A Second Intense Burst with Photospheric Radius Expansion from X2127+119 in M15
In 2000 September we observed a bright X-ray burst from X2127+119 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. This burst has a multi-peaked profile, a peak luminosity of ∼6.5×10 erg s, a total integrated energy of ∼2×10 ergs, and significant photospheric radius expansion to a maximum extent of R=118±5 km. From the luminositytemperature relation during the expansion phase we derive estimates for the g...
متن کاملSignature of Temporary Burning Front Stalling from a Non–Photospheric Radius Expansion Double-peaked Burst
Non-photospheric-radius-expansion (non-PRE) double-peaked bursts may be explained in terms of spreading (and temporary stalling) of thermonuclear flames on the neutron star surface, as we argued in a previous study of a burst assuming polar ignition. Here we analyze Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) Proportional Counter Array (PCA) data of such a burst (but with a considerably different intens...
متن کاملPhotospheric radius expansion X-ray bursts as standard candles
We examined the maximum bolometric peak luminosities during type I X-ray bursts from the persistent or transient luminous X-ray sources in globular clusters. We show that for about two thirds of the sources the maximum peak luminosities during photospheric radius expansion X-ray bursts extend to a critical value of 3.79±0.15×10 erg s, assuming the total X-ray burst emission is entirely due to b...
متن کاملMillisecond Oscillations and Photospheric Radius Expansion in Thermonuclear X-ray Bursts
We use archival data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer to examine 125 type I X-ray bursts from the 9 weakly magnetic accreting neutron stars where millisecond oscillations have been detected during some bursts. We find that oscillations from the 6 “fast” (≃ 600 Hz) sources are almost always observed during radius expansion bursts, whereas oscillations from the 3 “slow” (≃ 300 Hz) sources are...
متن کاملPhotospheric signatures imprinted on the γ-ray burst spectra
A solution is presented for the spectrum of high-energy GRB photons confined to a quasithermal baryonic photosphere. The solution is valid in the steady-state limit assuming the region under consideration is optically thick to the continuously injected photons. It is shown that for a high luminosity photosphere, the non-thermal electrons resulting from γ-ray Compton cooling lose their energy by...
