چکیده
Abstract We present the first joint NuSTAR and NICER observations of ultracompact X-ray binary (UCXB) 4U 1543?624 obtained in 2020 April. The source was at a luminosity L 0.5?50 keV = 4.9( D /7 kpc) 2 × 10 36 erg s ?1 showed evidence reflected emission form an O viii line, Fe K Compton hump within spectrum. used full reflection model, known as xillverCO , that is tailored for atypical abundances found UCXBs, to account emission. tested radii line components conclude they originate from common disk radius innermost region accretion ( R ? 1.07 ISCO ). Assuming compact accretor neutron star (NS) position inner Alfvén radius, we placed upper limit on magnetic field strength be B 0.7( 8 G poles. Given lack pulsations detected it likely boundary layer had formed between NS surface edge with extent 1.2 km. This implies maximum 12.1 km when assuming canonical mass 1.4 M ? .

The Orbital Period of the Ultracompact Low-mass X-ray Binary 4u 1543–624
We report the discovery of the orbital period of the ultracompact low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1543−624 using time-resolved optical photometry taken with the 6.5-m Clay (Magellan II) telescope in Chile. The light curve in the Sloan r band clearly shows a periodic, sinusoidal modulation at 18.2±0.1 min with a fractional semiamplitude of 8%, which we identify as the binary period. This is the ...

We report on observations of the neutron star (NS) residing in the low-mass X-ray binary 1RXS J180408.934205 taken 2015 March by NuSTAR and XMM-Newton while the source was in the hard spectral state. We find multiple reflection features (Fe Kα detected with NuSTAR; N VII, O VII, and O VIII detected in the RGS) from different ionization zones. Through joint fits using the self consistent relativ...
متن کاملSimultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1
We present the results of two simultaneous X-ray/radio observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1, performed in July/ August 1999 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Very Large Array. In X-rays the source was observed in two distinct spectral states; a soft state, which had a corresponding 6 cm flux density of ∼0.25 mJy, and a hard state, which was much brighter at 1.3–7.2 mJy. ...
