We report on optical and near-infrared observations obtained during and after the 2004 December discovery outburst of the X-ray transient and accretion-powered millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934. Our observations monitored the evolution of the …

The 2005 Outburst of the Halo Black Hole X-Ray Transient XTE J1118+480

We present optical and infrared monitoring of the 2005 outburst of the halo black hole X-ray transient XTE J1118+480. We measured a total outburst amplitude of åisebox-0.5ex 5.7+/-0.1 mag in the R band and i̊sebox-0.5ex 5 mag in the infrared J, H, …

Results of a search for new microquasars in the Galaxy

We present here the results of a search for new microquasars at low galactic latitudes, based on a cross-identification between the ROSAT all sky Bright Source Catalog (RBSC) and the NRAO VLA Sky Survey (NVSS) and follow-up observations. The results …
