The burst behavior of the eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary MXB 1659-298
R. Wijnands, M. P. Muno, J. M. Miller +4
We present a detailed study of the correlations between the burst properties and the inferred mass accretion rate for the X-ray transient MXB 1659-298. The bursts which exhibited o…
The Effect of the Mass Accretion Rate on the Burst Oscillations in 4U 1728-34
Lucia M. Franco
We present a comprehensive study of the properties of nearly coherent brightness oscillations (NCOs) in a large sample of type-I X-ray bursts observed from low mass X-ray binary 4U…
Discovery of nearly coherent oscillations with a frequency of ~567 Hz during type-I X-ray bursts of the X-ray transient and eclipsing binary X 1658-298
Rudy Wijnands, Tod Strohmayer, Lucia M. Franco
We report the discovery of nearly coherent oscillations with a frequency of 567 Hz during type-I X-ray bursts from the X-ray transient and eclipsing binary X 1658-298. If these osc…
Quaking Neutron Stars
Lucia M. Franco, Bennett Link, Richard I. Epstein
Gravitational, magnetic and superfluid forces can stress the crust of an evolving neutron star. Fracture of the crust under these stresses could affect the star's spin evolution an…
Starquake-induced Magnetic Field and Torque Evolution in Neutron Stars
Bennett Link, Lucia M. Franco, Richard I. Epstein
The persistent increases in spin-down rate offsets seen to accompany glitches in the Crab and other pulsars suggest increases in the spin-down torque. We interpret these offsets as…
