Chandra and Swift observations of the quasi-persistent neutron star transient EXO 0748-676 back to quiescence
N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands, M. T. Wolff +8
The quasi-persistent neutron star X-ray transient and eclipsing binary EXO 0748-676 recently started the transition to quiescence following an accretion outburst that lasted more t…
Science with the XEUS High Time Resolution Spectrometer
D. Barret, T. Belloni, S. Bhattacharyya +12
XEUS has been recently selected by ESA for an assessment study. XEUS is a large mission candidate for the Cosmic Vision program, aiming for a launch date as early as 2018. XEUS is…
Cooling of the crust in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary MXB 1659-29
Edward M. Cackett, Rudy Wijnands, Jon M. Miller +2
In quasi-persistent neutron star transients, long outbursts cause the neutron star crust to be heated out of thermal equilibrium with the rest of the star. During quiescence, the c…
Initial Measurements of Black Hole Spin in GX 339-4 from Suzaku Spectroscopy
J. M. Miller, C. S. Reynolds, A. C. Fabian +6
We report on a deep Suzaku observation of the stellar-mass black hole GX 339-4 in outburst. A clear, strong, relativistically-shaped iron emission line from the inner accretion dis…
Relativistic iron emission lines in neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries as probes of neutron star radii
Edward M. Cackett, Jon M. Miller, Sudip Bhattacharyya +6
Using Suzaku observations of three neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (Ser X-1, 4U 1820-30 and GX 349+2) we have found broad, asymmetric, relativistic Fe K emission lines in all…
Testing thermal reprocessing in AGN accretion discs
E. M. Cackett, K. Horne, H. Winkler
The thermal reprocessing hypothesis in AGN, where EUV/X-ray photons are reprocessed by the accretion disc into optical/UV photons, predicts wavelength-dependent time delays between…
