The recent discovery of burst oscillations at 1122 Hz in the x-ray transient XTE J1739-285, together with the measurement of the mass of the binary millisecond pulsar PSR J0751+180…
Timing an Accreting Millisecond Pulsar: Measuring the Accretion Torque in IGR J00291+5934
L. Burderi, T. Di Salvo, G. Lavagetto +7
We performed a timing analysis of the fastest accreting millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934 using RXTE data taken during the outburst of December 2004. We corrected the arrival time…
Chandra Observation of the Persistent Emission from the Dipping Source XB 1916-053
R. Iaria, T. Di Salvo, G. Lavagetto +2
We present the results of a 50 ks long Chandra observation of the dipping source XB 1916-053. During the observation two X-ray bursts occurred and the dips were not present at each…
