Neutral versus ionized absorber as an explanation of the X-ray dippers
M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, T. Dotani +1
We present results of the Suzaku observation of the dipping, periodically bursting low mass X-ray binary XB 1323-619 in which we concentrate of the spectral evolution in dipping in…
A model for the Z-track phenomenon, jet formation and the kilohertz QPO based on Rossi-XTE observations of the Z-track sources
M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church, N. K. Jackson +1
We present a new model for the Z-track phenomenon, based on analysis of the spectral evolution around the Z-track in several Z-track sources, in which radiation pressure plays a ma…
The periodic bursters XB1323-619 and GS1826-24: longterm evolution of the nuclear burning regime and comparison with theory
M. Balucinska-Church, D. Reed, M. J. Church
The majority of X-ray burst sources do not display a burst rate that increases with luminosity as expected, but this is seen in the two clocked bursters XB1323-619 and GS1826-24. W…
A study of the dipping low mass X-ray binary Xþ1624-490 from the broadband BeppoSAX observation
M. Balucinska-Church, P. J. Humphrey, M. J. Church +1
A study of the luminous dipping LMXB X1624-490 was made using BeppoSAX. From modelling the MECS radial profile in several energy bands, the optical depth to dust scattering at 1 ke…
Discovery of a relation between the height of the radiatively-supported disk and the blackbody luminosity of LMXB

An X-ray study of the dipping low mass X-ray binary XB 1323-619
M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, T. Oosterbroek +3
During a BeppoSAX observation of the low-mass X-ray binary dip source XB 1323-619 a total of 10 type I X-ray bursts and parts of 12 intensity dips were observed. During non-burstin…
