The faint "heartbeats" of IGR J17091-3624: an exceptional black-hole candidate
D. Altamirano, T. Belloni, M. Linares +9
We report on the first 180 days of RXTE observations of the outburst of the black hole candidate IGR J17091-3624. This source exhibits a broad variety of complex light curve patter…
Millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations and thermonuclear bursts from Terzan 5: A showcase of burning regimes
M. Linares, D. Altamirano, D. Chakrabarty +2
We present a comprehensive study of the thermonuclear bursts and millihertz quasi-periodic oscillations (mHz QPOs) from the neutron star (NS) transient and 11 Hz X-ray pulsar IGR J…
X-ray softening in the new X-ray transient XTE J1719-291 during its 2008 outburst decay
M. Armas Padilla, N. Degenaar, A. Patruno +5
The X-ray transient XTE J1719-291 was discovered with RXTE/PCA during its outburst in 2008 March, which lasted at least 46 days. Its 2-10 keV peak luminosity is 7E35 erg/s assuming…
Implications of burst oscillations from the slowly rotating accreting pulsar IGR 17480-2446 in the globular cluster Terzan 5
Y. Cavecchi, A. Patruno, B. Haskell +6
The recently-discovered accreting X-ray pulsar IGR J17480--2446 spins at a frequency of ~11 Hz. We show that Type I X-ray bursts from this source display oscillations at the same f…
On the cooling tails of thermonuclear X-ray bursts: the IGR J17480-2446 link
M. Linares, D. Chakrabarty, M. van der Klis
The neutron star transient and 11 Hz X-ray pulsar IGR J17480-2446, recently discovered in the globular cluster Terzan 5, showed unprecedented bursting activity during its 2010 Octo…
