The Swift capture of a long X-ray burst from XTE J1701-407
Manuel Linares, Anna L. Watts, Rudy Wijnands +5
XTE J1701-407 is a new transient X-ray source discovered on June 8th, 2008. More than one month later it showed a rare type of thermonuclear explosion: a long type I X-ray burst. W…
Magnetar oscillations pose challenges for strange stars
Anna L. Watts, Sanjay Reddy
Compact relativistic stars allow us to study the nature of matter under extreme conditions, probing regions of parameter space that are otherwise inaccessible. Nuclear theory in th…
High frequency oscillations during magnetar flares
Anna L. Watts, Tod E. Strohmayer
The recent discovery of high frequency oscillations during giant flares from the Soft Gamma Repeaters SGR 1806-20 and SGR 1900+14 may be the first direct detection of vibrations in…
The energy dependence of burst oscillations from the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338
Anna L. Watts, Tod E. Strohmayer
The nature of the asymmetry that gives rise to Type I X-ray burst oscillations on accreting neutron stars remains a matter of debate. Of particular interest is whether the burst os…
