Is the Lack of Pulsations in Low Mass X-Ray Binaries due to Comptonizing Coronae?

Ersin Gogus, M. Ali Alpar, Marat Gilfanov

The spin periods of the neutron stars in most Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) systems still remain undetected. One of the models to explain the absence of coherent pulsations has been…

Exploring Broadband GRB Behavior During gamma-ray Emission

S. A. Yost, H. F. Swan, E. S. Rykoff +44

The robotic ROTSE-III telescope network detected prompt optical emission contemporaneous with the gamma-ray emission of Swift events GRB051109A and GRB051111. Both datasets have co…

A Possible Magnetar Nature for IGR J16358-4726

S. K. Patel, J. Zurita, M. Del Santo +10

We present detailed spectral and timing analysis of the hard x-ray transient IGR J16358-4726 using multi-satellite archival observations. A study of the source flux time history ov…

X-ray Spectral Variations of U Gem from Quiescence to Outburst

T. Guver, C. Uluyazi, M. T. Ozkan +1

In this paper we report the discovery of a high energy component of the X-ray spectra of U Gem, which can be observed while the source is in outburst. We used Chandra and XMM-Newto…

The Prelude to and Aftermath of the Giant Flare of 2004 December 27: Persistent and Pulsed X-ray Properties of SGR 1806-20 from 1993 to 2005

Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Mark H. Finger +5

On 2004 December 27, a highly-energetic giant flare was recorded from the magnetar candidate SGR 1806-20. In the months preceding this flare, the persistent X-ray emission from thi…

The Anomalous Early Afterglow of GRB 050801

E. S. Rykoff, V. Mangano, S. A. Yost +24

The ROTSE-IIIc telescope at the H.E.S.S. site, Namibia, obtained the earliest detection of optical emission from a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB), beginning only 21.8 s from the onset of Sw…
