Observations of Circinus X-1 with Rxte
Data accumulated with RXTE during the active state of Cir X-1 as well as during an unusually long transition from the active state to the quiescent state are reported. The long decline from the active state allowed the source characteristics to be studied systematically as a function of intensity. The following results are presented: (1) spectral fits during entry into a dip clearly show absorp...
متن کاملAn asymmetric arcsecond radio jet from Circinus X-1
In observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array we have resolved the radio counterpart of the unusual X-ray binary Cir X-1 into an asymmetric extended structure on arcsecond scales. In order to quantify the asymmetry we have redetermined as accurately as possible both the optical and radio coordinates of the source. The extended emission can be understood as a compact, absorbed core ...
متن کاملLong - term X - ray variability of Circinus X - 1
We present an analysis of long term X-ray monitoring observations of Circinus X-1 (Cir X-1) made with four different instruments: Vela 5B, Ariel V ASM, Ginga ASM, and RXTE ASM, over the course of more than 30 years. We use Lomb-Scargle periodograms to search for the ∼16.5 day orbital period of Cir X-1 in each of these data sets and from this derive a new orbital ephemeris based solely on X-ray ...
متن کاملA Chandra Observation of the Circinus Galaxy
We report on a recent Chandra ACIS-S observation of the Circinus galaxy. These observations confirm that the nuclear spectrum results from reflection of a hard X-ray continuum by “neutral” matter. The nuclear X-ray emission is extended by ∼ 60 pc in the general direction of the optical “ionization cone”. An image in the Fe Kα line has been made and shows that this emission extends up to 200 pc ...
متن کاملParticle injection in the Circinus X-1 radio outbursts
A particle injection model has been applied to the radio outbursts of the X-ray binary Circinus X-1. The radio outbursts of this system have often been observed to exhibit a double peaked structure, i.e., with two apparent consecutive maxima. We show here that particle injection models can account for such observed behaviour provided that a time variable particle injection rate is adopted. Seve...
