چکیده

We report the results of observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer of the black-hole candidate GX 339-4 during the state transition of 1998. We find that both the X-ray spectrum and the characteristic of the time variability after the transition are typical of a high/soft state. We cannot exclude that the source went through an Intermediate State before entering the high state. We discuss the results and compare them with other known black hole candidates.

We report for the first time the detection of long-term X-ray variability in the bright bulge source GX 354–0 (=4U 1728–34) observed with the All Sky Monitor (ASM) on board the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The 2-year RXTE ASM database reveals significant power at ∼ 72 days. Similar behaviour was seen in the 6-year Ariel 5 ASM database, but at a period of ∼ 63 days. The timescales and lig...

Among the Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) that have suffered type mutations, the classically classified Seyfert 2 NGC 7582 recently found at a Seyfert 1 stage, is perhaps one of the most puzzling cases, since it defies a well supported case for unification. We investigate the possibility that this type transition, common to other 12 AGN, is driven by supernovae (SN) exploding in a nuclear/circumnu...

New additional equations for the Newtonian dynamical systems on Riemannian manifolds are found. They supplement the previously found weak normality conditions up to the complete normality conditions for Newtonian dynamical systems.
