Optical polarimetric observations of the microquasar LS 5039
J. A. Combi, S. A. Cellone, J. Marti +3
We present the first optical polarimetric observations of the runaway microquasar LS 5039. Our results reveal the presence of a large amount (~5%) of polarized emission towards thi…
Bowen Fluorescence from Companion Stars in X-ray Binaries
J. Casares, D. Steeghs, R. I. Hynes +3
This paper will review a new technique of detecting companion stars in LMXBs and X-ray transients in outburst using the Bowen fluorescence lines at 4634-4640 Angs. These lines are…
Optical spectroscopy of microquasar candidates at low galactic latitudes
J. Marti, J. M. Paredes, J. S. Bloom +3
We report optical spectroscopic observations of a sample of 6 low-galactic latitude microquasar candidates selected by cross-identification of X-ray and radio point source catalogs…
Detection of variable circular polarization in the SW Sex star V795 Herculis
P. Rodriguez-Gil, J. Casares, I. G. Martinez-Pais +1
We report the detection of modulated circular polarization in V795 Her. The degree of polarization increases with wavelength and is modulated with a period of 19.54 min, which is v…
A re-analysis of the optical light curves of XTE~J2123-058: the mass of the binary components and the outburst mechanism
T. Shahbaz, J. Casares
Rejected by MNRAS due to irregularites in the text. The first author is solely resposible for this.
Doppler Tomography of XTE J2123-058 and Other Neutron Star LMXBs
R. I. Hynes, P. A. Charles, C. A. Haswell +2
We describe Doppler tomography obtained in the 1998 outburst of the neutron star low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) XTE J2123-058. This analysis, and other aspects of phase-resolved spec…
