Continued cooling of the crust in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260
Edward M. Cackett, Edward F. Brown, Andrew Cumming +3
Some neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries have very long outbursts (lasting several years) which can generate a significant amount of heat in the neutron star crust. After the syst…
Quiescent X-ray emission from Cen X-4: a variable thermal component
Edward M. Cackett, Edward F. Brown, Jon M. Miller +1
The nearby neutron star low-mass X-ray binary, Cen X-4, has been in a quiescent state since its last outburst in 1979. Typically, quiescent emission from these objects consists of…
Further X-ray observations of EXO 0748-676 in quiescence: evidence for a cooling neutron star crust
N. Degenaar, M. T. Wolff, P. S. Ray +8
In late 2008, the quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient and eclipsing binary EXO 0748-676 started a transition from outburst to quiescence, after it had been actively accre…
The Equation of State from Observed Masses and Radii of Neutron Stars
Andrew W. Steiner, James M. Lattimer, Edward F. Brown
We determine an empirical dense matter equation of state from a heterogeneous dataset of six neutron stars: three type I X-ray bursters with photospheric radius expansion, studied…
Rapid Cooling of the Neutron Star in the Quiescent Super-Eddington Transient XTE J1701-462
Joel K. Fridriksson, Jeroen Homan, Rudy Wijnands +7
We present Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer and Swift observations made during the final three weeks of the 2006-2007 outburst of the super-Eddington neutron star (NS) transient XTE J17…
