The 2019 outburst of AMXP SAX J1808.4–3658 and radio follow up of MAXI J0911–655 and XTE J1701–462
- Abstract:
- We present radio coverage of the 2019 outburst of the accreting millisecond X-ray pulsar (AMXP) SAX J1808.4–3658, obtained with MeerKAT. We compare these data to contemporaneous X-ray and optical measurements in order to investigate the coupling between accretion and jet formation in this system, while the optical light curve provides greater detail of the outburst. The reflaring activity following the main outburst peak was associated with a radio re-brightening, indicating a strengthening of the jet in this phase of the outburst. We place quasi-simultaneous radio and X-ray measurements on the global radio:X-ray plane for X-ray binaries, and show they reside in the same region of luminosity space as previous outburst measurements, but significantly refine the correlation for this source. We also present upper limits on the radio emission from the AMXP MAXI J0911–655 and the transitional Z/Atoll-type transient XTE J1701–462. In the latter source, we also confirm that nearby large-scale structures reported in previous radio observations of the source are persistent over a period of ∼15 yr, and so are almost certainly background radio galaxies and not associated with the X-ray transient.
