A connection between accretion states and the formation of ultra-relativistic outflows in a neutron star X-ray binary

S. E. Motta, R. P. Fender

The nearby accreting neutron star binary Sco X-1 is the closest example of ongoing relativistic jet production at high Eddington ratios. Previous radio studies have revealed that a…

The long outburst of the black hole transient GRS 1716-249 observed in the X-ray and radio band

T. Bassi, M. Del Santo, A. D'Aì +9

We present the spectral and timing analysis of X-ray observations performed on the Galactic black hole transient GRS 1716-249 during the 2016-2017 outburst. The source was almost c…

Swift UVOT observations of the 2015 outburst of V404 Cygni

S. R. Oates, S. Motta, A. P. Beardmore +10

The black-hole binary, V404 Cygni, went into outburst in June 2015, after 26 years of X-ray quiescence. We observed the outburst with the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory. We present…

Radio-loudness in black hole transients: evidence for an inclination effect

S. E. Motta, P. Casella, R. Fender

Accreting stellar-mass black holes appear to populate two branches in a radio:X-ray luminosity plane. We have investigated the X-ray variability properties of a large number of bla…

The December 2015 re-brightening of V404 Cyg: Variable absorption from the accretion disc outflow

J. J. E. Kajava, S. E. Motta, C. Sánchez-Fernández +1

In December 2015 the black hole binary V404 Cyg underwent a secondary outburst after the main June 2015 event. We monitored this re-brightening with the INTEGRAL and Swift satellit…
