Hard X-rays from Type II bursts of the Rapid Burster and its transition toward quiescence
N. Masetti, F. Frontera, L. Stella +10
We report on 4 BeppoSAX Target Of Opportunity observations of MXB 1730-335, the Rapid Burster (RB), made during the 1998 February-March outburst. In the first observation, approxim…
Discovery of hard X-ray emission from Type II bursts of the Rapid Burster
F. Frontera, N. Masetti, M. Orlandini +9
We report on results of BeppoSAX Target Of Opportunity (TOO) observations of the source MXB 1730-335, also called the Rapid Burster (RB), made during its outburst of February-March…
The Long Term Stability of Oscillations During Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts: Constraining the Binary X-ray Mass Function
Tod E. Strohmayer, William Zhang, Jean H. Swank +1
We report on the long term stability of the millisecond oscillations observed with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during thermonuclear X-ray bursts from the low mass X-ray…
On the Amplitude of Burst Oscillations in 4U 1636-54: Evidence for Nuclear Powered Pulsars
Tod E. Strohmayer, William Zhang, Jean H. Swank +2
We present a study of 581 Hz oscillations observed during a thermonuclear X-ray burst from the low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1636-54 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE).…
Mechanisms for High-frequency QPOs in Neutron Star and Black Hole Binaries
Lev Titarchuk, Iosif Lapidus, Alex Muslimov
We explain the millisecond variability detected by Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in the X-ray emission from a number of low mass X-ray binary systems (Sco X-1, 4U1728-34, 4U16…
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.…
On the Nature of Photospheric Oscillations in Strong X--Ray Bursts
Iosif Lapidus, Luciano Nobili, Roberto Turolla
A possible sound origin for the photospheric oscillations in the X--ray bursting sources 1608-522 and 2127+119 is suggested. It is shown that standing sound waves in an expanding s…
Accretion Rates in X--Ray Bursting Sources
Iosif Lapidus, Luciano Nobili, Roberto Turolla
We present estimates for the accretion rates in 13 X--ray bursting sources which exhibit photospheric expansion, basing on theoretical models of stationary, radiatively driven wind…
Winds from Neutron Stars and Strong Type I X--Ray Bursts
Luciano Nobili, Roberto Turolla, Iosif Lapidus
A model for stationary, radiatively driven winds from X--ray bursting neutron stars is presented. General relativistic hydrodynamical and radiative transfer equations are integrate…
