A Multi-Wavelength Picture of the Surprisingly Short 2024/25 Outburst from EXO 0748-676

Amy H. Knight, Lauren Rhodes, Noel Castro Segura +11

After sixteen years in quiescence, EXO 0748-676 unexpectedly returned to outburst in March 2024. However, in stark contrast to its previous outburst (1985 - 2008), EXO 0748-676 ret…

JWST/MIRI Spectroscopy of the Quiescent Black Hole X-ray Binary XTE J1118+480: Constraints on Jet and Circumbinary Dust Contributions to the Mid-infrared Emission

Zihao Zuo, Elena Gallo, Nuria Calvet +9

We report on JWST/MIRI low-resolution spectroscopy (-m) and imaging (-m) of the black hole X-ray binary XTE~J1118+480 in quiescence, at an X-ray luminosity nine…

Kink instability as a particle acceleration mechanism in X-ray binaries and the connection to the outburst cycle

Emma L. Elley, James H. Matthews, Alex J. Cooper +2

We consider whether the kink instability can explain particle acceleration in hard state 'compact' X-ray binary jets. We apply a 1D model to assess the expected growth rate of the…

Compelling evidence of a link between the lags of the quasi-periodic oscillations and the radio jet in the black-hole X-ray binary GRS 1915+105

Candela Bellavita, Mariano Méndez, Federico García +5

GRS 1915+105 is one of the most studied black-hole X-ray binaries, known for its extreme variability and rich phenomenology. Previous studies of this source with the Rossi X-ray Ti…

Archival transients detected with the MeerLICHT telescope I: Supernovae

O. Mogawana, P. J. Groot, N. Blagorodnova +9

Wide-field optical transient surveys collectively discover 50 new transients per night, making rapid, multi-filter and/or spectroscopic follow-up of all but the most exceptio…

The second Arcminute Microkelvin Imager - Large Array Gamma-ray burst radio afterglow catalog

L. Rhodes, D. Ibrahim, N. Sqalli +13

Radio observations of gamma-ray burst afterglows provide insight in to the different emitting regions within the jet, its hydrodynamics and burst environment. In this paper, we pre…
