Photometry of the X-ray transient XTE J1859+226, obtained during outburst, showed at least 3 minioutbursts. During the second one, the source exhibited a 0.3...
Multiwavelength Observations of the Black Hole Transient XTE J1752–223 during Its 2010 Outburst Decay
Galactic black hole transients show many interesting phenomena during outburst decays. We present simultaneous X-ray (RXTE, Swift, and INTEGRAL), and optical...
Multiwavelength spectroscopy of the black hole candidate MAXI J1813-095 during its discovery outburst
MAXI J1813-095 is an X-ray transient discovered during an outburst in 2018. We report on X-ray and optical observations obtained during this event, which...
Multiwavelength Study of the Bright X-Ray Source Population in the Interacting Galaxies NGC 5774/NGC 5775
A few nearby interacting galaxies are known that host elevated numbers of ultraluminous X-ray sources. Here we report the results of a multiwavelength study of...
New clues on outburst mechanisms and improved spectroscopic elements of the black hole binary V4641 Sagittarii*
We present spectroscopic observations of the black hole binary V4641 Sagittarii, obtained between 2004 July 4 and 2005 March 28, which cover the minor outburst...
NICER observations reveal that the X-ray transient MAXI J1348-630 is a black hole X-ray binary
We studied the outburst evolution and timing properties of the recently discovered X-ray transient MAXI J1348-630 as observed with NICER. We produced the...
No evidence for a low-mass black hole in Swift J1753.5-0127
We present high-resolution, time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1753.5-0127. Our optical spectra do not show features...
Observan cómo se alimenta el agujero negro de Andrómeda
Un equipo científico internacional, liderado por la Universidad Observatorio de Munich y el Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, obtiene una visualización...
Observational constraints on the powering mechanism of transient relativistic jets
We revisit the paradigm of the dependence of jet power on black hole (BH) spin in accreting BH systems. In a previous paper, we showed that the luminosity of...
