The Physics of the Nebular Phase in Black Hole X-ray Binaries: Modelling V404 Cygni
A. Ambrifi, T. Muñoz-Darias, J. A. Fernández-Ontiveros +3
Some of the most extreme galactic black hole transients exhibit a nebular phase at the end of their outbursts. This stage was first identified in the 2015 outburst of V404 Cygni, w…
Ubiquitous yet forgotten: broad absorptions in the optical spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries
D. Mata Sanchez, T. Munoz-Darias, J. Casares +2
Optical outburst spectra of low-mass X-ray binaries enable studies of extreme accretion and ejection phenomena. While some of their spectroscopic features have been analysed in det…
Unveiling the nature of the Einstein Probe transient EP 241021a
J. Quirola-Vásquez, P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan +23
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of the fast X-ray transient EP 241021a, discovered by the Wide-field X-ray Telescope aboard the \emph{Einstein Probe} satellite on 2024 Octob…
EP250207b is not a collapsar fast X-ray transient. Is it due to a compact object merger?
P. G. Jonker, A. J. Levan, Xing Liu +41
Fast X-ray Transients (FXTs) are short-lived extra-galactic X-ray sources. Recent progress through multi-wavelength follow-up of Einstein Probe discovered FXTs has shown that sever…
Dynamical confirmation of a black hole in the X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-1613
D. Mata Sanchez, M. A. P. Torres, J. Casares +3
The X-ray transient Swift J1727.8-1613 ended its 10-month discovery outburst on June of 2024, when it reached an optical brightness comparable to pre-discovery magnitudes. With the…
Fast infrared winds during the radio-loud and X-ray obscured stages of the black hole transient GRS 1915+105
J. Sánchez-Sierras, T. Muñoz-Darias, S. E. Motta +10
The black hole transient GRS 1915+105 entered a new phase of activity in 2018, generally characterised by low X-ray and radio fluxes. This phase has been only interrupted by episod…
