Accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars
Rudy Wijnands
I present an overview of our current observational knowledge of the six known accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars. A prominent place in this review is given to SAX J1808.4-3…
Crust cooling curves of accretion-heated neutron stars
Rudy Wijnands
We discuss the recent efforts to use a sub-class of neutron-star X-ray transients (the quasi-persistent transients) to probe the properties of neutron-star crusts and cores. Quasi-…
The crust cooling curve of the neutron star in MXB 1659-29
Rudy Wijnands
We have monitored the quasi-persistent neutron-star X-ray transient MXB 1659-29 in quiescence using Chandra. The purpose of our observations was to monitor the quiescent behavior o…
Long-duration neutron star X-ray transients in quiescence: the Chandra observation of KS 1731-260
Rudy Wijnands
I will briefly discuss the implications of the recent quiescent Chandra observation of the long-duration neutron star transient KS 1731-260 (Wijnands et al. 2001a) on models for qu…
Non-detection of kHz QPOs in GX 9+1 and GX 9+9
Rudy Wijnands, Michiel van der Klis, Jan van Paradijs
In numerous low-mass X-ray binaries kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (kHz QPOs) are detected. We observed the atoll sources GX 9+1 and GX 9+9 with the RXTE satellite. Both sources w…
Ginga observations of Cygnus X-2
R. A. D. Wijnands, M. van der Klis, E. Kuulkers +2
We analysed all X-ray data on the low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X-2 obtained with Ginga. The analysis of the spectral and fast timing behaviour of these 4 years of data provides new…
