The Pioneer Venus Orbiter Catalog of Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. E. Fenimore, A. Crider, J. J. M. int Zand +3
The Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) Gamma-ray burst experiment detected 318 gamma-ray bursts over about 14 years between 1978 and 1992 with near coverage. This data set complement…
NICER observes a secondary peak in the decay of a thermonuclear burst from 4U 1608-52
Gaurava K. Jaisawal, Jérôme Chenevez, Peter Bult +14
We report for the first time below 1.5 keV, the detection of a secondary peak in an Eddington-limited thermonuclear X-ray burst observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composition Ex…
The LOFT perspective on neutron star thermonuclear bursts
J. J. M. in 't Zand, D. Altamirano, D. R. Ballantyne +31
This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
Unveiling the environment surrounding LMXB SAX J1808.4-3658
Ciro Pinto, Elisa Costantini, Andrew C. Fabian +2
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are a natural workbench to study accretion disk phenomena and optimal background sources to measure elemental abundances in the Interstellar medium…
The Galactic Bulge Survey: outline and X-ray observations
P. G. Jonker, C. G. Bassa, G. Nelemans +22
We introduce the Galactic Bulge Survey (GBS) and we provide the Chandra source list for the region that has been observed to date. Among the goals of the GBS are constraining the n…
Multi-Instrument X-ray Observations of Thermonuclear Bursts with Short Recurrence Times
L. Keek, D. K. Galloway, J. J. M. in 't Zand +1
Type I X-ray bursts from low-mass X-ray binaries result from a thermonuclear runaway in the material accreted onto the neutron star. Although typical recurrence times are a few hou…
