The disc-jet coupling in Aql X-1

International Conference Recent Advances in Natural Language Processing, RANLP (2008)

Authors:

V Tudose, R Fender, M Linares, D Maitra

Abstract:

We present a multiwavelength analysis of the outbursts from the neutron star X-ray binary Aql X-1. We focus on three outbursts for which quasi-simultaneous data in radio, optical and Xray bands exist. We find evidence that the disc/jet coupling in Aql X-1 is similar to the one documented for black hole X-ray binaries, at least from the point of view of the general behaviour revealed during outbursts. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.

X-ray jets from the X-ray binary cir X-1

Abstract:

We present the results of the analysis of two Chandra observations of Circinus X-1 performed in 2007, for a total exposure time of ∼50 ks. The source was observed with the High Resolution Camera during a long X-ray low-flux state of the source. Cir X-1 is an accreting neutron-star binary system that exhibits ultra-relativistic arcsec-scale radio jets and an extended arcmin-scale radio nebula. Furthermore, a recent paper has shown an X-ray excess on arcmin-scale prominent on the side of the receding radio jet. In our images we clearly detect X-ray structures both on the side of the receding and the approaching radio jet. The X-ray emission is consistent with being from synchrotron origin. Our detection is consistent with neutron-star binaries being as efficient as black-hole binaries in producing X-ray outflows, despite their shallower gravitational potential. © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence.
