We report strict upper limits to the radio luminosities of three neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries obtained with the Very Large Array while they were in hard X-ray states as observed with the...
CI Cam: A Shell-shocked X-ray Nova (2004)
Mioduszewski, Amy J., Rupen, Michael P.
We present radio imaging observations of the 1998 outburst of the peculiar emission line star CI Cam, taken about 1, 4, 75, 82, 93, 163, and 306 days after the beginning of the 31.64 March 1998 X-ray...
Chu, You-Hua, Gruendl, Robert A., Stockdale, Christopher J., Rupen, Michael P., Cowan, John J., Teare, Scott W.
The nature of SN 1961V has been uncertain. Its peculiar optical light curve and slow expansion velocity are similar to those of super-outbursts of luminous blue variables (LBVs), but its nonthermal...
Time-sequenced Multi-Radio-Frequency Observations of Cygnus X-3 in Flare (2003)
Blundell, Katherine M., Rupen, Michael P., Mioduszewski, Amy J., Duffy, Peter, Beasley, Anthony J.
Multifrequency observations from the VLA, VLBA and OVRO Millimeter Array of a major radio outburst of Cygnus X-3 in 2001 September are presented, measuring the evolution of the spectrum of the source...
Chandra Detections of Two Quiescent Black Hole X-Ray Transients (2003)
