Optical polarimetry and infrared photometry of two AM Her binaries: 1RXS J161008.0+035222 and 1RXS J231603.9-052713
C. V. Rodrigues, F. J. Jablonski, F. D'Amico +4
We present the first optical circular and linear polarization measurements of two polar candidates from ROSAT: 1RXS J161008.0+035222 and 1RXS J231603.9-052713. We also present H ba…
Circular polarimetry of magnetic cataclysmic variables
Claudia V. Rodrigues, Deonisio Cieslinski, Francisco J. Jablonski +4
Magnetic cataclysmic variables are complex accreting binary systems with short orbital periods. Here we present circular polarimetry of five magnetic cataclysmic variable candidate…
Long Term Studies of Z sources with HEXTE/RXTE
F. D'Amico, W. A. Heindl, R. E. Rothschild
We have analyzed the long pointed observations of the Z sources in the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) public archive to study the high energy emission in those sources. Our ana…
Mirax: A Brazilian X-Ray Astronomy Satellite Mission
J. Braga, R. Rothschild, J. Heise +9
We describe the ``Monitor e Imageador de Raios-X'' (MIRAX), an X-ray astronomy satellite mission proposed by the high energy astrophysics group at the National Institute for Space…
Studies of Hard X-ray Tails in Z sources with RXTE/HEXTE
F. D'Amico, W. A. Heindl, R. E. Rothschild +1
We report RXTE results of spectral analyses of three (Sco X-1, GX 349+2, and Cyg X-2) out of the 6 known Z sources, with emphasis in the hard X-ray emission. No hard X-ray tails we…
HEXTE Detections of Hard X-Ray Tails in Sco X-1
F. D'Amico, W. A. Heindl, R. E. Rothschild +1
We report the detection of a non-thermal hard X-ray component from Sco X-1 based upon the analysis of 20-220 keV spectra obtained with the HEXTE experiment on-board the RXTE satell…
