The 2007 outburst of the X - ray binary XTE J 1856 + 053 ⋆
Aims. On 28 February 2007 a new outburst of the previously known transient source XTE J1856+053 was detected with RXTE/ASM. We present here the results of an XMM-Newton (0.5–10.0 keV) Target of Opportunity observation performed on 14 March 2007, aimed at constraining the mass of the compact object in this X-ray binary and determining its main properties. Methods. The EPIC-pn camera was used in ...
متن کاملThe 2005 outburst of the halo black hole X - ray transient XTE
We present optical and infrared monitoring of the 2005 outburst of the halo black hole X-ray transient XTE J1118+480. We measured a total outburst amplitude of ∼ 5.7±0.1 mag in the R band and ∼ 5 mag in the infrared J, H and K s bands. The hardness ratio HR2 (5-12 keV/3-5 keV) from the RXTE/ASM data is 1.53±0.02 at the peak of the outburst indicating a hard spectrum. Both the shape of the light...
متن کاملThe X-ray Transient Xte J1118+480: Multiwavelength Observations of a Low-state Mini-outburst
We present multiwavelength observations of the newly discovered X-ray transient XTEJ1118+480 obtained in the rising phase of the 2000 April outburst. This source is located at unusually high Galactic latitude and in a very low absorption line of sight. This made the first EUVE spectroscopy of an X-ray transient outburst possible. Together with our HST, RXTE, and UKIRT data this gives unpreceden...
متن کاملXmm-newton Spectroscopy of the Accretion-driven Millisecond X-ray Pulsar Xte J1751-305 in Outburst
We present an analysis of the first high-resolution spectra measured from an accretion-driven millisecond Xray pulsar in outburst. We observed XTE J1751–305 with XMM-Newton on 2002 April 7 for approximately 35 ks. Using a simple absorbed blackbody plus power-law model, we measure an unabsorbed flux of 6.6± 0.1× 10−10 erg cm−2 s−1 (0.5–10.0 keV). A hard power-law component (Γ = 1.44± 0.01) contr...
