Crustal Emission and the Quiescent Spectrum of the Neutron Star in KS 1731-260
Robert E. Rutledge, Lars Bildsten, Edward F. Brown +3
(Abridged). The type-I X-ray bursting low mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260 was recently detected for the first time in quiescence by Wijnands et al., following an approximately 13 yr…
A Remarkable Three Hour Thermonuclear Burst From 4U 1820-30
Tod E. Strohmayer, Edward F. Brown
We present a detailed observational and theoretical study of a ~3 hr long X-ray burst (the ``super burst'') observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) from the low mass X-r…
Identification of A Transient Neutron Star in Quiescence in the Globular Cluster NGC 5139
Robert E. Rutledge, Lars Bildsten, Edward F. Brown +2
Using the Chandra/ACIS-I detector, we have identified an X-ray source (CXOU 132619.7-472910.8) in the globular cluster NGC 5139 with a thermal spectrum identical to that observed f…
Quiescent Thermal Emission from the Neutron Star in Aql X-1
Robert E. Rutledge, Lars Bildsten, Edward F. Brown +2
We report on the quiescent spectrum measured with Chandra/ACIS-S of the transient, type-I X-ray bursting neutron star Aql X-1, immediately following an accretion outburst. The neut…
