Precise Interplanetary Network Localization of the Bursting Pulsar GRO J1744-28
K. Hurley, C. Kouveliotou, T. Cline +8
We analyze 426 observations of the bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28 by Ulysses and BATSE. Triangulating each burst, and statistically combining the triangulation annuli, we obtain a 3…

E. D. Reese, J. J. Mohr, J. E. Carlstrom +7
We determine the distances to the z~0.55 galaxy clusters MS 0451.6-0305 and CL 0016+16 from a maximum likelihood joint fit to interferometric Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect (SZE) and X-…

S. W. Dieters, T. Belloni, E. Kuulkers +8
We report on the evolution of the timing of 4U1630-47 during its 1998 outburst using data obtained with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The count rate and position in hardn…
Identification of a Likely Radio Counterpart of the Rapid Burster
C. B. Moore, R. E. Rutledge, D. W. Fox +4
We have identified a likely radio counterpart to the low-mass X-ray binary MXB 1730-335 (the Rapid Burster). The counterpart has shown 8.4 GHz radio on/off behavior correlated with…
Hard X-ray detection of the high redshift quasar 4C 71.07
A. Malizia, L. Bassani, A. J. Dean +3
BATSE/OSSE observations of the high redshift quasar 4C 71.07 indicate that this is the brightest and furthest AGN so far detected above 20 keV. BATSE Earth occultation data have be…
Re-observing the EUV emission from Abell 2199: in-situ measurement of background distribution by offset pointing
R. Lieu, M. Bonamente, J. P. D. Mittaz +3
The EUV excess emission from the clusters A2199 and A1795 remains an unexplained astrophysical phenomenon. There has been many unsuccessful attempts to `trivialize' the findings. I…
Discovery of a ~1 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation in the low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1746-37
Peter G. Jonker, Michiel van der Klis, Jeroen Homan +5
We have discovered a ~1 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the persistent X-ray emission and during type I X-ray bursts of the globular cluster source, dipper and low-mass X-ra…
Statistical properties of SGR 1900+14 bursts
Ersin Gogus, Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou +4
We study the statistics of soft gamma repeater (SGR) bursts, using a data base of 187 events detected with BATSE and 837 events detected with RXTE PCA, all from SGR 1900+14 during…
Hard Burst Emission from the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1900+14
Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Jan van Paradijs +7
We present evidence for burst emission from SGR 1900+14 with a power-law high energy spectrum extending beyond 500 keV. Unlike previous detections of high energy photons during bur…
The Timing Properties of Sco X-1 along its Z track as seen with EXOSAT
Stefan W. Dieters, Michiel van der Klis
We present a systematic, homogeneous analysis of all the EXOSAT ME, high time resolution data on Sco X-1. We investigate all power spectral properties of the 100 Hz quasi-period…
ASCA Observation of the quiescent X-ray counterpart to SGR1627-41
K. Hurley, T. Strohmayer, P. Li +9
We present a 2 - 10 keV ASCA observation of the field around the soft gamma repeater SGR1627-41. A quiescent X-ray source was detected in this observation whose position was consis…
Observations of a possible new soft gamma repeater, SGR1801-23
T. Cline, D. D. Frederiks, S. Golenetskii +4
We report on two observations of a soft bursting source in 1997 June, whose time histories and energy spectra are consistent with those of the soft gamma repeaters. The source can…
Evidence for Doppler-Shifted Iron Emission Lines in Black Hole Candidate 4U 1630-47
Wei Cui, Wan Chen, S. N. Zhang
We report the first detection of a pair of correlated emission lines in the X-ray spectrum of black hole candidate 4U 1630-47 during its 1996 outburst, based on RXTE observations o…
Cosmological versus Intrinsic: The Correlation between Intensity and the Peak of the nu F_nu Spectrum of Gamma Ray Bursts
Nicole M. Lloyd-Ronning, Vahe' Petrosian, Robert S. Mallozzi
We present results of correlation studies, examining the association between the peak of the nu F_nu spectrum of gamma ray bursts, E_p, with the burst's energy fluence and photon p…
Evidence for an Early High-Energy Afterglow Observed with BATSE from GRB980923
T. W. Giblin, J. van Paradijs, C. Kouveliotou +5
In this Letter, we present the first evidence in the BATSE data for a prompt high-energy (25-300 keV) afterglow component from a gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB980923. The event consist…

C. Thompson, R. C. Duncan, P. M. Woods +3
We consider the physical implications of the rapid spindown of Soft Gamma Repeater 1900+14, and of the apparent "braking glitch", ΔP/P = l x 10^-4, that was concurrent with the Aug…
