An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
Poshak Gandhi, Matteo Bachetti, Vik S. Dhillon +25
Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leadin…
Near-infrared counterparts of three transient very faint neutron star X-ray binaries
A. W. Shaw, C. O. Heinke, N. Degenaar +3
We present near-infrared (NIR) imaging observations of three transient neutron star X-ray binaries, SAX J1753.5-2349, SAX J1806.5-2215 and AX J1754.2-2754. All three sources are me…
Furiously Fast and Red: Sub-second Optical Flaring in V404 Cyg during the 2015 Outburst Peak
P. Gandhi, S. P. Littlefair, L. K. Hardy +25
We present observations of rapid (sub-second) optical flux variability in V404 Cyg during its 2015 June outburst. Simultaneous three-band observations with the ULTRACAM fast imager…
A low-luminosity soft state in the short period black hole X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127
A. W. Shaw, P. Gandhi, D. Altamirano +6
We present results from the spectral fitting of the candidate black hole X-ray binary Swift J1753.5-0127 in an accretion state previously unseen in this source. We fit the 0.7-78 k…
