Eclipse Timings of the Transient Low Mass X-ray Binary EXO0748-676. IV. The Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer Eclipses
Michael T. Wolff, Paul S. Ray, Kent S. Wood +1
We report our complete database of X-ray eclipse timings of the low mass X-ray binary EXO0748-676 observed by the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. As of this writing w…
The Full Spectrum Galactic Terrarium: MHz to TeV Observations of Various Critters
Mallory S. E. Roberts, C. Brogan, S. Ransom +13
Multi-wavelength studies at radio, infrared, optical, X-ray, and TeV wavelengths have discovered probable counterparts to many Galactic sources of GeV emission detected by EGRET. T…
Chandra and Swift observations of the quasi-persistent neutron star transient EXO 0748-676 back to quiescence
N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands, M. T. Wolff +8
The quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient and eclipsing binary EXO 0748-676 recently started the transition to quiescence following an accretion outburst that lasted more t…
Possible Magnetic Activity in the Low Mass X-ray Binary EXO 0748-676
Michael T. Wolff, Kent S. Wood, Paul S. Ray
We report evidence of magnetic activity associated with the secondary star in the EXO 0748-676 low mass X-ray binary system. An analysis of a sequence of five consecutive X-ray ecl…
GLAST Large Area Telescope Multiwavelength Planning
O. Reimer, P. F. Michelson, R. A. Cameron +3
Gamma-ray astrophysics depends in many ways on multiwavelength studies. The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Large Area Telescope (LAT) Collaboration has started multiw…
A Strong X-Ray Burst from the Low Mass X-Ray Binary EXO0748-676
Michael T. Wolff, Peter A. Becker, Paul S. Ray +1
We have observed an unusually strong X-ray burst as a part of our regular eclipse timing observations of the low mass binary system EXO0748-676. The burst peak flux was 5.2x10^-8 e…
