Multiwavelength Follow-up Observations of the Tidal Disruption Event Candidate 2XMMi J184725.1-631724
Dacheng Lin, Jay Strader, Eleazar R. Carrasco +5
The ultrasoft X-ray flare 2XMMi J184725.1-631724 was serendipitously detected in two XMM-Newton observations in 2006 and 2007, with a peak luminosity of 6X10^43 erg/s. It was sugge…
2FGL J0846.0+2820: A new neutron star binary with a giant secondary and variable -ray emission
Samuel J. Swihart, Jay Strader, Tyrel J. Johnson +11
We present optical photometric and spectroscopic observations of the likely stellar counterpart to the unassociated \emph{Fermi}-Large Area Telescope (LAT) -ray source 2FGL J084…
The Electromagnetic Counterpart of the Binary Neutron Star Merger LIGO/VIRGO GW170817. III. Optical and UV Spectra of a Blue Kilonova From Fast Polar Ejecta
M. Nicholl, E. Berger, D. Kasen +31
We present optical and ultraviolet spectra of the first electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational wave (GW) source, the binary neutron star merger GW170817. Spectra were obtai…
Orbital Dynamics of Candidate Transitional Millisecond Pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125: An unusually face-on system
Christopher T. Britt, Jay Strader, Laura Chomiuk +4
We present the orbital solution for the donor star of the candidate transitional millisecond pulsar 3FGL J1544.6-1125, currently observed as an accreting low-mass X-ray binary. The…
A Nova Outburst Powered by Shocks
Kwan-Lok Li, Brian D. Metzger, Laura Chomiuk +13
Classical novae are runaway thermonuclear burning events on the surfaces of accreting white dwarfs in close binary star systems, sometimes appearing as new naked-eye sources in the…
The ultracompact nature of the black hole candidate X-ray binary 47 Tuc X9
Arash Bahramian, Craig O. Heinke, Vlad Tudor +9
47 Tuc X9 is a low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and was previously thought to be a cataclysmic variable. However, Miller-Jones et al. (2015) recentl…
