The nature of the Island and Banana States in Atoll sources and a Unified Model for Low Mass X-ray Binaries
M. J. Church, A. Gibiec, M. Balucinska-Church
We propose an explanation of the Island and Banana states and the relation between Atoll and Z-track sources, constituting a unified model for Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXB). We fi…
Spectral Investigations of the nature of the Sco X-1 like sources
M. J. Church, A. Gibiec, M. Balucinska-Church +1
We present results of spectral investigations of the Sco X-1 like Z-track sources Sco X-1, GX 349+2 and GX 17+2 based on Rossi-XTE observations using an extended accretion disk cor…
A review of the Z-track sources
M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church
The brightest class of low mass X-ray binary source: the Z-track sources are reviewed specifically with regard to the nature of the three distinct states of the sources. A physical…
Dipping -versus Flaring in Z-track sources: resolving the controversy
M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, A. Gibiec
We review the longterm confusion which has existed over the nature of flaring in the brightest class of low mass X-ray binary: the Z-track sources, specifically in the Cygnus X-2 s…
The nature of the 4th track in GX 5-1: discovery of Fe XXVI RRC in massive flares
M. J. Church, O. Dimbylow, C. Peach +1
We present an explanation of the 4th branch of the Z-track based on analysis of high-quality RXTE data on the source GX 5-1. Spectral analysis shows that the physical evolution on…
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…
