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…
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 importance of radiation pressure in the launching of jets
M. J. Church, N. K. Jackson, M. Balucinska-Church
Based on the results of applying the extended ADC emission model to three Z-track sources: GX340+0, GX5-1 and CygX-2, we propose an explanation of the Z-track sources in which the…
A comparison of neutron star blackbody luminosities in LMXB with the theory of accretion flow spreading on the stellar surface
M. J. Church, N. A. Inogamov, M. Balucinska-Church
We present a comparison of the results of the ASCA survey of LMXB with the Inogamov and Sunyaev theory of accretion flow spreading on the surface of neutron stars. The ASCA survey…
A study of the spectral evolution during dipping in XB 1323-619 with Rossi-XTE and BeppoSAX
R. Barnard, M. Balucinska-Church, A. P. Smale +1
We report results from analysis of the observations of the dipping low mass X-ray binary XB 1323-619 made with BeppoSAX} and Rossi-XTE. The dust-scattered halo contributes signific…
Results of a LMXB survey: variation in the height of the neutron star blackbody emission region
M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church
We present results of a survey of the spectra of Low Mass X-ray Binaries using ASCA. It is shown that all sources in the survey are well-fitted by the same two-component emission m…
Attenuation of dipping at low energies in the LMXB source X 1755-338
M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church
We report spectral fitting results for Rosat PSPC observations of the dipping source X 1755-338. These results are consistent with the two-component model that we previously propos…
