On the Optical -- X-ray correlation from outburst to quiescence in Low Mass X-ray Binaries: the representative cases of V404 Cyg and Cen X-4
F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell, K. I. I. Koljonen +3
Low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) show evidence of a global correlation of debated origin between X-ray and optical luminosity. We study for the first time this correlation in two tr…
The variable spin-down rate of the transient magnetar XTE J1810--197
F. Pintore, F. Bernardini, S. Mereghetti +7
We have analyzed XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of the transient magnetar XTE J1810-197, spanning more than 11 years, from the initial phases of the 2003 outburst to the curre…
Events leading up to the June 2015 outburst of V404 Cyg
F. Bernardini, D. M. Russell, A. W. Shaw +5
On 2015 June 15 the burst alert telescope (BAT) on board {\em Swift} detected an X-ray outburst from the black hole transient V404 Cyg. We monitored V404 Cyg for the last 10 years…
