Dwarf Nova Outbursts with Magnetorotational Turbulence
M. S. B. Coleman, I. Kotko, O. Blaes +2
The phenomenological Disc Instability Model has been successful in reproducing the observed light curves of dwarf nova outbursts by invoking an enhanced Shakura-Sunyaev paramet…
Outbursts in ultracompact X-ray binaries
J. -M. Hameury, J. -P. Lasota
Very faint X-ray binaries appear to be transient in many cases with peak luminosities much fainter than that of usual soft X-ray transients, but their nature still remains elusive.…
Events leading up to the June 2015 outburst of V404 Cyg
F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell, A. W. Shaw +5
On 2015 June 15 the burst alert telescope (BAT) on board {\em Swift} detected an X-ray outburst from the black hole transient V404 Cyg. We monitored V404 Cyg for the last 10 years…
ULXs: Neutron Stars vs Black Holes
Andrew King, Jean-Pierre Lasota
We consider ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) where the accretor is a neutron star rather than a black hole. We show that the recently-discovered example (M82 X-2) fits naturally…
