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…

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…
Progressive Covering of the Accretion Disk Corona during Dipping in the LMXB XB 1916-053
R. Morley, M. J. Church, A. P. Smale +1
Results are reported for analysis of the extensive Rosat observation of the dipping low mass X-ray binary XB 1916-053. Dipping is 100% deep showing that the emission regions are co…
Discovery of a new 170 s X-ray pulsar 1SAX J1324.4-6200
L. Angelini, M. J. Church, A. N. Parmar +2
We report the discovery with BeppoSAX of a new 170.84 +/- 0.04 s X-ray pulsar, 1SAX J1324.4-6200, found serendipitously in the field of the X-ray binary X1323-619 in 1997 August. T…
Progressive covering in dipping and Comptonization in the spectrum of XB1916-053 from the BeppoSAX observation
M. J. Church, A. N. Parmar, M. Balucinska-Church +3
We report results of a BeppoSAX observation of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) dipping source XB 1916-053. The source joins the small group of LMXB detected at energies ~100 keV.…
