On Relativistic Disk Spectroscopy in Compact Objects with X-ray CCD Cameras
J. M. Miller, A. D'Ai, M. W. Bautz +11
X-ray charge-coupled devices (CCDs) are the workhorse detectors of modern X-ray astronomy. Typically covering the 0.3-10.0 keV energy range, CCDs are able to detect photoelectric a…
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…
Multi-state observations of the Galactic Black Hole XTE J1752-223: Evidence for an intermediate black hole spin
R. C. Reis, J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian +6
The Galactic Black hole candidate XTE J1752-223 was observed during the decay of its 2009 outburst with the Suzaku and XMM-Newton observatories. The observed spectra are consistent…
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…
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…
