Compact radio emission in Ultraluminous X-ray sources
We present results from our studies of radio emission from selected Ultraluminous X-ray (ULX) sources, using archival Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT)...
Constraining the properties of neutron star crusts with the transient low-mass X-ray binary Aql X-1
Aql X-1 is a prolific transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary that exhibits an accretion outburst approximately once every year. Whether the thermal X-rays...
Continuous infrared winds discovered during the eruption of a stellar mass black hole
A team of researchers from the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) has detected for the first time the constant infrared emission from winds produced...
Contribution of a disc component to single-peaked broad lines of active galactic nuclei
We study the disc emission component hidden in the single-peaked broad emission lines (BELs) of active galactic nuclei. We compare the observed broad lines from...
Contribution of the disk emission to the broad emission lines in AGNs: Two-component model
We present an investigation of the structure of the emission line region in a sample of 12 single-peaked Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs). Using the high...
Cooling of the quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transients KS 1731-260 and MXB 1659-29
We present Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray observations that monitor the neutron star cooling of the quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transients KS 1731-260 and...
CoRoT photometry and high-resolution spectroscopy of the interacting eclipsing binary AU Monocerotis
Analyses of very accurate CoRoT space photometry, past Johnson V photoelectric photometry and high-resolution echelle spectra led to the determination of...
Correlated optical/X-ray long-term variability in LMXB 4U 1636-536
We have conducted a 3-month programme of simultaneous optical, soft and hard X-ray monitoring of the LMXB 4U 1636-536/V801 Ara using the SMARTS 1.3-m telescope...
Correlated X-Ray and Optical Variability in V404 Cygni in Quiescence
We report simultaneous X-ray and optical observations of V404 Cyg in quiescence. The X-ray flux varied dramatically by a factor of >~20 during a 60 ks...
