During the study of a large set of late-type stellar X-ray sources, we discovered a large fraction of multiple systems. In this paper we investigate the orbital elements and kinematic properties of three new spectroscopic triple systems as well as spectral types and astrophysical parameters (T_eff, log g, vsin i, log N(Li)) of their components. We conducted follow-up optical observations, both photometric and spectroscopic at high resolution, of these systems. We used a synthetic approach and the cross-correlation method to derive most of the stellar parameters. We estimated reliable radial velocities and deduced the orbital elements of the inner binaries. The comparison of the observed spectra with synthetic composite ones, obtained as the weighted sum of three spectra of non-active reference stars, allowed us to determine the stellar parameters for each component of these systems. We found all are only composed of main sequence stars. These three systems are certainly stable hierarchical triples composed of short-period inner binaries plus a tertiary component in a long-period orbit. From their kinematics and/or Lithium content, these systems result to be fairly young.

We present preliminary results of follow-up optical observations, both photometric and spectroscopic, of stellar X-ray sources, selected from the cross-correlation of ROSAT All-Sky Survey (RASS) and TYCHO catalogues. Spectra were acquired with the El
odie spectrograph at the 193-cm telescope of the Haute Provence Observatory (OHP) and with the REOSC echelle spectrograph at the 91-cm telescope of the Catania Astrophysical Observatory (OAC), while UBV photometry was made at OAC with the same telescope. In this work, we report on the discovery of six late-type binaries, for which we have obtained good radial velocity curves and solved for their orbits. Thanks to the OHP and OAC spectra, we have also made a spectral classification of single-lined binaries and we could give first estimates of the spectral types of the double-lined binaries. Filled-in or pure emission H-alpha profiles, indicative of moderate or high level of chromospheric activity, have been observed. We have also detected, in near all the systems, a photometric modulation ascribable to photospheric surface inhomogeneities which is correlated with the orbital period, suggesting a synchronization between rotational and orbital periods. For some systems has been also detected a variation of H-alpha line intensity, with a possible phase-dependent behavior.
The cross-correlation between the ROSAT all-sky survey (~150000 sources) and the Tycho mission (~1000000 stars) catalogs has selected about 14000 stellar X-ray sources (RasTyc sample, Guillout et al. 1999). About 200-300 stars have been spectroscopic
ally observed at high resolution both in the Halpha and LiI lambda-6708 regions with Elodie and Aurelie spectrographs of the OHP (Observatoire de lHaute Provence, France). The aim was to classify the RasTyc star sample in terms of age and chromospheric activity level and to detect eventual binary systems. Photometric and spectroscopic follow-up observations of a RasTyc sub-sample composed of particularly interesting objects (binaries and very young stars) has been performed with the 91-cm telescope of the Catania Astrophysical Observatory. In this work we present some results of this monitoring. In particular, we have obtained good radial velocity curves and solved for the orbits of three SB2 and three SB1 spectroscopic binaries. In addition, for near all sources we have detected a photometric modulation ascribable to photospheric surface inhomogeneities and chromospheric Halpha line variation.
We present results from our X-ray analysis of the first systematic search for triple AGN in nearby (z<0.077) triple galaxy mergers. We analyze archival Chandra observations of 7 triple galaxy mergers with BAYMAX (Bayesian Analysis of Multiple AGN in
X-rays), fitting each observation with single, dual, and triple X-ray point source models. In doing so, we conclude that 1 triple merger has one X-ray point source (SDSS J0858+1822, although its unlikely to be an AGN); 5 triple mergers are likely composed of two X-ray point sources (NGC 3341, SDSS J1027+1749, SDSS J1631+2352, SDSS J1708+2153, and SDSS J2356$-$1016); and one system is composed of three X-ray point sources (SDSS J0849+1114). By fitting the individual X-ray spectra of each point source, we analyze the 2-7 keV luminosities as well as the levels of obscuration associated with each potential AGN. We find that 4/5 dual X-ray point source systems have primary and secondary point sources with bright X-ray luminosities (L_2-7 kev >10^40 erg s^-1), possibly associated with 4 new undetected dual AGN. The dual and triple point source systems are found to have physical separations between 3-9 kpc and flux ratios between 2x10^-3 - 0.84. A multi-wavelength analysis to determine the origin of the X-ray point sources discovered in this work is presented in our companion paper (Foord et al. 2020c).
We use deep Chandra observations to measure the emissivity of the unresolved X-ray emission in the elliptical galaxy NGC 3379. After elimination of bright, low-mass X-ray binaries with luminosities >10^{36 erg/sec, we find that the remaining unresolv
ed X-ray emission is characterized by an emissivity per unit stellar mass L_x/M_stars ~8.2x10^{27} erg/s/M_sun in the 0.5-2 keV energy band. This value is in good agreement with those previousely determined for the dwarf elliptical galaxy M32, the bulge of the spiral galaxy M31 and the Milky Way, as well as with the integrated X-ray emissivity of cataclysmic variables and coronally active binaries in the Solar neighborhood. This strongly suggests that i) the bulk of the unresolved X-ray emission in NGC 3379 is produced by its old stellar population and ii) the old stellar populations in all galaxies can be characterized by a universal value of X-ray emissivity per unit stellar mass or per unit K band luminosity.
We review the likely population, observational properties, and broad implications of stellar-mass black holes and ultraluminous x-ray sources. We focus on the clear empirical rules connecting accretion and outflow that have been established for stell
ar-mass black holes in binary systems in the past decade and a half. These patterns of behavior are probably the keys that will allow us to understand black hole feedback on the largest scales over cosmological time scales.
