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…
Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of the low-luminosity X-ray pulsators SAX J1324.4-6200 and SAX J1452.8-5949
Ramanpreet Kaur, Rudy Wijnands, Alessandro Patruno +5
We present results from our Chandra and XMM-Newton observations of two low-luminosity X-ray pulsators SAX J1324.4-6200 and SAX J1452.8-5949 which have spin-periods of 172 s and 437…
A New Class of Radio Pulsars - Back in 1982
M. Ali Alpar
Basic ideas about the torques on the neutron star and the existence of an equilibrium rotation period followed from the recognition that most X-ray binaries contain accretion power…
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…
The behavior of subluminous X-ray transients near the Galactic center as observed using the X-ray telescope aboard Swift
N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands
In this paper we report on the spectral analysis of seven X-ray transients, which were found to be active during a monitoring campaign of the Galactic center carried out in 2006 an…
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…
