Modelling the outburst profile of X-ray powered millisecond pulsars
Maurizio Falanga
The outbursts of low mass X-ray binaries are prolonged relative to those of dwarf nova cataclysmic variables as a consequence of X-ray irradiation of the disc. We show that the tim…
Influence of Compton scattering on the broad-band X-ray spectra of intermediate polars
V. Suleimanov, J. Poutanen, M. Falanga +1
The majority of cataclysmic variables observed in the hard X-ray energy band are intermediate polars where the magnetic field is strong enough to channel the accreting matter to th…
Modulated X-ray Emissivity near the Stress Edge in Sgr A*
M. Falanga, F. Melia, M. Prescher +2
Sgr A* is thought to be the radiative manifestation of a ~3.6E6 Msun supermassive black hole at the Galactic center. Its mm/sub-mm spectrum and its flare emission at IR and X-ray w…
Intermediate long X-ray bursts from the ultra-compact binary source SLX 1737-282
M. Falanga, J. Chenevez, A. Cumming +3
Aims: The low persistent X-ray burster source SLX 1737-282 is classified as an ultra-compact binary candidate. We compare the data on SLX 1737-282 with the other similar objects an…
X-Ray Eclipse Time Delays in 4U2129+47
E. Bozzo, M. Falanga, A. Papitto +8
4U 2129+47 was discovered in the early 80's and classified as an accretion disk corona source due to its broad and partial X-ray eclipses. The 5.24 hr binary orbital period was inf…
IGR J17254-3257, a new bursting neutron star
J. Chenevez, M. Falanga, E. Kuulkers +6
The study of the observational properties of uncommonly long bursts from low luminosity sources with extended decay times up to several tens of minutes is important when investigat…
