Hiccups in the night: X-ray monitoring of the two Crab-like LMC pulsars
E. V. Gotthelf, W. Zhang, F. E. Marshall +2
We are undertaking an extensive X-ray monitoring campaign of the two Crab-like pulsars in the Large Magellanic Clouds, PSR B0540-69 and PSR J0537-6910. We present our current phase…
The Relativistic Astrophysics Explorer: A New Mission for X-Ray Timing
P. Kaaret, J. Grindlay, F. K. Lamb +3
The great success of the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) has given us a new probe to study strong gravitational fields and to measure the physical properties of black holes and…
A 16 Millisecond X-Ray Pulsar in the Crab-Like SNR N157B: Fast Times at 30 Doradus
E. V. Gotthelf, W. Zhang, F. E. Marshall +2
The supernova remnant N157B (30 Dor B, SNR 0539-69.1, NGC 2060), located in the Tarantula Nebula of the Large Magellanic Cloud, has long been considered a possible Crab-like remnan…
Peak Luminosities of Bursts from GRO J1744-28 measured with the RXTE PCA
K. Jahoda, M. J. Stark, T. E. Strohmayer +3
GRO J1744-28, discovered by BATSE in December 95, is the second neutron star system known to produce frequent accretion powered bursts. The system has been regularly monitored with…
Discovery of 800 Hz QPO in 4U1608-52
M. Berger, M. van der Klis, J. van Paradijs +11
We present results of RXTE observations of the low-mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 160852 made over 9 days during the decline of an X-ray intensity outburst in March 1996.…
