Miller-Jones, James C. A., Strader, Jay, Heinke, Craig O., Maccarone, Thomas J., van den Berg, Maureen, Knigge, C., Chomiuk, Laura, Noyola, Eva, Russell, Thomas D., Seth, Anil C., Sivakoff, Gregory Robert
We report the detection of steady radio emission from the known X-ray source X9 in the globular cluster 47 Tuc. With a double-peaked C IV emission line in its ultraviolet spectrum providing a clear signature of accretion, this source had been previously classified as a cataclysmic variable. In...

To confirm the nature of the donor star in the ultracompact X-ray binary candidate 47 Tuc X9, we obtained optical spectra (3000–10 000 Å) with the Hubble Space Telescope / Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph. We find no strong emission or absorption features in the spectrum of X9. In particular,...

Beardmore, A. P., Willingale, R., Kuulkers, E., Altamirano, Diego, Motta, S. E., Osborne, J. P., Page, Kim L., Sivakoff, Gregory Robert
On 2015 June 15, the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cygni went into outburst, exhibiting extreme X-ray variability which culminated in a final flare on June 26. Over the following days, the Swift-X-ray Telescope detected a series of bright rings, comprising five main components that expanded and...

47 Tuc X9 is a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) in the globular cluster 47 Tucanae, and was previously thought to be a cataclysmic variable. However, Miller-Jones et al. recently identified a radio counterpart to X9 (inferring a radio/X-ray luminosity ratio consistent with black hole LMXBs), and...
