RXTE Observation of Cygnus X--1: III. Implications for Compton Corona and ADAF Models
Michael A. Nowak, Joern Wilms, Brian A. Vaughan +2
We have recently shown that a `sphere+disk' geometry Compton corona model provides a good description of Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the hard/low state of Cy…
RXTE Observation of Cygnus X-1: II. Timing Analysis
Michael A. Nowak, Brian A. Vaughan, Joern Wilms +2
We present timing analysis for a Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observation of Cygnus X-1 in its hard/low state. This was the first RXTE observation of Cyg X-1 taken after it transite…
On the Dramatic Spin-up/Spin-down Torque Reversals in Accreting Pulsars
Robert W. Nelson, Lars Bildsten, Deepto Chakrabarty +7
Dramatic torque reversals between spin up and spin down have been observed in half of the persistent X-ray pulsars monitored by the BATSE all-sky monitor on CGRO. Theoretical model…
Observations of Accreting Pulsars
Lars Bildsten, Deepto Chakrabarty, John Chiu +10
We summarize five years of continuous monitoring of accretion-powered pulsars with the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Our 20-70…
