Lighthouses with two lights: burst oscillations from the accretion-powered millisecond pulsars
Anna L. Watts
The key contribution of the discovery of nuclear-powered pulsations from the accretion-powered millisecond pulsars (AMPs) has been the establishment of burst oscillation frequency…
The Swift capture of a long X-ray burst from XTE J1701-407
Manuel Linares, Anna L. Watts, Rudy Wijnands +5
XTE J1701-407 is a new transient X-ray source discovered on June 8th, 2008. More than one month later it showed a rare type of thermonuclear explosion: a long type I X-ray burst. W…
Coherence of burst oscillations and accretion-powered pulsations in the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338
Anna L. Watts, Alessandro Patruno, Michiel van der Klis
X-ray timing of the accretion-powered pulsations during the 2003 outburst of the accreting millisecond pulsar XTE J1814-338 has revealed variation in the pulse time of arrival resi…
Detecting gravitational wave emission from the known accreting neutron stars
Anna Watts, Badri Krishnan, Lars Bildsten +1
Detection of gravitational waves from accreting neutron stars (NSs) in our galaxy, due to ellipticity or internal oscillation, would be a breakthrough in our understanding of compa…
Ignition latitude and the shape of Type I X-ray bursts
Immanuel Maurer, Anna L. Watts
The shape of the lightcurve during the rising phase of Type I X-ray bursts is determined by many factors including the ignition latitude, the accretion rate, and the rotation rate…
Magnetar oscillations pose challenges for strange stars
Anna L. Watts, Sanjay Reddy
Compact relativistic stars allow us to study the nature of matter under extreme conditions, probing regions of parameter space that are otherwise inaccessible. Nuclear theory in th…
