The strength of Type-C quasi-periodic oscillations in black hole X-ray binaries correlates with the jet inclination
F. M. Vincentelli, N. Bollemeijer, A. Veledina +10
X-ray quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) are a characteristic feature of low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). These oscillations have been studied for decades and revealed a rich and c…
Super-Eddington Accretion through a Multiwavelength Lens: Searching for Counterparts of Ultraluminous X-ray Sources
R. Amato, M. Bachetti, R. Soria +8
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) represent the closest and most accessible laboratories to study sustained super-Eddington accretion onto compact objects. Over the past decade, t…
Covariance spectrum of MAXI J1820+070: On the nature of the Comptonizing flow

We present an analysis of the covariance spectrum of the black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 during its hard state. For the first time, we extend coherence and covariance studie…
Infrared Synchrotron Emission in the Soft State of GX 339-4 and the Mid-Infrared/X-ray Luminosity Plane of Black Hole X-ray Binaries
P. Gandhi, D. M. Russell, M. C. Baglio +33
Progress in understanding the growth of accreting black holes remains hampered by a lack of sensitive coordinated multiwavelength observations. In particular, the mid-infrared (MIR…
An ultraviolet burst oscillation candidate from the low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676
A. Miraval Zanon, F. Ambrosino, G. Illiano +15
X-ray burst oscillations are quasi-coherent periodic signals at frequencies close to the neutron star spin frequency. They are observed during thermonuclear Type I X-ray bursts fro…

Francesco Carotenuto, Liang Zhang, Diego Altamirano +3
Black hole X-ray binaries (BH XRBs) launch powerful relativistic jets during bright outburst phases. The properties of these outflows change dramatically between different spectral…

Andrew K. Hughes, Francesco Carotenuto, Thomas D. Russell +39
This work presents comprehensive multi-frequency radio monitoring of the black hole low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613, which underwent its first recorded outburst after it…
The peculiar hard state behaviour of the black hole X-ray binary Swift J1727.81613
A. K. Hughes, F. Carotenuto, T. D. Russell +37
Tracking the correlation between radio and X-ray luminosities during black hole X-ray binary outbursts is a key diagnostic of the coupling between accretion inflows (traced by X-ra…
Gone with the Wind: JWST-MIRI Unveils a Strong Outflow from the Quiescent Stellar-Mass Black Hole A0620-00
Zihao Zuo, Gabriele Cugno, Joseph Michail +15
We present new observations of the black hole X-ray binary A0620-00 using the Mid-Infrared Instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope, during a state where the X-ray luminosity i…
Wobbling around the clock: magnetically-driven quasi-periodic oscillations in pulsating ultraluminous X-ray sources
M. Veresvarska, M. Imbrogno, R. Amato +8
Ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) are X-ray binary systems containing an accreting neutron star (NS) or black hole emitting at luminosities above the Eddington limit of a $10M_{\o…
