Bowen emission from Aquila X-1: evidence for multiple components and constraint on the accretion disc vertical structure
F. Jiménez-Ibarra, T. Muñoz-Darias, L. Wang +5
We present a detailed spectroscopic study of the optical counterpart of the neutron star X-ray transient Aquila X-1 during its 2011, 2013 and 2016 outbursts. We use 65 intermediate…
Hibernating black holes revealed by photometric mass functions
Jorge Casares
We present a novel strategy to uncover the Galactic population of quiescent black holes (BHs). This is based on a new concept, the photometric mass function (PMF), which opens up t…
An elevation of 0.1 light-seconds for the optical jet base in an accreting Galactic black hole system
Poshak Gandhi, Matteo Bachetti, Vik S. Dhillon +25
Relativistic plasma jets are observed in many accreting black holes. According to theory, coiled magnetic fields close to the black hole accelerate and collimate the plasma, leadin…
MAGIC VHE Gamma-Ray Observations Of Binary Systems
Daniela Hadasch, Wlodek Bednarek, Oscar Blanch +13
There are several types of Galactic sources that can potentially accelerate charged particles up to GeV and TeV energies. We present here the results of our observations of the sou…
Black hole masses of tidal disruption event host galaxies
Thomas Wevers, Sjoert van Velzen, Peter G. Jonker +5
The mass of the central black hole in a galaxy that hosted a tidal disruption event (TDE) is an important parameter in understanding its energetics and dynamics. We present the fir…
X-ray Binaries
Jorge Casares, Peter G. Jonker, Garik Israelian
This chapter discusses the implications of X-ray binaries on our knowledge of Type Ibc and Type II supernovae. X-ray binaries contain accreting neutron stars and stellar--mass blac…
