MAXI J1659โ152: the shortest orbital period black-hole transient in outburst
MAXI J1659โ152 is a bright X-ray transient black-hole candidate binary system discovered in September 2010. We report here on MAXI, RXTE, Swift, and XMM-Newton observations during its 2010/2011 outburst. We find that during the first one and a half week of the outburst the X-ray light curves display drops in โฆ
