Broad-band X-ray spectral evolution of GX 339-4 during a state transition

M. Del Santo, T. M. Belloni, J. Homan +8

We report on X-ray and soft gamma-ray observations of the black-hole candidate GX 339-4 during its 2007 outburst, performed with the RXTE and INTEGRAL satellites. The hardness-inte…

Discovery of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations and state transitions in the low-mass X-ray binary 1E~1724-3045 (Terzan 2)

D. Altamirano, M. van der Klis, M. Mendez +3

We have studied the rapid X-ray time variability in 99 pointed observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE)'s Proportional Counter Array of the low-mass X-ray binary 1E…

On the kHz QPO frequency correlations in bright neutron star X-ray binaries

T. Belloni, M. Mendez, J. Homan

We re-examine the correlation between the frequencies of upper and lower kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPO) in bright neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries. By including the kHz…

Observations of the 599 Hz Accreting X-ray Pulsar IGR J00291+5934 during the 2004 Outburst and in Quiescence

M. A. P. Torres, P. G. Jonker, D. Steeghs +10

We report on optical and NIR observations obtained during and after the 2004 December discovery outburst of the X-ray transient and accretion-powered millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+…

Low and high frequency variability as a function of spectral properties in the bright X-ray binary GX 5-1

P. G. Jonker, M. van der Klis, J. Homan +4

We report on a detailed analysis of data obtained over nearly four years with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of the Z source GX 5-1. From a spectral analysis using a hardness-inte…

X-ray bursts at extreme mass accretion rates from GX 17+2

E. Kuulkers, J. Homan, M. van der Klis +2

(abridged version) We report on ten type I X-ray bursts from GX 17+2 in data obtained with the RXTE/PCA in 1996--2000. Three bursts were short in duration (~10 s), whereas the othe…
