Science with the XEUS High Time Resolution Spectrometer
D. Barret, T. Belloni, S. Bhattacharyya +12
XEUS has been recently selected by ESA for an assessment study. XEUS is a large mission candidate for the Cosmic Vision program, aiming for a launch date as early as 2018. XEUS is…
An abrupt drop in the coherence of the lower kilohertz QPO in 4U 1636-536
Didier Barret, Jean-Francois Olive, M. Coleman Miller
Using archival data from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), we study in a systematic way the variation of the quality factor and amplitude of the lower and upper kHz quasi-per…
The Shapes of Atomic Lines from the Surfaces of Weakly Magnetic Rotating Neutron Stars and Their Implications
Sudip Bhattacharyya, M. Coleman Miller, Frederick K. Lamb
Motivated by the report by Cottam et al. (2002) of iron resonance scattering lines in the spectra of thermonuclear bursts from EXO 0748-676, we have investigated the information ab…
Attenuation of Beaming Oscillations Near Neutron Stars
M. Coleman Miller
Observations with RXTE have revealed kilohertz quasi-periodic brightness oscillations (QPOs) from nearly twenty different neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). These freque…
A Characterization of the Brightness Oscillations During Thermonuclear Bursts From 4U 1636-536
M. Coleman Miller
The discovery of nearly coherent brightness oscillations during thermonuclear X-ray bursts from six neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries has opened up a new way to study the propag…
Evidence for Antipodal Hot Spots During X-ray Bursts From 4U 1636-536
M. Coleman Miller
The discovery of high-frequency brightness oscillations in thermonuclear X-ray bursts from several neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries has important implications for the beat freq…
