eRASSU J043115.8-711730 :the first pulsating symbiotic super-soft X-ray source in the Magellanic Bridge
Tathagata Saha, Chandreyee Maitra, Philip Charles +9
The Magellanic Bridge stellar population is a relic of the tidal interaction between the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. A comprehensive view of the evolution of the Bridge stel…
Astrophysical parameters of LS 437 and the nature of X0726-260
Ignacio Negueruela, Sara R. Berlanas, Lee J. Townsend +2
Be/X-ray binaries, the most common class of high-mass X-ray binaries, are characterised by OBe companions, but display a rich variety of X-ray behaviours. One of the most atypical…
Sharp Periodic Flares and Long-Term Variability in the High-Mass X-ray Binary XTE J1829-098 from RXTE PCA, Swift BAT and MAXI Observations
Robin H. D. Corbet, Ralf Ballhausen, Peter A. Becker +20
XTE J1829-098 is a transient X-ray pulsar with a period of ~7.8 s. It is a candidate Be star system, although the evidence for this is not yet definitive. We investigated the twent…
Discovery of a Rare Eclipsing Be/X-ray Binary System, Swift J010902.6-723710 = SXP 182
Thomas M. Gaudin, Jamie A. Kennea, Malcolm J. Coe +5
We report on the discovery of Swift J010902.6-723710, a rare eclipsing Be/X-ray Binary system by the Swift SMC Survey (S-CUBED). Swift J010902.6-723710 was discovered via weekly S-…
The 2022 super-Eddington outburst of the source SMC X-2
Malcolm J. Coe, Jamie A. Kennea, Itumeleng M. Monageng +5
SMC X-2 exhibits X-ray outburst behaviour that makes it one of the most luminous X-ray sources in the Small Magellanic Cloud. In the last decade it has undergone two such massive o…
4U 1210-64: a new member of the rare intermediate-mass X-ray binary subclass
Itumeleng M. Monageng, Vanessa A. McBride, Julia Alfonso-Garzon +5
4U 1210-64 is a peculiar X-ray binary that was first discovered in 1978 by the Uhuru satellite. The analysis of the X-ray data revealed a 6.7-day orbital period and an additional l…
The SMC X-ray binary SXP4.78 : a new Type II outburst and the identification and study of the optical counterpart
Itumeleng Monageng, Malcolm Coe, Lee Townsend +6
SXP4.78 was originally discovered in 2000 as a pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) but it was not spatially located at that time. A…
Long-term optical and X-ray variability of the Be/X-ray binary H 1145-619: discovery of an on-going retrograde density wave
J. Alfonso-Garzón, J. Fabregat, P. Reig +7
Multiwavelength monitoring of Be/X-ray binaries is crucial to understand the mechanisms producing their outbursts. H 1145-619 is one of these systems, which has recently displayed…
Spin period change and the magnetic fields of neutron stars in Be X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud
H. Klus, W. C. G. Ho, M. J. Coe +2
We report on the long-term average spin period, rate of change of spin period and X-ray luminosity during outbursts for 42 Be X-ray binary systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud. We…
Anisotropic inverse Compton scattering of photons from the circumstellar disc in PSR B1259-63
B. van Soelen, P. J. Meintjes, A. Odendaal +1
The gamma-ray binary system PSR B1259-63 consists of a 48 ms pulsar orbiting a Be star. The system is particularly interesting because it is the only gamma-ray binary system where…
The XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud: XMMUJ010633.1-731543 and XMMUJ010743.1-715953, two new Be/X-ray binary systems
M. J. Coe, F. Haberl, R. Sturm +6
In the course of the XMM-Newton survey of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), two new bright X-ray sources were discovered exhibiting the spectral characteris- tics of High Mass X-ra…
X-ray Pulsations from the region of the Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient IGR J17544-2619
S. P. Drave, A. J. Bird, L. J. Townsend +5
Phase-targeted RXTE observations have allowed us to detect a transient 71.49 \pm 0.02 s signal that is most likely to be originating from the supergiant fast X-ray transient IGR J1…
On the orbital parameters of Be/X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud
L. J. Townsend, M. J. Coe, R. H. D. Corbet +1
The orbital motion of a neutron star about its optical companion presents a window through which to study the orbital parameters of that binary system. This has been used extensive…
The Orbital Solution and Spectral Classification of the High-Mass X-Ray Binary IGR J01054-7253 in the Small Magellanic Cloud
L. J. Townsend, M. J. Coe, R. H. D. Corbet +11
We present X-ray and optical data on the Be/X-ray binary (BeXRB) pulsar IGR J01054-7253 = SXP11.5 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observatio…
