BlackCAT: A catalogue of stellar-mass black holes in X-ray transients
Jesus M. Corral-Santana,Jorge Casares,Jorge Casares,Teo Muñoz-Darias,Teo Muñoz-Darias,Franz E. Bauer,Franz E. Bauer,Franz E. Bauer,I. G. Martínez-Pais,I. G. Martínez-Pais,David M. Russell +10 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the population of black holes in X-ray transients as a whole has been studied and the most updated catalogue of black hole transients is presented, together with their astrometric and dynamical properties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamical Evidence for a Black Hole in GX 339-4
Robert I. Hynes,Robert I. Hynes,Danny Steeghs,Danny Steeghs,Jorge Casares,P. A. Charles,Kieran O'Brien,Kieran O'Brien +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an outburst spectroscopy of GX 339-4 was presented to reveal the motion of its elusive companion star, which may indicate shielding by a variable accretion geometry such as a warp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Groot,Pasi Hakala,Ulrich Kolb,S. P. Littlefair,I. G. Martínez-Pais,I. G. Martínez-Pais,Gijs Nelemans,Matthias R. Schreiber +19 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the properties of 137 cataclysmic variables (CVs) which are included in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) spectroscopic data base, and for which accurate orbital periods have been measured.
Journal ArticleDOI
Peering into the Dark Side: Magnesium Lines Establish a Massive Neutron Star in PSR J2215+5135
TL;DR: In this article, a series of optical spectroscopic and photometric observations of PSR J2215+5135, a "redback" binary MSP in a 4.14 hr orbit, and measure a drastic temperature contrast between the dark/cold (T N = 5660 K) and bright/hot (T D = 8080 K) sides of the companion star.
Journal ArticleDOI
A possible black hole in the γ-ray microquasar LS 5039
Jorge Casares,M. Ribó,M. Ribó,Ignasi Ribas,J. M. Paredes,Josep Martí,Artemio Herrero,Artemio Herrero +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, an intermediate-dispersion spectroscopy of the microquasar LS 5039 is presented, which, combined with values reported in the literature, provides an orbital period of P orb = 3.906 3.000 17 d, a mass function f(M) = 0.0053 ± 0.0009 M ○.
