Dipping in Cygnus X-2 in a multi-wavelength campaign due to absorption of extended ADC emission

M. Balucinska-Church, N. S. Schulz, J. Wilms +5

We report results of one-day simultaneous multiwavelength observations of Cygnus X-2 using XMM, Chandra, the European VLBI Network and the XMM Optical Monitor. During the observati…

On the nature of the Cygnus X-2 like Z-track sources

M. Balucinska-Church, A. Gibiec, N. K. Jackson +1

Based on the results of applying the extended ADC emission model for low mass X-ray binaries to three Z-track sources: GX340+0, GX5-1 and CygX-2, we propose an explanation of the C…

Neutral absorber dips in the periodic burster LMXB XB 1323-619 from Suzaku

M. Balucinska-Church, T. Dotani, T. Hirotsu +1

We present results of an observation with Suzaku of the dipping, periodic bursting low mass X-ray binary XB 1323-619. Using the energy band 0.8 - 70 keV, we show that the source sp…

A model for the Z-track phenomenon in GX 5-1 and observational evidence for the physical origins of the kHz QPO

N. K. Jackson, M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church

We present results of a combined investigation of the spectral and kHz QPO evolution around the Z-track in GX 5-1 based on high-quality RXTE data. The Extended ADC emission model p…

A model for the Z-track phenomenon, jet formation and the kilohertz QPO based on Rossi-XTE observations of the Z-track sources

M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church, N. K. Jackson +1

We present a new model for the Z-track phenomenon, based on analysis of the spectral evolution around the Z-track in several Z-track sources, in which radiation pressure plays a ma…

Measurements of accretion disc corona size in LMXB: consequences for Comptonization and LMXB models

M. J. Church, M. Balucinska-Church

We present results of measurements of the radial extent of the accretion disc corona in low mass X-ray binaries. These results prove conclusively the extended nature of the ADC, wi…
