RXTE Monitoring of Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 4U 0142+61: Long-Term Variability
We report on 10 years of monitoring of the 8.7-s Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 4U 0142+61 using the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). This pulsar exhibited stable rotation from 2000 March until 2006 February: the RMS phase residual for a spin-down model which includes ν, ν̇, and ν̈ is 2.3%. We report a possible phase-coherent timing solution valid over a 10-yr span extending back to March 1996. A glit...
متن کاملLong-Term RXTE Monitoring of Anomalous X-ray Pulsars
We report on the long-term monitoring of three anomalous X-ray pulsars using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). We present a phase-coherent timing ephemeris for 4U 0142+61, and show that it has rotated with high stability over 4.4 yr, with RMS phase deviations of 7% of the pulse period from a simple fit including only ν and ν̇. We report on the continued timing stability of 1E 2259.1+586, f...
متن کامل0 Long - Term RXTE Monitoring of the Anomalous X - ray Pulsar 1 E 1048 . 1 − 5937
We report on long-term monitoring of the anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP) 1E 1048.1−5937 using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. The timing behavior of this pulsar is different from that of other AXPs being monitored with RXTE. In particular, we show that the pulsar shows significant deviations from simple spin-down such that phase-coherent timing has not been possible over time spans longer than a ...
متن کاملPronounced long term flux variability of the Anomalous X – ray Pulsar 1 E 1048 . 1 − 5937
We present XMM-Newton and Chandra observations of 1E 1048.1−5937 , being the first to show evidence for a significant variation in the X-ray luminosity of this Anomalous X–ray Pulsar (AXP). While during the first XMM-Newton (2000 December) and Chandra (2001 July) observations the source had a flux consistent with that measured on previous occasions (∼5×10 −12 erg cm −2 s −1), two more recent ob...
متن کاملRxte Studies of Long-term X-ray Spectral Variations in 4u 1820-30
We present the results of detailed spectral studies of the ultra-compact low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1820-30 carried out with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during 1996-7. 4U 1820-30 is an " atoll " source X-ray burster (XRB) located in the globular cluster NGC 6624. It is known to have an 11 minute binary period and a ∼ 176 day modulation in its 2–12 keV flux. Observations were mad...
