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...

We present the results of Very Large Array, Australia Telescope Compact Array, and Swift X-ray Telescope observations of the 2015 outburst of the transient neutron star X-ray binary (NSXB), EXO 1745−248, located in the globular cluster Terzan 5. Combining (near-) simultaneous radio and X-ray...

The paper “Disc-Jet Coupling in the Terzan 5 Neutron Star X-ray Binary EXO 1745−248” was published as Tetarenko et al. 2016, MNRAS, 460, 345–355. In Section 3.3 of the paper there is a minor error in equation (1). The correct equation is as follows, (logLR−logLR,c)=logξ+β(logLX−logLX,c). (1) The...

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,...

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...
