We report the discovery of ~10 mHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in a 3.5 ks RXTE observation of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624 (ATELs #3144, #3159, #3167, #3203) on March 14th 2011 (MJD 55634.66). Only PCU2 was active, with an average 2-60 keV background-corrected count rate of 110 counts/s. The QPO is visible by eye in the light

We have conducted a 3-month programme of simultaneous optical, soft and hard X-ray monitoring of the LMXB 4U 1636-536/V801 Ara using the SMARTS 1.3-m telescope and archival RXTE/ASM and Swift/XRT data. 4U 1636-536 has been exhibiting a large amplitude, quasi-periodic variability since 2002 when its X-ray flux dramatically declined by roughly an

We have used the seven-year Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) data in order to update the measurements of the intensity signal in the G159.6-18.5 region within the Perseus molecular complex and to set constraints on the polarization level of the anomalous microwave emission in the frequency range where this emission is dominant. At 23, 33

It has been suggested that the X-shaped morphology observed in some radio sources can reflect either a recent merger of two supermassive black holes (SMBHs) or the presence of a second active black hole in the galactic nucleus. These scenarios are tested by studying the relationship between the black hole mass, radio and optical luminosity

We discuss the bi-directional reflectance spectra of 10 HED meteorites in the 0.4-4.6 µm range.
