The nature of the 4th track in GX 5-1: discovery of Fe XXVI RRC in massive flares
M. J. Church, O. Dimbylow, C. Peach +1
We present an explanation of the 4th branch of the Z-track based on analysis of high-quality RXTE data on the source GX 5-1. Spectral analysis shows that the physical evolution on…
Neutral versus ionized absorber as an explanation of the X-ray dippers
M. Balucinska-Church, M. J. Church, T. Dotani +1
We present results of the Suzaku observation of the dipping, periodically bursting low mass X-ray binary XB 1323-619 in which we concentrate of the spectral evolution in dipping in…
The periodic bursters XB1323-619 and GS1826-24: longterm evolution of the nuclear burning regime and comparison with theory
M. Balucinska-Church, D. Reed, M. J. Church
The majority of X-ray burst sources do not display a burst rate that increases with luminosity as expected, but this is seen in the two clocked bursters XB1323-619 and GS1826-24. W…
An explanation of the Z-track sources
M. J. Church, G. S. Halai, M. Balucinska-Church
We present an explanation of the Z-track phenomenon based on spectral fitting of RXTE observations of GX340+0 using the emission model previously shown to describe the dipping LMXB…
Discovery of absorption features of the ADC and systematic acceleration of the X-ray burst rate in XB 1323-619
M. J. Church, D. Reed, T. Dotani +2
We present results from analysis of the observation of the dipping, quasi-periodic bursting LMXB XB 1323-619 made with XMM-Newton in Jan., 2003. A number of absorption lines were d…
Discovery of hard X-ray features around hotspots of Cygnus A
M. Balucinska-Church, M. Ostrowski, L. Stawarz +1
We present results of analysis of a Chandra observation of Cygnus A in which the X-ray hotspots at the ends of the jets are mapped in detail. A hardness map reveals previously unkn…
