Bepposax/pds Observation of Vela X–1
Vela X–1 has been observed by the Italian/Dutch X–ray satellite BeppoSAX during its Science Verification Phase. During the ∼ 50 ksec observation (orbital phases 0.27–0.34) two different intensity state are present, situation very common in this source. We report results from the pulse phase averaged and pulse phase resolved spectroscopy from the high-energy instrument PDS aboard BeppoSAX.
متن کاملVariation in Emission and Absorption Lines and Continuum Flux by Orbital Phase in Vela X - 1
High resolution spectral studies were undertaken at orbital phases (φ) 0, 0.25 and 0.5 on the high-mass X-ray binary (HMXB) Vela X-1 using archival Chandra data. We present (a) the first detailed analysis of the multiple strong narrow emission lines present in φ 0.5 (b) an analysis of the absorption of the continuum in φ 0.5, and (c) the first detection of narrow emission and absorption lines i...
متن کاملVela X - 1 as seen by RXTE
We present results from four observations of the ac-creting X-ray pulsar Vela X-1 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in 1996 February. The light curves show strong pulse to pulse variations, while the average pulse profiles are quite stable, similar to previous results. Below 5 keV the pulse profiles display a complex , 5-peaked structure with a transition to a simple, double peak abov...
متن کاملEscape from Vela X
Whilst the Vela pulsar and its associated nebula are often considered as the archetype of a system powered by a ∼10 year old isolated neutron star, many features of the spectral energy distribution of this pulsar wind nebula are both puzzling and unusual. Here we develop a model that for the first time relates the main structures in the system, the extended radio nebula (ERN) and the Xray cocoo...
متن کاملThe Ionized Stellar Wind in Vela X-1 during Eclipse
We present a first analysis of a high resolution X-ray spectrum of the ionized stellar wind of Vela X-1 during eclipse. The data were obtained with the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer onboard the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The spectrum is resolved into emission lines with fluxes between 0.02 and 1.04×10−4 photons cm−2s−1. We identify lines from a variety of charge states, includin...
