Hard X-rays from Type II bursts of the Rapid Burster and its transition toward quiescence

N. Masetti, F. Frontera, L. Stella +10

We report on 4 BeppoSAX Target Of Opportunity observations of MXB 1730-335, the Rapid Burster (RB), made during the 1998 February-March outburst. In the first observation, approxim…

Optical Observations of the Black Hole Candidate XTE J1550-564 During Re-Flare and Quiescence

Raj K. Jain, Charles D. Bailyn, Jerome A. Orosz +3

We report optical monitoring of the soft X-ray transient XTE J1550-564 during the 1999 season (4 January 1999 to 24 August 1999). The first optical observations available in 1999 s…

The transient X-ray source SAX J2239.3+6116 and its optical counterpart

J. J. M. in 't Zand, J. Halpern, M. Eracleous +4

We have discovered with the Wide Field Cameras on board BeppoSAX the weak transient X-ray source SAXJ2239.3+6116 whose position coincides with that of 4U2238+60/3A2237+608 and is c…

Characterizing the Low-Frequency QPO behavior of the X-ray Nova XTE J1550-564

Gregory J. Sobczak, Ronald A. Remillard, Michael P. Muno +1

For all 209 RXTE observations of the 7-Crab X-ray nova XTE J1550-564, we analyzed the X-ray power spectra, phase lags, and coherence functions. These observations cover the entire…

X-ray Transients Monitored by the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE: A Tabulation

Hale Bradt, Alan Levine, Ronald Remillard +1

We present a tabulation of 46 transient x-ray sources monitored with the All-Sky Monitor (ASM) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). They fall into four broad categories: shor…
