XTE J1739–302 as a Supergiant Fast X-ray Transient
XTE J1739–302 is a transient X-ray source with unusually short outbursts, lasting on the order of hours. Here we give a summary of X-ray observations we have made of this object in outburst with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) and at a low level of activity with the Chandra X-ray Observatory, as well as observations made by other groups. Visible and infrared spectroscopy of the mass dono...
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 کاملThe X - ray Transient XTE J 2012 + 381
We present optical and infrared observations of the soft X-ray transient (SXT) XTEJ2012+381 and identify the optical counterpart with a faint red star heavily blended with a brighter foreground star. The fainter star is coincident with the radio counterpart and appears to show weak Hα emission and to have faded between observations. The RXTE/ASM lightcurve of XTE J2012+381 is unusual for an SXT...
متن کاملXTE J1739-302: An Unusual New X-ray Transient
A new x-ray transient, designated XTE J1739–302, was discovered with the Proportional Counter Array (PCA) on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) in data from 12 August 1997. Although it was the brightest source in the Galactic Center region while active (about 3.0× 10ergs cms from 2 to 25 keV), it was only observed on that one day; it was not detectable nine days earlier or two days later. T...
متن کاملThe Formation of Low–mass Transient X–ray Binaries
We consider constraints on the formation of low–mass X–ray binaries containing neutron stars (NLMXBs) arising from the presence of soft X–ray transients among these systems. For a neutron star mass M1 ≃ 1.4M⊙ at formation, we show that in short– period (∼< 1− 2 d) systems driven by angular momentum loss these constraints require the secondary at the beginning of mass transfer to have a mass 1.3...
