Outbursts Large and Small from EXO 2030+375

Colleen A. Wilson, Mark H. Finger, Ascension Camero-Arranz

During the summer of 2006, the accreting X-ray pulsar EXO 2030+375 underwent its first giant outburst since its discovery in 1985. Our observations include the first ever of the ri…

The pre-outburst flare of the A 0535+26 August/September 2005 outburst

I. Caballero, A. Santangelo, P. Kretschmar +11

We study the spectral and temporal behavior of the High Mass X-ray Binary A 0535+26 during a `pre-outburst flare' which took place ~5 d before the peak of a normal (type I) outburs…

INTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud

V. A. McBride, M. J. Coe, A. J. Bird +10

The first INTEGRAL observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (carried out in 2003) are reported in which two sources are clearly detected. The first source, SMC X-1, shows a hard…

Now you see it, now you don't - the circumstellar disk in the GRO J1008--57 system

M. J. Coe, A. J. Bird, A. B. Hill +7

Multiwavelength observations are reported here of the Be/X-ray binary pulsar system GRO J1008-57. Over ten years worth of data are gathered together to show that the periodic X-ray…

Long Term Cooling of Magnetar Crusts

David Eichler, Yuri Lyubarsky, Chryssa Kouveliotou +1

X-ray emission following giant flares of magnetars can be categorized into three categories of time scales (a) short term afterglow (b) medium term afterglow and (c) long term afte…

The Prelude to and Aftermath of the Giant Flare of 2004 December 27: Persistent and Pulsed X-ray Properties of SGR 1806-20 from 1993 to 2005

Peter M. Woods, Chryssa Kouveliotou, Mark H. Finger +5

On 2004 December 27, a highly-energetic giant flare was recorded from the magnetar candidate SGR 1806-20. In the months preceding this flare, the persistent X-ray emission from thi…
