X-ray binaries and black hole candidates: a review of optical properties
This chapter summarizes the optical properties of X-ray binaries, with special emphasis on the class of low mass X-ray binaries and soft X-ray transients. The...
X-ray Binaries in the Nearby Starburst Galaxy IC 10: A New Lab for Astrophysics
We present early results of our Chandra study of transient X-ray binaries (XRB) in IC 10, the youngest and most active starburst galaxy in the local universe. X...
X-ray Binary Jets: New Constraints From Multi-wavelength Spectroscopy And Rapid Timing
Optical instruments for measurement of precise rapid timing have recently given us the capability of going beyond X-ray variability. Observations of several...
X-ray Detection of the Supersoft Source Phase of Nova Vul 2007
We report the X-ray detection of Nova Vul 2007 (S. Nakano, IAUC 8861) with the Swift X-ray Telescope in a 6.7ks observation obtained on 2007 October 18 at UT 01...
In this work, we have linked our evolutionary synthesis models, covering the entire spectral range from radio to X-rays, with photoioniztion codes in order to...
X-ray Emissions from Jupiter as Observed with XMM-Newton
We present two XMM-Newton observations of Jupiter, which were carried out in April and November 2003 for 110 and 250 ks (or 3 and 7 planet rotations)...
