AbstractWise mapped the entire sky in four bands during its approximately 7-month cryogenic mission. The number of exposures for each point on the sky increased with ecliptic latitude, and ranged from ~12 on the ecliptic to over 1000 at the ecliptic poles. The observing cadence is well suited to studying variable objects with periods between ~2 hours to ~2 days on the ecliptic, with the maximum period increasing up to several weeks near the ecliptic poles. We present the method used to identify several types of variables in the Wise Preliminary Release Database, and the mid-IR light curves of several objects. Many of these objects are new, and include RR Lyr, Algol, W UMa, Mira, BL Lac and YSO-type variables, as well as some unknown objects.

AbstractWe present new JHK photometry of the Be/X-ray binary L SI +61 303, obtained during the period 1994-1998. The IR light curves do not show the modulation with the orbital period apparently present in the smaller photometry set analyzed by Paredes et al. (1994).The reddening-corrected standard photometric values indicate that the circumstellar envelope is optically thick at infrared wavelengths, and much denser than those of isolated Be stars. It is argued that this higher density is produced by disk truncation due to the presence of the compact object in a close orbit.

ABSTRACT We report on the discovery of Swift J004516.6–734703, a Be/X-ray binary system by the Swift SMC Survey, S-CUBED. Swift J004516.6–734703, or SXP 146.6, was found to be exhibiting a bright (∼1037 erg s−1) X-ray outburst on 2020 June 18. The historical UV and IR light-curves from OGLE and Swift/UVOT showed that after a long period of steady brightness, it experienced a significant brightening beginning around 2019 March. This IR/UV rise is likely the signature of the formation of a circumstellar disc, confirmed by the presence of strong an H α line in SALT spectroscopy, that was not previously present. Periodicity analysis of the OGLE data reveals a plausible 426 d binary period, and in X-ray a pulsation period of 146.6 s is detected. The onset of X-ray emission from Swift J004516.6–734703 is likely the signature of a Type-I outburst from the first periastron passage of the neutron star companion through the newly formed circumstellar disc. We note that the formation of the circumstellar disc began at the predicted time of the previous periastron passage, suggesting its formation was spurred by tidal interaction with the neutron star.

AbstractSymbiotic Miras are identified by their infrared characteristics. It is shown how an understanding of the evolutionary position of normal Mira variables together with the empirically established period luminosity relation can be used to derive various physical parameters for similar objects in symbiotic systems. The pulsation periods of symbiotic Miras measured so far fall between 280 and 580 days, their ages must be in the 5–10 Gyr range while main sequence masses of the order 1 to 1.5 M⊙ are indicated. The obscuration events seen in the IR light curves of several symbiotic Miras are highlighted as potentially important and possible causes are discussed.

ABSTRACT We present the results regarding the analysis of the fast X-ray/infrared (IR) variability of the black hole transient MAXI J1535−571. The data studied in this work consist of two strictly simultaneous observations performed with XMM–Newton (X-rays: 0.7–10 keV), VLT/HAWK-I (Ks band, 2.2 μm) and VLT/VISIR (M and PAH2_2 bands, 4.85 and 11.88 μm, respectively). The cross-correlation function between the X-ray and near-IR light curves shows a strong asymmetric anticorrelation dip at positive lags. We detect a near-IR QPO (2.5σ) at 2.07 ± 0.09 Hz simultaneously with an X-ray QPO at approximately the same frequency (f0 = 2.25 ± 0.05). From the cross-spectral analysis, a lag consistent with zero was measured between the two oscillations. We also measure a significant correlation between the average near-IR and mid-IR fluxes during the second night, but find no correlation on short time-scales. We discuss these results in terms of the two main scenarios for fast IR variability (hot inflow and jet powered by internal shocks). In both cases, our preliminary modelling suggests the presence of a misalignment between the disc and jet.

In the stellar forming region NGC 2264 there are objects catalogued as hosting a transitional disk according to spectrum modeling. Four members of this set have optical and infrared light curves coming from the CoRoT and Spitzer telescopes. In this work, we try to simultaneously explain the light curves using the extinction of the stellar radiation and the emission of the dust inside the hole of a transitional disk. For the object Mon-296, we were successful. However, for Mon-314, and Mon-433 our evidence suggests that they host a pre-transitional disk. For Mon-1308 a new spectrum fitting using the 3D radiative transfer code Hyperion allows us to conclude that this object hosts a full disk instead of a transitional disk. This is in accord to previous work on Mon-1308 and with the fact that we cannot find a fit for the light curves using only the contribution of the dust inside the hole of a transitional disk.
