Links between quasi-periodic oscillations and accretion states in neutron star low mass X-ray binaries

S. E. Motta, A. Rouco-Escorial, E. Kuulkers +2

We analysed the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) data from a sample of bright accreting neutron star (NS) low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs). With the aim of studying the quasi-peri…

eXTP -- enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry Mission

S. N. Zhang, M. Feroci, A. Santangelo +181

eXTP is a science mission designed to study the state of matter under extreme conditions of density, gravity and magnetism. Primary targets include isolated and binary neutron star…

Transient Black Hole Binaries

T. M. Belloni, S. E. Motta

The last two decades have seen a great improvement in our understand- ing of the complex phenomenology observed in transient black-hole binary systems, especially thanks to the act…

Black hole-like hysteresis and accretion states in neutron star low mass X-ray binaries

T. Muñoz-Darias, R. P. Fender, S. E. Motta +1

We have systematically studied a large sample of the neutron star low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) monitored by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (50 sources; 10000+ observations). We…

Precise mass and spin measurements for a stellar-mass black hole through X-ray timing: the case of GRO J1655-40

S. E. Motta, T. M. Belloni, L. Stella +2

We present a systematic analysis of the fast time variability properties of the transient black hole binary GRO J1655-40, based on the complete set of RossiXTE observations. We dem…

Relations between X-ray timing features and spectral parameters of Galactic black hole X-ray binaries

H. Stiele, T. M. Belloni, E. Kalemci +1

We present a study of correlations between spectral and timing parameters for a sample of black hole X-ray binary candidates. Data are taken from GX 339-4, H 1743-322, and XTE J165…
