Journal Article
Knight, A. H., van den Eijnden, J., Ingram, A., Matthews, J. H., Motta, S. E., Middleton, M., Mancuso, G. C., Buisson, D. J., Altamirano, D., Fender, R., & Roberts, T. P. (2025). Type I X-ray burst emission reflected into the eclipses of EXO 0748−676. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 538(3), 2058-2074. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/staf395

The neutron star X-ray binary, EXO 0748−676, was observed regularly by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and XMM–Newton during its first detected outburst (1985–2008). These observations captured hundreds of asymmetric, energy-dependent X-ray ec... Read More about Type I X-ray burst emission reflected into the eclipses of EXO 0748−676.

Long-term optical variations in Swift J1858.6-0814: evidence for ablation and comparisons to radio properties (2024)
Journal Article
Rhodes, L., Russell, D. M., Saikia, P., Alabarta, K., Van Den Eijnden, J., Knight, A. H., Baglio, M. C., & Lewis, F. (2025). Long-term optical variations in Swift J1858.6-0814: evidence for ablation and comparisons to radio properties. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 536(4), 3421-3430. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stae2755

We present optical monitoring of the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Swift J1858.6-0814 during its 2018-2020 outburst and subsequent quiescence. We find that there was strong optical variability present throughout the entire outburst period covere...
