X-ray Binaries Behave Like Cardiff Buses - the Proof !
in
After success last week in spotting an X-ray Binary (XRB) going into outburst, the FT Team and their collaborators have discovered another such system, Aquila X-1, also brightening dramatically.
Again, they were able to alert the wider astronomical community to this event, and if their theory that these outbursts are like buses (none for ages, then loads all at once !), they may well have more to report soon.
The FT Team has collaborated on many research projects with scientists from all over the world, and the results of their work can be seen in the Research Showcase
