SAX J1808.4-3658: high resolution spectroscopy and decrease of pulsed fraction at low energies

Alessandro Patruno, Nanda Rea, Diego Altamirano +3

XMM-Newton observed the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during its 2008 outburst. We present timing and spectral analyses of this observation, in particular the first…

A decade of timing an accretion-powered millisecond pulsar: The continuing spin down and orbital evolution of SAX J1808.4-3658

J. M. Hartman, A. Patruno, D. Chakrabarty +4

The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has observed five outbursts from the transient 2.5 ms accretion-powered pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658 during 1998-2008. We present a pulse timing study of…

Modeling of Disk-Star Interaction: Different Regimes of Accretion and Variability

Marina M. Romanova, Akshay K. Kulkarni, Min Long +1

The appearance and time variability of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars (hereafter AMXPs, e.g. Wijnands & van der Klis 1998) depends strongly on the accretion rate, the effectiv…

Intermittent accreting millisecond pulsars: light houses with broken lamps?

D. Altamirano, P. Casella

Intermittent accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars are an exciting new type of sources. Their pulsations appear and disappear either on timescales of hundreds of seconds or on timesc…

Modelling the outburst profile of X-ray powered millisecond pulsars

Maurizio Falanga

The outbursts of low mass X-ray binaries are prolonged relative to those of dwarf nova cataclysmic variables as a consequence of X-ray irradiation of the disc. We show that the tim…

The Spin Distribution of Millisecond X-ray Pulsars

Deepto Chakrabarty

The spin frequency distribution of accreting millisecond X-ray pulsars cuts off sharply above 730 Hz, well below the breakup spin rate for most neutron star equations of state. I r…
