An explanation of the Z-track sources
M. J. Church, G. S. Halai, M. Balucinska-Church
We present an explanation of the Z-track phenomenon based on spectral fitting of RXTE observations of GX340+0 using the emission model previously shown to describe the dipping LMXB…
Discovery of absorption features of the ADC and systematic acceleration of the X-ray burst rate in XB 1323-619
M. J. Church, D. Reed, T. Dotani +2
We present results from analysis of the observation of the dipping, quasi-periodic bursting LMXB XB 1323-619 made with XMM-Newton in Jan., 2003. A number of absorption lines were d…
The orbital period of the dipping, bursting, globular cluster X-ray source XB 1746-371 from Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations
M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, A. P. Smale
We present results from two long observations of XB 1746-371 by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 2002 January and May, lasting 4 and 5 days respectively. Dips are observed…
Physical changes during Z-track movement in Sco X-1 on the flaring branch
R. Barnard, M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church
We present results of a detailed study of X-ray flaring in the Z-track source Sco X-1 in a highly super-Eddington state made using high quality Rossi-XTE data from the PCA and HEXT…
Ultra-Luminous X-ray Source Populations in Normal Galaxies: a Preliminary Survey with Chandra
P. J. Humphrey, G. Fabbiano, M. Elvis +2
We present results of a Chandra survey of the ultra-luminous X-ray sources (ULX) in 13 normal galaxies, in which we combine source detection with X-ray flux measurement. 22 ULX wer…
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…
