Discovery of an accretion-rate independent absolute RMS amplitude of millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 1636-53
Ming Lyu, Mariano Mendez, D. Altamirano +2
We investigate the frequency and amplitude of the millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) in the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary (NS LMXB) 4U 1636-53 using Rossi X-ray…
The amplitude of the kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations in 4U 163653 in the frequency-energy space
Evandro M. Ribeiro, Mariano Méndez, Marcio G. B. de Avellar +2
We present for the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary 4U 163653, and for the first time for any source of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs), the two-dimensional b…
Bright mini-outburst ends the 12-year long activity of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127
Guobao Zhang, F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell +16
We present optical, UV and X-ray monitoring of the short orbital period black hole X-ray binary candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, focusing on the final stages of its 12year long out…
Optical precursors to X-ray binary outbursts
David M. Russell, D. M. Bramich, F. Lewis +14
Disc instability models predict that for X-ray binaries in quiescence, there should be a brightening of the optical flux prior to an X-ray outburst. Tracking the X-ray variations o…
Study of the X-ray properties of the neutron-star binary 4U 172834 from the soft to hard state
Yanan Wang, Mariano Méndez, Diego Altamirano +7
We studied five XMM-Newton observations of the neutron-star binary 4U 172834 covering the hard, intermediate and soft spectral states. By jointly fitting the spectra with severa…
