Evidence for Black Hole Spin in GX 339-4: XMM-Newton EPIC-pn and RXTE Spectroscopy of the Very High State

J. M. Miller, A. C. Fabian, C. S. Reynolds +9

We have analyzed spectra of the Galactic black hole GX 339-4 obtained through simultaneous 76 ksec XMM-Newton/EPIC-pn and 10 ksec RXTE observations during a bright phase of its 200…

Optical spectra of the carbon-oxygen accretion discs in the ultra-compact X-ray binaries 4U 0614+09, 4U 1543-624 and 2S 0918-549

G. Nelemans, P. G. Jonker, T. R. Marsh +1

We present optical spectra in the range 4600 -- 8600 A for three low-mass X-ray binaries which have been suggested to belong to the class of ultra-compact X-ray binaries based on t…

The faint neutron star soft X-ray transient SAX J1810.8-2609 in quiescence

P. G. Jonker, R. Wijnands, M. van der Klis

We present the analysis of a 35 ksec long Chandra observation of the neutron star soft X-ray transient (SXT) SAX J1810.8-2609. We detect three sources in the field of view. The pos…

Timing properties and spectral states in Aquila X-1

P. Reig, S. van Straaten, M. van der Klis

We have analyzed five X-ray outbursts of the neutron-star soft X-ray transient Aql X-1 and investigated the timing properties of the source in correlation with its spectral states…

A transient variable 6 Hz QPO from GX 339-4

Elisa Nespoli, Tomaso Belloni, Jeroen Homan +4

We report the results of an observation with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of the black hole candidate GX 339-4 during its 2002/2003 outburst. This observation took place during…

The aperiodic timing behaviour of the accretion-driven millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658

S. van Straaten, M. van der Klis, R. Wijnands

We studied the aperiodic X-ray timing behaviour of the accreting millisecond pulsar SAX J1808.4-3658. The source was recently found to be the first accreting millisecond pulsar tha…
