Monitoring Observations of SMC X-1's Excursions (MOOSE) I: Program Description and Initial High-State Spectral Results

Kristen C. Dage, McKinley Brumback, Joey Neilsen +8

SMC X-1 has exhibited three super-orbital period excursions since the onset of X-ray monitoring beginning with RXTE's launch in 1995. NICER has recently probed a fourth observed ex…

A persistent ultraviolet outflow from an accreting neutron star binary transient

N. Castro Segura, C. Knigge, K. S. Long +31

All disc-accreting astrophysical objects produce powerful outflows. In binaries containing neutron stars (NS) or black holes, accretion often takes place during violent outbursts.…

A Decade of Black-Hole X-ray Binary Transients

Philip A Charles, David A H Buckley, Enrico Kotze +7

The last decade has seen a significant gain in both space and ground-based monitoring capabilities, producing vastly better coverage of BH X-ray binaries during their (rare) transi…

Astrometric excess noise in Gaia EDR3 and the search for X-ray binaries

P. Gandhi, D. A. H. Buckley, P. A. Charles +6

Astrometric noise (AEN) in excess of parallax and proper motion is a potential signature of orbital wobble of individual components in binary star systems. The combination of X-ray…

Synchronous X-ray/Optical QPOs from the Black Hole LMXB MAXI J1820+070

Jessymol K. Thomas, David A. H. Buckley, Philip A. Charles +10

We present high-speed optical photometry from SAAO and SALT on the black hole LMXB \MAXI (ASSASN-18ey), some of it simultaneous with NICER, Swift and Insight-HXMT X-ray coverage. W…

Large optical modulations during 2018 outburst of MAXI J1820+070 reveal evolution of warped accretion disc through X-ray state change

Jessymol K. Thomas, Philip A. Charles, David A. H. Buckley +5

The black-hole X-ray transient MAXI J1820+07 (=ASSASN-18ey) discovered in March 2018 was one of the optically brightest ever seen, which has resulted in very detailed optical outbu…
