Optical observations of the X-ray Transient XTE J1118+480
Time resolved (40-sec resolution, ~6-hours per night), R-band photometry of the outbursting black hole candidate XTE J1118+480 (ATEL #383) was obtained with the...
Optical observations of ultraluminous X-ray sources
We report recent observational results of some ULXs collected with the 8.2m Subaru and with the ESO VLT telescopes. These observations have provided important...
We report YALO consortium observations using the Yale 1-m telescope at CTIO and observations with the 48" telescope at the Whipple Observatory: Aql X-1 = V1333...
Optical Outburst of the Halo Black Hole X-ray Transient XTE J1118+480
We report the discovery of a new outburst of the black hole X-ray transient XTE J1118+480 (IAUC #7418, ATEL#64, #67). Observations carried out with the 0.8m...
The JEM-X Signal Multiplexing Systems are large HURA codes "written" in a pure tungsten plate 0.5 mm thick. 24.247 hexagonal pixels (25% open) are spread over a...
