New Views of Thermonuclear Bursts
Tod Strohmayer, Lars Bildsten
Since the advent of powerful new X-ray observatories, NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), the Italian - Dutch BeppoSAX mission, XMM-Newton and Chandra, a number of entirely…
Discovery of a 450 Hz QPO from the Microquasar GRO J1655-40 with RXTE
Tod E. Strohmayer
We report the discovery with the proportional counter array (PCA) onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) of a 450 Hz quasiperiodic oscillation (QPO) in the hard X-ray flux…
Post-Glitch RXTE-PCA Observations of the Vela Pulsar
M. Atakan Gurkan, Altan Baykal, M. Ali Alpar +2
We report the results of analysis of observations of the Vela Pulsar by PCA on RXTE. Our data consists of two parts. The first part contains observations at 1, 4, and 9 days after…
Oscillations During Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts: A New Probe of Neutron Stars
Tod E. Strohmayer
Observations of thermonuclear (Type I) X-ray bursts from neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries (LMXB) with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have revealed large amplitude,…
The orbital period of the recurrent X-ray transient in Terzan 6
J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Bazzano, M Cocchi +11
Four or five new outbursts were detected of the bright X-ray transient GRS 1747-312 in the globular cluster Terzan 6 between 1996 and 1999, through monitoring campaigns with the Wi…
A new X-ray outburst in the globular cluster NGC 6440: SAX J1748.9-2021
J. J. M. in 't Zand, F. Verbunt, T. E. Strohmayer +8
For the second time in 27 years a bright transient X-ray source has been detected coincident with the globular cluster NGC 6440. It was found to be active in August, 1998, with the…
