L. Zibecchi, I. Andruchow, E. Ej. Marchesini +2
We present the results of the optical monitoring of 18 southern blazars in the V and R Johnson-Cousins bands. Our main objective is to study the variations in the optical flux and…
