High Energy Radiation from Neutron Star Binaries
T. Di Salvo, L. Stella
This paper surveys our current knowledge of the hard X-ray emission properties of old accreting neutron stars in low mass X-ray binaries. Hard X-ray components extending up to ener…
A fast X-ray timing capability on XEUS
D. Barret, G. Skinner, E. Kendziorra +6
Fast X-ray timing can be used to probe strong gravity fields around collapsed objects and constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars. These studies require ex…
RXJ0806.3+1527: a double degenerate binary with the shortest known orbital period (321s)
G. L. Israel, W. Hummel, S. Covino +13
We carried out optical observations of the field of the X-ray pulsator RXJ0806.3+1527. A blue V=21.1 star was found to be the only object consistent with the X-ray position. VLT FO…
A fast X-ray timing capability on XEUS
D. Barret, G. Skinner, E. Kendziorra +3
The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has demonstrated that fast X-ray timing can be used to probe strong gravity fields around collapsed objects and constrain the equation of state of d…
A BeppoSAX Observation of KS 1731-260 in its Quiescent State: Constraints on the NS Magnetic Field
L. Burderi, T. Di Salvo, L. Stella +10
We report here the results of a 90 ks BeppoSAX observation of the low mass X-ray binary and atoll source KS 1731-260 during a quiescent phase. From this observation we derive a sou…
On the Spectral Evolution of Cygnus X-2 along its Color-Color Diagram
T. Di Salvo, R. Farinelli, L. Burderi +6
We report on the results of a broad band (0.1-200 keV) spectral study of Cyg X-2 using two BeppoSAX observations taken in 1996 and 1997, respectively, for a total effective on-sour…
