X-ray Iron absorption line in Swift J1858.6-0814

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Kento Sakai +1

We present the spectral analysis of bright steady states in an outburst of the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary (NS-LMXB) Swift J1858.6-0814 observed with NICER. We det…

Decades' long-term variations in NS-LMXBs observed with MAXI/GSC, RXTE/ASM and Ginga/ASM

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Masaru Matsuoka

We investigated the decades' long-term X-ray variations in bright low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star (NS-LMXB). The light curves of MAXI/GSC and RXTE/ASM covers $\si…

Hard-tail emission in the soft state of low-mass X-ray binaries and their relation to the neutron star magnetic field

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Masaru Mastuoka +1

Average hard-tail X-ray emission in the soft state of nine bright Atoll low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star (NS-LMXBs) are investigated by using the light curves of M…

X-ray variability with spectral state transitions in NS-LMXBs observed with MAXI/GSC and Swift/BAT

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Masaru Matsuoka +1

X-ray variabilities with spectral state transitions in bright low mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star are investigated by using the one-day bin light curves of MAXI/GSC (…

Sudden End of X-Ray Outbursts around Periastron of Circinus X-1 Observed with MAXI

Kazumi Asai, Tatehiro Mihara, Masaru Matsuoka +5

MAXI/GSC observed 21 outbursts from Circinus X-1 between 2009 August and 2013 December. Although 14 outbursts showed ordinary gradual decays, in 7 outbursts we found sudden luminos…

Propeller-Effect Interpretation of MAXI/GSC Light Curves of 4U 1608-52 and AqlX-1 and application to XTE J1701-462

K. Asai, M. Matsuoka, T. Mihara +6

We present the luminosity dwell-time distributions during the hard states of low-mass X-ray binaries containing a neutron star, 4U 1608-52 and AqlX-1, observed with MAXI/GSC. The l…
