An RXTE Observation of the Vela Pulsar: Filling in the X-ray Gap
We have detected pulsed emission from the Vela pulsar at 2 30 keV during a 93 ks observation with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The RXTE pulse profile shows two peaks, that are roughly in phase with the EGRET peaks, but does not show any significant interpeak emission. The phase of Peak 2 is energy dependent, moving to higher phase with increasing energy in the RXTE band, in phase ali...
متن کاملObservations of the Transient X - ray Pulsar KS 1947 + 300 by the INTEGRAL and RXTE Observatories
We analyze the observations of the X-ray pulsar KS 1947+300 performed by the INTEGRAL and RXTE observatories over a wide (3-100 keV) X-ray energy range. The shape of the pulse profile was found to depend on the luminosity of the source. Based on the model of a magnetized neutron star, we study the characteristics of the pulsar using the change in its spin-up rate. We estimated the magnetic fiel...
متن کاملRxte and Bepposax Observations of the Transient X-ray Pulsar Xte J1859+083
We present observations of the 9.8 s X-ray pulsar XTEJ1859+083 made with the ASM and PCA on board RXTE, and the WFC on board BeppoSAX. The ASM data cover a 12 year time interval and show that an extended outburst occurred between approximately MJD 50,250 and 50,460 (1996 June 16 to 1997 January 12). The ASM data excluding this outburst interval suggest a possible modulation with a period of 60....
متن کاملA Sequence of Outbursts from the Transient X-ray Pulsar
GS 0834[430, a 12.3 s accretion-powered pulsar, has been observed in seven outbursts with the BATSE large-area detectors on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. The Ðrst Ðve outbursts observed by BATSE occurred at intervals of about 107 days, while the Ðnal two outbursts were separated by about 140 days. The photon energy spectrum, measured by Earth occultation in the 20È100 keV band, can be Ðtte...
متن کاملX-ray flaring activity of Markarian 421
We report results from a systematic search for X-ray flares from Mrk 421, using archival data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) satellite. The flares are clearly seen over a wide range of timescales. The quasicontinuous coverage of the source with the All-SkyMonitor (ASM) reveals frequent occurrence of major flares that last for months. On a few occasions, the source was intensively m...
