چکیده
Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT Chandra and XMM-Newton X-ray data reveal that the supersoft X-ray binary CAL 83 exhibits 38.4 minute pulsations at some epochs. These X-ray variations are similar to those found in some novae and are likely to be caused by nonradial pulsations the white dwarf. This is the first detection of pulsations in a persistent supersoft source.

Received ; accepted – 2 – ABSTRACT We have studied five seasons of OGLE-III data for eight SMC Be/X-ray pulsars for which no other survey data were available. We have determined orbital periods for four of these binary systems, one of which also shows nonradial pulsations. Optical identification of SMC X-2 is reconsidered, but no periods were found for either of the two possible candidates.

We report the discovery of millisecond pulsations from the low-mass X-ray binary HETE J1900.1-2455 which was discovered by the detection of a type I X-ray burst by the High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2). The neutron star emits coherent pulsations at 377.3 Hz and is in an 83.3 minute circular orbit with a companion with a mass greater than 0.016 M ⊙ and likely less than 0.07 M ⊙. The comp...
