Accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars
I present an overview of our current observational knowledge of the six known accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars. A prominent place in this review is given to SAX J1808.4–3658; it was the first such system discovered and currently four outbursts have been observed from this source, three of which have been studied in detail using the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer satellite. This makes SAX...
متن کاملAn observational review of accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars
I present an observational review of the five currently known accretion-driven millisecond X-ray pulsars. A prominent place in this review is given to SAX J1808.4–3658; it was the first such system discovered and currently four outbursts have been observed from this source. This makes SAX J1808.4–3658 the best studied example of the group. Its most recent outburst in October 2002 is of particul...
متن کاملAccretion-powered millisecond pulsars
I review X-ray observations of accretion-powered millisecond pulsars and current theories for formation of their spectra and pulse profiles.
متن کاملTiming the accretion flow around accreting millisecond pulsars
At present, ten years after they were first discovered, ten accreting millisecond pulsars are known. I present a study of the aperiodic X-ray variability in three of these systems, which led to the discovery of simultaneous kHz quasi periodic oscillations in XTE J1807–294 and extremely strong broadband noise at unusually low variability frequencies in IGR J00291+5934. Furthermore, we classified...
متن کاملMillisecond Pulsars in X-Ray Binaries
Despite considerable evidence verifying that millisecond pulsars are spun up through sustained accretion in low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs), it has proven surprisingly difficult to actually detect millisecond X-ray pulsars in LMXBs. There are only 5 accretion-powered millisecond X-ray pulsars known among more than 80 LMXBs containing neutron stars, but there are another 11 “nuclear-powered” mil...
