Secrets behind the RXTE/ASM light curve of Cyg X-3
Osmi Vilhu, Karri Koljonen, Diana Hannikainen
In wind-fed X-ray binaries, the radiatively driven wind of the primary star can be suppressed by the EUV irradiation of the compact secondary star, leading to an increased accretio…
Wind suppression by X-rays in Cygnus X-3
Osmi Vilhu, Timothy R. Kallman, Karri I. Koljonen +1
The radiatively driven wind of the primary star in wind-fed X-ray binaries can be suppressed by the X-ray irradiation of the compact secondary star. This causes feedback between th…
The X-ray spectro-timing properties of a major radio flare episode in Cygnus X-3
K. I. I. Koljonen, M. L. McCollough, D. C. Hannikainen +1
We have performed a principal component analysis on the X-ray spectra of the microquasar Cygnus X-3 from RXTE, INTEGRAL and Swift during a major flare ejection event in 2006 May-Ju…
Modeling the X-ray light curves of Cygnus X-3. Possible role of the jet
Osmi Vilhu, Diana Carina Hannikainen
Context: Physics behind the soft X-ray light curve asymmetries in Cygnus X-3, a well-known microquasar, was studied. AIMS: Observable effects of the jet close to the line-of-sight…
2006 May-July Major Radio Flare episodes in Cygnus X-3: spectro-timing analysis of the X-ray data
K. I. I. Koljonen, M. L. McCollough, D. C. Hannikainen +1
We analyse in detail the X-ray data of the microquasar Cygnus X-3 obtained during major radio flaring episodes in 2006 with multiple observatories. The analysis consists of two par…
Future Science Prospects for AMI
Keith Grainge, Paul Alexander, Richard Battye +72
The Arcminute Microkelvin Imager (AMI) is a telescope specifically designed for high sensitivity measurements of low-surface-brightness features at cm-wavelength and has unique, im…
