Discovery of a 9-s X-Ray Pulsar, AX J0049−732, in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We report on an ASCA discovery of a new X-ray pulsar, AX J0049−732, in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). The pulse shape is sinusoidal with a barycentric period of 9.1320 ± 0.0004 s. The X-ray spectrum was fitted by an absorbed power-law model with a photon index of 0.6 −0.7 and a column density of 1.3 −1.3 × 10 22 cm. An unabsorbed flux at 0.7–10.0 keV was estimated to be 8× 10 erg cm s corres...
متن کاملDiscovery of a Possible Anomalous X-ray Pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud
We report the serendipitous detection of a previously unreported pulsar from the direction of the Small Magellanic Cloud using data from the CHANDRA X-Ray Observatory. Because of its luminosity (∼ 1.5× 10 ergs/s), its near lack of variability for more than 20 years, and its soft spectrum we propose that it is an anomalous X-ray pulsar (AXP). Data from the ROSAT PSPC in conjunction with the CHAN...
متن کاملDiscovery of a new Transient X-Ray Pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud
Systematic Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) have revealed a previously unknown transient X-ray pulsar with a pulse period of 95s. The 95s pulsar, provisionally designated XTE SMC95, was detected in three Proportional Counter Array (PCA) observations during an outburst spanning 4 weeks in March/April 1999. The pulse profile is double peaked reac...
متن کاملX-Ray and Optical Observations of XTE J0052-723 a Transient Be/X-Ray Pulsar in the Small Magellanic Cloud
On December 27th 2000 during our regular SMC monitoring program with Rossi Xray Timing Explorer (RXTE) strong pulsations were detected with a period of 4.78 seconds. Subsequent slew observations performed on Jan 9 and 13 across the field of view allowed localisation of the pulsar’s position to RA: 05217, Dec: 721951 (J2000). The outburst continued until Jan 24, 7 PCA observations were obtained ...
متن کاملXMM-Newton observations of the Small Magellanic Cloud: XMMU J004814.1-731003, a 25.55 s Be/X-ray binary pulsar
Aims. To investigate candidates for Be/X-ray binaries in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC), we observed a region around the emission nebula N19 with XMM-Newton in October 2006. Methods. We analysed the EPIC data of the detected point sources to derive their spectral and temporal characteristics. Results. We detected X-ray pulsations with a period of 25.550(2) s from the second-brightest source i...
