The Orbital Period of HDE226868/Cyg X-1

J. LaSala, P. A. Charles, R. A. D. Smith +2

We present epoch 1996, high-quality radial velocity data for HDE 226868, the optical counterpart of Cygnus X-1. Combining our results with all published historical data, we have de…

The eclipsing X-ray pulsar X-7 in M33

G. Dubus, P. A. Charles, K. S. Long +2

Using our extensive ROSAT X-ray observations of M33, we confirm a 3.45 day eclipse period for the Einstein source X-7 (Larson & Schulman, 1997) and discover evidence for a 0.31-s p…

Evidence for a 2 hr Optical Modulation in GS1826-24

L. Homer, P. A. Charles, D. O'Donoghue

We report the discovery of a 2.1hr optical modulation in the transient source GS1826-24, based on two independent high time-resolution photometric observing runs. There is addition…
