A possible signature of Lense-Thirring precession in dipping and eclipsing neutron-star low-mass X-ray binaries
Jeroen Homan
Relativistic Lense-Thirring precession of a tilted inner accretion disk around a compact object has been proposed as a mechanism for low-frequency (~0.01-70 Hz) quasi-periodic osci…
Superexpansion as a possible probe of accretion in 4U 1820-30
J. J. M. in 't Zand, J. Homan, L. Keek +1
The ultracompact X-ray binary 4U 1820-30 is well known for its ~170-d superorbital modulation in X-ray flux and spectrum, and the exclusiveness of bursting behavior to the low hard…
Low-frequency QPO from the 11 Hz accreting pulsar in Terzan 5: not frame dragging
D. Altamirano, A. Ingram, M. van der Klis +3
We report on 6 RXTE observations taken during the 2010 outburst of the 11 Hz accreting pulsar IGR J17480-2446 located in the globular cluster Terzan 5. During these observations we…
A superburst candidate in EXO 1745--248 as a challenge to thermonuclear ignition models
D. Altamirano, L. Keek, A. Cumming +6
We report on Chandra, RXTE, Swift/BAT and MAXI observations of a ~1 day X-ray flare and subsequent outburst of a transient X-ray source observed in October-November 2011 in the glo…
The Spectral Evolution along the Z track of the Bright Neutron Star X-ray Binary GX 17+2
Dacheng Lin, Ronald A. Remillard, Jeroen Homan +1
Z sources are bright neutron-star X-ray binaries, accreting at around the Eddington limit. We analyze the 68 RXTE observations (270 ks) of Sco-like Z source GX 17+2 made between 19…
The black hole candidate MAXIJ1659-152 in and towards quiescence in X-ray and radio
Peter G. Jonker, James C. A. Miller-Jones, J. Homan +5
In this paper we report on Expanded Very Large Array radio and Chandra and Swift X-ray observations of the outburst decay of the transient black hole candidate MAXI J1659-152 in 20…
