Advances in Understanding High-Mass X-ray Binaries with INTEGRAL and Future Directions

Peter Kretschmar, Felix Fürst, Lara Sidoli +48

High mass X-ray binaries are among the brightest X-ray sources in the Milky Way, as well as in nearby Galaxies. Thanks to their highly variable emissions and complex phenomenology,…

The giant outburst of 4U 0115+634 in 2011 with Suzaku and RXTE

Matthias Bissinger né Kühnel, Ingo Kreykenbohm, Carlo Ferrigno +19

We present an analysis of X-ray spectra of the high mass X-ray binary 4U 0115+634 as observed with Suzaku and RXTE in 2011 July, during the fading phase of a giant X-ray outburst.…

The clumpy absorber in the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1

V. Grinberg, N. Hell, I. El Mellah +13

Bright and eclipsing, the high-mass X-ray binary Vela X-1 offers a unique opportunity to study accretion onto a neutron star from clumpy winds of O/B stars and to disentangle the c…

A precessing Be disk as a possible model for occultation events in GX 304-1

Matthias Kühnel, Richard E. Rothschild, Atsuo T. Okazaki +14

We report on the RXTE detection of a sudden increase in the absorption column density, , during the 2011 May outburst of GX 304-1. The increased up to…

The Goodness of Simultaneous Fits in ISIS

Matthias Kühnel, Sebastian Falkner, Christoph Grossberger +15

In a previous work, we introduced a tool for analyzing multiple datasets simultaneously, which has been implemented into ISIS. This tool was used to fit many spectra of X-ray binar…

On the physical meaning of the 2.1 keV absorption feature in 4U 1538-52

J. J. Rodes Roca, J. M. Torrejón, S. Martínez-Núñez +1

The improvement of the capabilities of nowadays X-ray observatories, like Chandra or XMM-Newton, offers the possibility to detect both absorption and emission lines and to study th…
