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…
Puzzling thermonuclear burst behaviour from the transient low-mass X-ray binary IGR J17473-2721
J. Chenevez, D. Altamirano, D. K. Galloway +8
We investigate the thermonuclear bursting behaviour of IGR J17473-2721, an X-ray transient that in 2008 underwent a six month long outburst, starting (unusually) with an X-ray burs…
The return of the bursts: Thermonuclear flashes from Circinus X-1
M. Linares, A. Watts, D. Altamirano +14
We report the detection of 15 X-ray bursts with RXTE and Swift observations of the peculiar X-ray binary Circinus X-1 during its May 2010 X-ray re-brightening. These are the first…
A four-year baseline Swift study of enigmatic X-ray transients located near the Galactic center
N. Degenaar, R. Wijnands
We report on continued monitoring observations of the Galactic center carried out by the X-ray telescope aboard the Swift satellite in 2008 and 2009. This campaign revealed activit…
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…
