New radio observations of Circinus X-1

Astrophysics 2009-10-30 v1

Abstract

New radio observations of the radio-jet X-ray binary Circinus X-1 over nearly an entire 16.6-day orbit are presented. The source continues to undergo radio flaring in the phase interval 0.0 - 0.2 and appears to be brightening since observations in the early 1990s. The radio flux density is well correlated with simultaneous soft X-ray monitoring from the XTE ASM, including a secondary flare event around phases 0.6 --0.8 observed at both energies.
