Near-IR photometry of PMS stars in rho Oph
The aim of this paper is to provide a measurement of the mass accretion rate in a large, complete sample of objects in the core of the star forming region rho Oph. The sample... -
Pre-eclipse dip of Her X-1
We report on a pre-eclipse dip of the X-ray binary pulsar Her X-1 observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 1996 July. The energy spectra in the 3-18keV range can be... -
XXL Survey. DR2
We present the second data release (DR2) of the XXL Survey, contextually with the appearance of a second A&A special issue dedicated to XXL. This intermediate release... -
Accretion rate of AGNs from COSMOS surveys
We show how accretion rate governs the physical properties of a sample of unobscured broad-line, narrow-line, and lineless active galactic nuclei (AGNs). We avoid the systematic... -
Black hole mass and accretion rate of AGNs
Using an empirical relation between the broad-line region size and optical continuum luminosity, we estimated the black hole mass and accretion rate for 135 active galactic... -
Illumination in binaries
We give a simple, but accurate method that can be used to account for illumination in compact binary systems which have a low-mass companion, even if spherically symmetric...
