On September 21 at 18950.56 SOD (05:15:50.56) UT the FREGATE gamma-ray instrument on the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE) detected a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB). The burst wa…
Transient X--Ray Sources Observed with the Rxte All-Sky Monitor after 3.5 Years
Hale Bradt, Alan M. Levine, Ronald A. Remillard +1
We present light curves of a sample of "transient" sources observed with the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) of the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The light curves extend over 3.5 years…
Localizations of Thirteen Gamma-ray Bursts by the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE
D. A. Smith, A. M. Levine, H. V. Bradt +9
The All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has been used to localize thirteen confirmed X-ray counterparts to Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) detected over three y…
X-ray Orbital Modulation of Cygnus X-1
Linqing Wen, Wei Cui, Alan M. Levine +1
We have analyzed over 2 years of RXTE/ASM data for Cygnus X-1. We have detected the 5.6-day orbital period in Lomb-Scargle periodograms of both light curves and hardness ratios whe…
