Links between optical and X-ray light in Scorpius X-1 (2023)
Journal Article
Igl, A. B., Hynes, R. I., Britt, C. T., O’Brien, K. S., & Mikles, V. J. (2023). Links between optical and X-ray light in Scorpius X-1. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 526(1), 645–660. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2721

We observed the low-mass X-ray binary Sco X-1 for 12 nights simultaneously using the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer and the Otto Struve Telescope at McDonald Observatory at 1-s time-resolution. This is among the most comprehensive simultaneous X-Ray/opt... Read More about Links between optical and X-ray light in Scorpius X-1.

Sub-second infrared variability from the archetypal accreting neutron star 4U 1728−34 (2023)
Journal Article
Vincentelli, F. M., Casella, P., Borghese, A., Cavecchi, Y., Mastroserio, G., Stella, L., …Uttley, P. (2023). Sub-second infrared variability from the archetypal accreting neutron star 4U 1728−34. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 525(2), 2509-2518. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stad2414

We report on the first simultaneous high-time resolution X-ray and infrared (IR) observations of a neutron star low mass X-ray binary in its hard state. We performed ≈ 2 h of simultaneous observations of 4U 1728−34 using HAWK-I@VLT, XMM– Newton, and...
