Low-level accretion in neutron star X-ray binaries
We search the literature for reports on the spectral properties of neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries when they have accretion luminosities between 1034 and...
MAGIC search for VHE γ-ray emission from AE Aquarii in a multiwavelength context
Context. It has been claimed that the nova-like cataclysmic variable AE Aquarii (AE Aqr) is a very-high-energy (VHE, E> 100 GeV) source both on observational...
Magnetospheric accretion onto the T Tauri star AA Tauri. I. Constraints from multisite spectrophotometric monitoring
We have monitored the photometric, spectroscopic and polarimetric variations of the classical T Tauri star (CTTS) AA Tau over a period of a month. The light...
Mass accretion rates from multiband photometry in the Carina Nebula: the case of Trumpler 14
Context. We present a study of the mass accretion rates of pre-main sequence (PMS) stars in the cluster Trumpler 14 (Tr 14) in the Carina Nebula. Using optical...
Mass constraints to Sco X-1 from Bowen fluorescence and deep near-infrared spectroscopy
More than 50 years after the dawn of X-ray astronomy, the dynamical parameters of the prototypical X-ray binary Sco X-1 are still unknown. We combine a Monte...
Mass Ratio Determination from H α Lines in Black Hole X-Ray Transients
We find that the mass ratio q in quiescent black hole (BH) X-ray transients is tightly correlated with the ratio of the double-peak separation (DP) to the full...
Massive Relic Galaxies Challenge the Co-evolution of Super-massive Black Holes and Their Host Galaxies
We study a sample of eight massive galaxies that are extreme outliers (3–5σ) in the {M}\bullet ‑ Mbulge local scaling relation. Two of these galaxies are...
MASTER Optical Polarization Variability Detection in the Microquasar V404 Cyg/GS 2023+33
On 2015 June 15, the Swift space observatory discovered that the Galactic black hole candidate V404 Cyg was undergoing another active X-ray phase, after 25...
Matter ejections behind the highs and lows of the transitional millisecond pulsar PSR J1023+0038
Transitional millisecond pulsars are an emerging class of sources that link low-mass X-ray binaries to millisecond radio pulsars in binary systems. These...
