Cygnus X-1—a Spectroscopic Binary with a Heavy Companion ?
B. Louise Webster,Paul Murdin +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the spectrum, colours and interstellar features in the star HD 226868, which is coincident with the X-ray star Cygnus X-1 and a radio star, were those of a normal BOIb supergiant.
Book
Encyclopedia of Astronomy and Astrophysics
TL;DR: In this article, a collaboration between the Institute of Physics Publishing and Macmillan Reference Ltd presents an extensive and comprehensive reference on astronomy and astrophysics, which should be of interest to undergraduates, graduate students, researchers and professionals, as well as to committed amateurs, librarians and lay people.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optical properties of active galaxies with ultra-soft X-ray spectra
E. M. Puchnarewicz,Keith O. Mason,F. A. Cordova,J. Kartje,J. Kartje,Graziella Branduardi-Raymont,J. P. D. Mittaz,Paul Murdin,Jeremy R. Allington-Smith +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the optical properties of a sample of active galactic nuclei (AGN) which exhibit an ultra-soft X-ray excess are examined, from which continuum and line parameters are measured, including fluxes, line FWHM and equivalent widths.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Lambda Orionis association
Paul Murdin,M. V. Penston +1 more
TL;DR: The Lambda Orionis association has the photometric properties of a typical young cluster with an age of about 4 million years as discussed by the authors, and its distance is 400 + or - 40 pc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Detection of optical pulses from the Vela pulsar
P. T. Wallace,Bruce A. Peterson,Paul Murdin,I. J. Danziger,Richard N. Manchester,Andrew Lyne,W. M. Goss,F. G. Smith,M. J. Disney,K. F. Hartley,D. H. P. Jones,G. W. Wellgate +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, double pulses were detected from an area which included Lasker's 1 star M. The pulsed emission has a time-averaged blue magnitude of approximately 25.2 min.
