Discovery of 1323 s pulsations from RX J 0103 . 6 − 7201 : the longest period X - ray pulsar in the SMC ⋆
XMM-Newton archival observations of the Be/X-ray binary candidate RX J0103.6−7201 revealed pulsations with a period of ∼1323 s. This makes RX J0103.6−7201 the X-ray pulsar with the longest period known in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). More than 150 X-ray observations of RX J0103.6−7201 by ROSAT, Chandra and XMM-Newton show flux variations by a factor of 50 on time scales of days to years. U...
متن کاملDiscovery of pulsations from the Be / X - ray binary RX J 0101 . 3 − 7211 in the SMC by XMM - Newton ⋆
We report pulsations in the X-ray flux of RXJ0101.3−7211 in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with a period of (455 ± 2) s in XMM-Newton EPIC-PN data. The X-ray spectrum can be described by a power-law with a photon index of 0.6±0.1. Timing analysis of ROSAT PSPC and HRI archival data confirms the pulsations and indicates a period increase of ∼ 5 s since 1993. RXJ0101.3−7211 varied in brightness...
متن کاملDiscovery of 172-s Pulsations from a Be/X-ray Binary Candidate AX J0051.6−7311 in the SMC with ASCA
The results from three ASCA observations of AX J0051.6−7311 = RX J0051.9−7311 are reported. Coherent pulsations with a barycentric period of 172.40± 0.03 s were discovered in the third observation, with an exceptionally long exposure time of ∼ 177 ks. The X-ray spectrum was found to remain unchanged through these observations, with a photon index of ∼ 0.9. Energy-resolved pulse profiles in the ...
متن کاملDiscovery of the Slowest X-Ray Pulsar in the SMC, AX J0049.5−7323, with ASCA
The discovery of coherent pulsations with ASCA from an X-ray source, AX J0049.5−7323, is reported. The barycentric period was determined to be 755.5± 0.6 s, which is the longest among X-ray pulsators in the SMC. The X-ray spectrum has been found to be unchanged through ASCA observations, with a photon index of ∼ 0.8 and a luminosity of ∼ 5× 10 erg s (0.7–10 keV). Archival data of the Einstein a...
