Collinder 261 Chandra sources & optical counterparts
We present the first X-ray study of Collinder 261 (Cr261), which at an age of 7Gyr is one of the oldest open clusters known in the Galaxy. Our observation with the Chandra X-Ray... -
eta Carinae obs. around the 2014 X-ray minimum
We report on Swift X-ray Telescope observations of Eta Carinae ({eta}Car), an extremely massive, long-period, highly eccentric binary obtained during the 2014.6 X-ray... -
Two dips in the LC of 3XMMJ004232.1+411314
We performed a search for eclipsing and dipping sources in the archive of the EXTraS project-a systematic characterization of the temporal behavior of XMM-Newton point sources.... -
Optical LCs of the counterpart to IC 10 X-2
We present an optical and infrared (IR) study of IC 10 X-2, a high-mass X-ray binary in the galaxy IC 10. Previous optical and X-ray studies suggest that X-2 is a Supergiant... -
Deep Chandra obs. of X-ray point sources in M87
We present a study of X-ray source populations in M87, the cD galaxy of the Virgo cluster, using 12 archival Chandra observations with a total exposure of ~680ks spanning about... -
X-ray stacking analysis of Chandra-COSMOS gal.
We present an X-ray stacking analysis of ~75000 star-forming galaxies between 0.1<z<5.0 using the Chandra COSMOS-Legacy survey to study the X-ray emission of... -
Opt/NIR obs. of 1FGLJ1417.7-4407 neutron star bin.
The Fermi {gamma}-ray source 1FGL J1417.7-4407 (J1417) is a compact X-ray binary with a neutron star primary and a red giant companion in a ~5.4 days orbit. This initial... -
Times of X-ray minima & orbit numbers of Cyg X-3
By using available archival X-ray data, we significantly extended the list of times of X-ray minima. The new list includes 65 data points obtained by critically reanalyzing RXTE... -
IR spectroscopy of symbiotic stars. XII. V934 Her
The X-ray symbiotic (SyXB) V934 Her = 4U1700+24 is an M giant-neutron star (NS) binary system. Employing optical and infrared radial velocities spanning 29yr combined with the... -
24yr of radio observations of V404 Cygni
Relativistic outflows are believed to be a common feature of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) at the lowest accretion rates, when they are in their "quiescent" spectral state.... -
BVI LCs and radial velocities of PSR J1306-40
PSR J1306-40 is a millisecond pulsar (MSP) binary with a non-degenerate companion in an unusually long ~1.097 day orbit. We present new optical photometry and spectroscopy of... -
Chandra multi-epoch study of the spiral gal. NGC7331
X-ray point sources in galaxies are dominated by X-ray binaries (XRBs) that are variables or transients, and whether their variability would alter the X-ray luminosity functions... -
Deep Chandra survey of the SMC. III. HMXBs
We have compiled the most complete census of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) in the Small Magellanic Cloud with the aim to investigate the formation efficiency of young... -
Swift/XRT and NICER timing study of MAXI J1820+070
We present a detailed timing analysis of the bright black hole X-ray binary MAXI J1820+070 (ASASSN-18ey), during its first detected outburst lasting from 2018 March until 2019... -
X-ray binaries in M101 with HST optical data
The high-energy emission from nearby, star-forming galaxies is dominated by X-ray binaries, where a neutron star or black hole is accreting mass from either a low-mass... -
MAXI GSC X-ray LCs of the ULX Swift J0243.6+6124
This paper reports on the X-ray emission evolution of the ultraluminous Galactic X-ray pulsar Swift J0243.6+6124 during the giant outburst from 2017 October to 2018 January as... -
Swift/BAT and RXTE/ASM obs. of Hercules X-1
Swift/BAT and RXTE/ASM observations have monitored the X-ray binary system Her X-1 for approximately 14.5yr each, and both were monitoring Her X-1 for a period of ~5.5yr. Here... -
X-Ray binary population in M31
We present our analysis of high-quality high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) candidates in M31 selected from point-source optical counterpart candidates from the Chandra-PHAT survey... -
LIGO O2; gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1
We present the results of a search in LIGO O2 public data for continuous gravitational waves from the neutron star in the low-mass X-ray binary Scorpius X-1. We search for... -
HMXB-dominant galaxy sample and properties
In this work, we present detailed constraints on the metallicity dependence of the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) X-ray luminosity function (XLF). We analyze ~5Ms of Chandra data...
