The Low Quiescent X-ray Luminosity of the Neutron Star Transient Xte J2123–058
We report on the first X-ray observations of the neutron star soft X-ray transient (SXT) XTE J2123–058 in quiescence, made by the Chandra X-ray Observatory and BeppoSAX, as well as contemporaneous optical observations. In 2002, the Chandra spectrum of XTE J2123–058 is consistent with a power-law model, or the combination of a blackbody plus a power-law, but it is not well-described by a pure bl...
متن کاملXTE J2123–058: A New Neutron Star X-Ray Transient
We report on optical and RXTE observations of a new high-latitude bursting X-ray transient, XTE J2123–058. We identified the optical counterpart and discovered a 5.9573 ± 0.0016 hr periodic optical modulation, which was subsequently shown to be the same as the spectroscopic orbital period. From the absence of orbital X-ray modulation and the presence of partial optical eclipses the binary incli...
متن کاملQuiescent X-ray variability from the neutron star transient Aql X-1
A number of studies have revealed variability from neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries during quiescence. Such variability is not well characterized, or understood, but may be a common property that has been missed due to lack of multiple observations. One such source where variability has been observed is Aql X-1. Here, we analyse 14 Chandra and XMM–Newton observations of Aql X-1 in quiescenc...
متن کاملX-ray Variability during the Quiescent State of the Neutron Star X-ray Transient in the Globular Cluster Ngc 6440
The globular cluster NGC 6440 is known to harbor a bright neutron star X-ray transient. We observed the globular cluster with Chandra on two occasions when the bright transient was in its quiescent state, in 2000 July and 2003 June (both observations were made nearly 2 yr after the end of their preceding outbursts). The quiescent spectrum during the first observation is well represented by a tw...
