Rxte Studies of Long-term X-ray Spectral Variations in 4u 1820-30
We present the results of detailed spectral studies of the ultra-compact low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1820-30 carried out with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during 1996-7. 4U 1820-30 is an " atoll " source X-ray burster (XRB) located in the globular cluster NGC 6624. It is known to have an 11 minute binary period and a ∼ 176 day modulation in its 2–12 keV flux. Observations were mad...
متن کاملBepposax/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 کاملThe recent pulse period evolution of SMC X - 1
We report observations of SMC X-1 in three new high-intensity states with ROSAT HRI in December 1995, May 1997, and March 1998 in which pulsations with a period of 0.70769 (± 0.00006) s, 0.70706 (± 0.00001) s, and 0.706707 (± 0.00001) s respectively were detected. Combining the pulse periods from observations with ROSAT PSPC in high-intensity states in October 1991 and March 1998, respectively,...
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 کاملThe Vela X–1 pulse-averaged spectrum as observed by BeppoSAX
We report on the 20 ksec observation of Vela X–1 performedbyBeppoSAX on1996 July 14 during its ScienceVerification Phase. We observed the source in two intensity states, characterized by a change in luminosity of a factor ∼ 2, and a change in absorption of a factor ∼ 10. The single Narrow Field Instrument pulse-averaged spectra are well fit by a power law with significantly different indices. T...
