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...
Optical photometry and Halpha Spectroscopy of SWIFT J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057
We report on optical photometry and spectroscopy of the black hole X-ray transient Swift J1910.2-0546/MAXI J1910-057 (Krimm at al. ATel #4139, Usui et al. ATel...
Optical photometry and morphology of radio galaxies.
The authors report preliminary results on the optical properties (morphology, surface-brightness profiles, surface-brightness/size relationships, ellipticities...
Optical photometry and polarimetry of GX 339-4 during its outburst rise
GX 339-4 is currently brightening at X-ray, UV, optical and radio frequencies (ATel #1945, #1954, #1960). Our monitoring campaign with the Faulkes Telescope...
Optical photometry and spectroscopy of HETE J1900.1-2544
We report optical photometry and spectroscopy of the candidate optical/NIR counterpart (ATEL #526, #533) to the millisecond X-ray pulsar HETE J1900.1-2455 (ATEL...
We performed BVRi imaging of the Neutron Star X-ray Binary MAXI J1647-227 (Negoro et al., ATEL #4175; Kennea et al., ATEL #4178, #4192) with the 2.5 m Nordic...
