Multicolour observations of V404Cyg with ULTRACAM
We present high time-resolution multicolour observations of the quiescent soft Xray transient V404Cyg obtained with ULTRACAM . Superimposed on the secondary star’s ellipsoidal modulation are large flares on timescales of a few hours, as well as several distinct rapid flares on timescales of tens of mins. The rapid flares, most of which show further variability and unresolved peaks, cover shorte...
متن کاملHα Flares from V404 Cyg in Quiescence
We present a spectrophotometric study of short-term optical variability in the quiescent black hole X-ray transient V404 Cyg. This includes two nights of high timeresolution Hα spectroscopy with which we resolve much of the time-variability, and a further six nights of archival spectroscopy with lower time-resolution but higher spectral-resolution. We find significant variability in most of the...
متن کاملSwift observations of V404 Cyg during the 2015 outburst: X-ray outflows from super-Eddington accretion
The black-hole binary V404 Cyg entered the outburst phase in June 2015 after 26 years of X-ray quiescence, and with its behaviour broke the outburst evolution pattern typical of most black-hole binaries. We observed the entire outburst with the Swift satellite and performed time-resolved spectroscopy of its most active phase, obtaining over a thousand spectra with exposures from tens to hundred...
متن کاملThe Quiescent Spectral Energy Distribution of V404 Cyg
We present a multiwavelength study of the black hole X-ray binary V404 Cyg in quiescence, focusing upon the spectral energy distribution (SED). Radio, optical, UV, and X-ray coverage is simultaneous. We supplement the SED with additional non-simultaneous data in the optical through infrared where necessary. The compiled SED is the most complete available for this, the X-ray and radio brightest ...
متن کاملSteps towards a solution of the FS Aurigae puzzle . I . Multicolour high - speed photometry with ULTRACAM
We present the analysis of high-speed photometric observations of FSAur taken with the 4.2-m William Herschel Telescope and the high-speed camera ULTRACAM in late 2003. These observations were intended to determine whether there was any evidence of photometric variability with a period in the range 50–100 seconds. The discovery of such variations would help to explain existence, in FS Aur, of t...
