Hard X-Ray Lightcurves of High Mass X-Ray Binaries
Using the 9 years of continuous data now available from the Burst And Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) aboard CGRO, we have measured orbital periods and produced folded lightcurves for 8 High Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXB). Given the length of the datasets, our determinations are based on many more binary orbits than previous investigations. Thus our source detections have high statistical signi...
متن کاملForty Years of X-Ray Binaries
In 2012 it was forty years ago that the discovery of the first X-ray binary Centaurus X-3 became known. That same year it was discovered that apart from the High-Mass X-ray Binaries (HMXBs) there are also Low-Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs), and that Cygnus X-1 is most probably a black hole. By 1975 also the new class of Be/X-ray binaries was discovered. After this it took 28 years before ESAs INTE...
متن کاملHard X-ray Emission From Low Mass X-ray Binaries
We report on Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer observations of four type I X-ray bursters; namely 1E1724– 3045, GS1826–238, SLX1735–269 and KS1731-260. The first three were in a low state, with 1-200 keV Xray luminosities in the range ∼ 0.05−0.1 LEdd (LEdd: Eddington luminosity for a neutron star = 2.5×10 38 ergs s), whereas KS1731-260 was in a high state with a luminosity ∼ 0.35 LEdd. The low state ...
متن کاملTowards Three Bursting Low - Mass X - ray Binaries from High Resolution X - ray Spectroscopy
We measured the galactic hydrogen column densities to the neutron-star binaries GX 17+2, 4U 1705−44, and 4U 1728−34 by modeling the Mg and Si absorption edges found in high-resolution X-ray spectra obtained by the Chandra X-ray Observatory. We found for GX 17+2, NH = (2.38 ± 0.12) × 10 22 cm, for 4U 1705−44, NH = (2.44 ± 0.09) × 10 cm, and for 4U 1728−34, NH = (2.49 ± 0.14) × 10 22 cm. These va...
