The future large telescope for the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos will have a 10 m diameter segmented primary made of hexagonal elements (similar to...
Optical Counterpart of the Millisecond Pulsar XTE J1751-305
We have obtained I-band images for the new accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1751-305 (IAUC#7867,#7870,#7872,#7874,#7876) with the 6.5-m Baade telescope and the...
Optical counterpart of the XTE J0929-314 in quiescence: constraints on the magnetic field
We present VLT observations of the optical counterpart of th X-ray millisecond pulsar XTE J0929-314 in quiescence. We detected a very faint candidate in...
Following the recent report of a possible radio counterpart to the X-ray transient IGR J17098-3628 (ATEL #490), we re-investigated our Magellan I-band exposures...
