Cygnus X-1: X-ray Emission Mechanism and Geometry
On 1996 May 10, the All-Sky Monitor aboard RXTE revealed that Cyg X–1 started a transition from its hard state to soft state (Cui 1996). Throughout this interesting episode, snapshots were taken with more sensitive detectors on ASCA, RXTE, and CGRO to monitor the temporal and spectral variability of the source over a broad energy range. The results (both spectral and temporal) from these observ...
متن کاملOrbital modulation of X - ray emission lines in Cygnus X - 3 .
Aims. We address the problem where the X-ray emission lines are formed and investigate orbital dynamics using Chandra HETG observations, photoionizing calculations and numerical wind-particle simulations. The aims were to set constraints on the masses of the components of this close binary system consisting of a Wolf-Rayet (WR) star and a compact component and to investigate the nature of the l...
متن کاملTransient Gamma-ray Emission from Cygnus X-3 Detected by AGILE: Leptonic and Hadronic Emission Models
The AGILE satellite detected several episodes of transient γ-ray emission from Cygnus X-3. Cross-correlating the AGILE light curve with both X-ray and radio monitoring data, we found that the main events of γ-ray activity were detected while the system was in soft spectral X-ray states, that coincide with local and often sharp minima of the hard X-ray flux, a few days before intense radio outbu...
متن کاملIron line emission in X–ray afterglows
Recent observations of X–ray afterglows reveal the presence of a redshifted Kα iron line in emission in four bursts. In GRB 991216, the line was detected by the low energy grating of Chandra, which showed the line to be broad, with a full width of ∼15,000 km s. These observations indicate the presence of a > 1 M⊙ of iron rich material in the close vicinity of the burst, most likely a supernova ...
متن کاملX-ray Line Emission in Hercules X-1
We find line emission from the hydrogen-and/or helium-like ions of Ne, O, N and C in the low and short-on states of Her X-1, using the XMM-Newton Reflection Grating Spectrometer. The emission line velocity broadening is 200 < σ < 500 km s −1. Plasma diagnostics with the Ne IX, O VII and N VI Heα lines and the radiative re-combination continua of O VII and N VII, indicate the gas is heated by ph...
