Probing the early Universe with gravitational Wave Background
We will review both theoretical and obsevational aspects of gravitational wave backgrounds of cosmological origin. We will present a classifcation of...
Properties of OB star-black hole systems derived from detailed binary evolution models
Context. The recent gravitational wave measurements have demonstrated the existence of stellar mass black hole binaries. It is essential for our understanding...
Quiescent NIR and optical counterparts to candidate black hole X-ray binaries
We present near-infrared and optical imaging of 15 candidate black hole X-ray binaries. In addition to quiescent observations for all sources, we also observed...
Following the detection of renewed activity in H1743-322 with Swift/BAT (Krimm et al., ATEL #2058), we triggered radio observations of the source using the VLA...
Radio Continuum Studies of Ultracompact and Short Orbital Period X-Ray Binaries
We present the radio continuum counterparts to the enigmatic ultracompact X-ray binaries (UCXBs): a black hole or neutron star accreting from a hydrogen...
RAFFAELLA MORGANTI: “La primera imagen de un agujero negro ha sido un hito muy importante para la Astrofísica"
La Radioastronomía es una de las ramas de la Astrofísica observacional que ha experimentado un mayor crecimiento en los últimos años. Para estudiar el Universo...
We continued our Swift-XRT monitoring of the new very-faint X-ray source XMMSL1 J171900.4-353217 [ATel #2607, #2656]. Two new observations were obtained on Jun...
Recent Chandra and Swift Observations of New X-ray Transients in M31
We report recent observations of M31 taken with Chandra/ACIS-I on 2009-05-29.1 UT and with Swift/XRT on 2009-06-07.08 UT. In the 4ks Chandra/ACIS-I image, we...
Renewed activity of the very faint X-ray transient CXOGC J174535.5-290124 and continued activity of the neutron-star X-ray transient SAX J1747.0-2853
On 8-9 September 2006, a series of 7 XMM-Newton observations were performed as part of our XMM-Newton/Chandra monitoring campaign of the 1.7 square degree...
