Quasi-Periodic Oscillations and broadband variability in short magnetar bursts
Daniela Huppenkothen, Anna L. Watts, Phil Uttley +7
The discovery of quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs) in magnetar giant flares has opened up prospects for neutron star asteroseismology. However, with only three giant flares ever r…
The Fermi-GBM X-ray burst monitor: thermonuclear bursts from 4U 0614+09
M. Linares, V. Connaughton, P. Jenke +12
Thermonuclear bursts from slowly accreting neutron stars (NSs) have proven difficult to detect, yet they are potential probes of the thermal properties of the neutron star interior…
LOFT: the Large Observatory For X-ray Timing
M. Feroci, J. W. den Herder, E. Bozzo +245
The LOFT mission concept is one of four candidates selected by ESA for the M3 launch opportunity as Medium Size missions of the Cosmic Vision programme. The launch window is curren…
Signs of Magnetic Accretion in the X-ray Pulsar Binary GX 301-2
N. R. Ikhsanov, M. H. Finger
Observations of the cyclotron resonance scattering feature in the X-ray spectrum of GX 301-2 suggest that the surface field of the neutron star is B_CRSF ~ 4 x 10^{12}G. The same v…
SGR J1550-5418 bursts detected with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor during its most prolific activity
A. J. van der Horst, C. Kouveliotou, N. M. Gorgone +32
We have performed detailed temporal and time-integrated spectral analysis of 286 bursts from SGR J1550-5418 detected with the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) in January 2009, r…
Spin period evolution of the X-ray pulsar GX 1+4
A. González-Galán, E. Kuulkers, P. Kretschmar +4
We report on the long-term evolution of the spin period of the symbiotic X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 and a possible interpretation within a model of quasi-spherical accretion. New period m…
