Searching for the signatures of jet-ISM interactions in X-ray binaries (2008)
Miller-Jones, James, Kaiser, Christian, Maccarone, Tom, Fender, Rob, Kapińska, Anna, Gunn, Katherine, ...
Jets from X-ray binaries are continuously injecting matter and energy into the surrounding interstellar medium (ISM). However, there exist to date relatively few cases where jet-ISM interactions have...
Energisation of interstellar media and cosmic ray production by jets from X-ray binaries (2005)
Fender, Rob, Maccarone, Tom, Van Kesteren, Zdenko
Drawing on recent estimates of the power of jets from X-ray binary systems as a function of X-ray luminosity, combined with improved estimates of the relevant Log(N)-Log(L_X) luminosity functions, we...
Zwart, Simon Portegies, Dewi, Jasinta, Maccarone, Tom
We study the origin of the ultraluminous X-ray source M82-X1 in the nearby starburst galaxy M82. This X-ray source is of particular interest as it is currently the best candidate intermediate mass...
A transient large-scale relativistic radio jet from GX 339-4 (2003)
Gallo, Elena, Corbel, Stephane, Fender, Rob, Maccarone, Tom, Tzioumis, Tasso
We report on the formation and evolution of a large-scale, synchrotron-emitting jet from the black hole candidate and X-ray binary system GX 339-4. In 2002 May, the source moved from a low/hard to a...
High energy emission from microquasars (2003)
The microquasar phenomenon is associated with the production of jets by X-ray binaries and, as such, may be associated with the majority of such systems. In this chapter we briefly outline the...
The Low-Mass X-ray Binary-Globular Cluster connection in NGC 4472 (2002)
Kundu, Arunav, Maccarone, Tom, Zepf, Steve
We have analyzed the low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) candidates in a Chandra observation of the giant elliptical galaxy NGC 4472. In a region observed by the Hubble Space Telescope, approximately 40% of...
