A new look at the origin of the 6.67\,hr period X-ray pulsar 1E~161348-5055

N. R. Ikhsanov, V. Y. Kim, N. G. Beskrovnaya +1

The point X-ray source 1E 161348-5055 is observed to display pulsations with the period 6.67 hr and |\dot{P}| \leq 1.6 x 10^{-9} s/s. It is associated with the supernova remnant RC…

On the spin-down mechanism of the X-ray pulsar 4U 2206+54

N. R. Ikhsanov, N. G. Beskrovnaya

Observations of the X-ray pulsar 4U 2206+54, performed over a 15-year span, show its period, which is now 5555 \pm 9 s, to increase drastically. Such behavior of the pulsar can be…

Magnetically controlled accretion onto a black hole

N. R. Ikhsanov, L. A. Pustil'nik, N. G. Beskrovnaya

An accretion scenario in which the material captured by a black hole from its environment is assumed to be magnetized (β~ 1) is discussed. We show that the accretion picture in thi…

MOJAVE: Monitoring of Jets in Active Galactic Nuclei with VLBA Experiments. IX. Nuclear opacity

A. B. Pushkarev, T. Hovatta, Y. Y. Kovalev +4

We have investigated a frequency-dependent shift in the absolute position of the optically thick apparent origin of parsec-scale jets ("core shift" effect) to probe physical condit…

Multi-wavelength observations of blazar AO 0235+164 in the 2008-2009 flaring state

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, J. Ballet +208

The blazar AO 0235+164 (z = 0.94) has been one of the most active objects observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since its launch in Summer 2008. In addition to the continuou…

Burst Fluence Distributions of Soft Gamma Repeaters 1806-20 and 1900+14 in the RXTE PCA era

Zachary Prieskorn, Philip Kaaret

We study the fluence distributions of over 3040 bursts from SGR 1806-20 and over 1963 bursts from SGR 1900+14 using the complete set of observations available from the Rossi X-Ray…
