  • MAXI J1659-152 2010 outburst analysis

    We present a comprehensive spectral-timing study of the black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 during its 2010 outburst. We analysed 65 Rossi X-ray timing explorer (RXTE)...
  • HMXBs in nearby galaxies

    Based on a homogeneous set of X-ray, infrared and ultraviolet observations from Chandra, Spitzer, GALEX and 2MASS archives, we study populations of high-mass X-ray binaries...
  • X-ray sources in the Phoenix dwarf galaxy

    We report on the first X-ray images of the Phoenix dwarf galaxy, taken with XMM-Newton in 2009 July. This Local Group dwarf galaxy shares similarities with the Small Magellanic...
  • Spectral parameters for MAXI J1543-564

    We report on a spectral-timing analysis of the black hole X-ray binary candidate MAXI J1543-564 during its 2011 outburst. All 99 pointed observations of this outburst obtained...
  • High-frequency QPO in black hole binaries

    We present the results of the analysis of a large data base of X-ray observations of 22 galactic black hole transients with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer throughout its...
  • XTE J1550-564 quasi-periodic oscillations

    In this paper, we investigate the energy dependence of the centroid frequency of the low-frequency quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs; 0.08-20Hz) in XTE J1550-564. We have used...
  • GX 339-4 radio/X-ray flux correlation

    The existing radio and X-ray flux correlation for Galactic black holes in the hard and quiescent states relies on a sample which is mostly dominated by two sources (GX 339-4 and...
  • Swift J1745-26 polarized jet

    Swift J1745-26 is an X-ray binary towards the Galactic Centre that was detected when it went into outburst in 2012 September. This source is thought to be one of a growing...
  • Galactic Bulge accreting binaries spectroscopy

    We present the identification of optical counterparts to 23 GBS X-ray sources. All sources are classified as accreting binaries according to the emission-line characteristics...
  • Black hole binaries quasi-periodic oscillations

    We present a systematic study of the orbital inclination effects on black hole transients fast time-variability properties. We have considered all the black hole binaries that...
  • Type II bursts in the Rapid Burster

    Type II bursts are thought to arise from instabilities in the accretion flow on to a neutron star in an X-ray binary. Despite having been known for almost 40 years, no model can...
  • Sample of faint X-ray pulsators

    We report on the discovery of 41 new pulsating sources in the data of the Chandra Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer, which is sensitive to X-ray photons in the 0.3-10 keV band....
  • Bright HMXBs in THINGS galaxies

    Using a spectral analysis of bright Chandra X-ray sources located in 27 nearby galaxies and maps of star-formation rate (SFR) and ISM surface densities for these galaxies, we...
  • Transient black hole X-ray binaries XMM obs.

    All observations of Galactic X-ray binaries are affected by absorption from gas and dust in the interstellar medium (ISM) which imprints narrow (line) and broad (photoelectric...
  • Non-nuclear X-ray sources in nearby galaxies

    We have created a new, clean catalogue of extragalactic non-nuclear X-ray sources by correlating the 3XMM-DR4 data release of the XMM-Newton Serendipitous Source Catalogue with...
  • Sub-galactic X-ray scaling relations

    We present results from Chandra observations of the X-ray starburst galaxies NGC3310 and NGC2276. We detect 27 discrete sources in NGC3310, and 19 discrete sources in NGC2276...
  • Phase diff. between QPO harmonics in BHXRB

    We perform a systematic study of the evolution of the waveform of black hole X-ray binary low-frequency QPOs, by measuring the phase difference between their fundamental and...
  • Effects of metallicity on HMXB formation

    The heating of the intergalactic medium in the early, metal-poor Universe may have been partly due to radiation from high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). Previous investigations on...
  • Radio astrometry of MAXI J1820+070

    Using the Very Long Baseline Array and the European Very Long Baseline Interferometry Network, we have made a precise measurement of the radio parallax of the black hole X-ray...
  • Polarization of LMXB MAXI J1820+070

    We describe the first complete polarimetric dataset of the entire outburst of a low-mass black hole X-ray binary system and discuss the constraints for geometry and radiative...
