J. J. M. in 't Zand, E. Kuulkers, A. Bazzano +7
SAX J1819.3-2525 is a nearby X-ray transient which exhibited a fast and large X-ray outburst on Sep. 15, 1999 (Smith et al. 1999). The Wide Field Cameras and the Narrow Field Instr…
The orbital period of the recurrent X-ray transient in Terzan 6
J. J. M. in 't Zand, A. Bazzano, M Cocchi +11
Four or five new outbursts were detected of the bright X-ray transient GRS 1747-312 in the globular cluster Terzan 6 between 1996 and 1999, through monitoring campaigns with the Wi…
Discovery of type-I X-ray bursts from GRS 1741.9-2853
M. Cocchi, A. Bazzano, L. Natalucci +4
For the first time X-ray bursts have been detected from a sky position consistent with the one of GRS 1741.9-2853, a GRANAT transient source located only ~10' from the Galactic Cen…
A new X-ray outburst in the globular cluster NGC 6440: SAX J1748.9-2021
J. J. M. in 't Zand, F. Verbunt, T. E. Strohmayer +8
For the second time in 27 years a bright transient X-ray source has been detected coincident with the globular cluster NGC 6440. It was found to be active in August, 1998, with the…
