Hard X-ray Cataclysmic Variables
D. de Martino, F. Bernardini, K. Mukai +2
Among hard X-ray Galactic sources detected in the Swift and INTEGRAL surveys, those discovered as accreting white dwarf binaries have suprisingly boosted in number in the recent ye…
Discovery of a 2.8 s pulsar in a 2 d orbit High-Mass X-ray Binary powering the Ultraluminous X-ray source ULX-7 in M51
G. A. Rodríguez Castillo, G. L. Israel, A. Belfiore +26
We discovered 2.8 s pulsations in the X-ray emission of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) M51 ULX-7 within the UNSEeN project, which was designed to hunt for new pulsating ULXs…
Bright mini-outburst ends the 12-year long activity of the black hole candidate Swift J1753.5-0127
Guobao Zhang, F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell +16
We present optical, UV and X-ray monitoring of the short orbital period black hole X-ray binary candidate Swift J1753.5-0127, focusing on the final stages of its 12year long out…
Optical precursors to X-ray binary outbursts
David M. Russell, D. M. Bramich, F. Lewis +14
Disc instability models predict that for X-ray binaries in quiescence, there should be a brightening of the optical flux prior to an X-ray outburst. Tracking the X-ray variations o…
The true nature of Swift J0746.3-1608: a possible Intermediate Polar showing accretion state changes
F. Bernardini, D. de Martino, K. Mukai +1
Optical and X-ray observations suggested that the 9.38 h binary, SWIFT J0746.3- 1608 could be a Cataclysmic Variable of the magnetic or nova-like type, or a low mass X-ray binary.…
IGR J14257-6117, a magnetic accreting white dwarf with a very strong X-ray orbital modulation
F. Bernardini, D. de Martino, K. Mukai +1
IGR J14257-6117 is an unclassified source in the hard X-ray catalogues. Optical follow-ups suggest it could be a Cataclysmic Variable of the magnetic type. We present the first hig…
