Fast X-ray Oscillations During Magnetar Flares
The giant flares produced by highly magnetized neutron stars, "magnetars," are the brightest sources of high energy radiation outside our solar system. Serendipitous observations with NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) of the two most recent flares resulted in the discovery of high frequency oscillations in their X-ray fluxes. The frequencies of these oscillations range from = 20 Hz to a...

متن کاملMultiple and variable X - ray sources in the globular clusters
We detect stars from the Hipparcos and Tycho Catalogues in the field of view of observations with the ROSAT HRI of three globular clusters. We use the positions of these stars to reduce the systematic error in the positions of X-ray sources in the clusters to ∼ 2′′ for ω Cen and NGC 6752, and 1′′ for NGC 6397. We detect three X-ray sources in the core of ω Cen, and four in the core of NGC 6752;...
متن کاملCosmic X-ray Sources
The atmosphere of the Earth is opaque to most wavelengths of light in the infrared, in the ultraviolet and in the X-rays. Due to this fact observation of celestial objects in X-rays (in the range of energies from 0.5 to 20 keV) must be carried out outside the atmosphere at altitudes greater than 100 kilometers, namely from space. The development of X-ray astronomy had therefore to await the dev...
متن کاملUltraluminous X-ray Sources
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory was used to image the collisional ring galaxy Arp 147 for 42 ks. We detect nine X-ray sources with luminosities in the range of (1.4–7) × 1039 erg s−1 (assuming that the sources emit isotropically) in or near the blue knots of star formation associated with the ring. A source with an X-ray luminosity of 1.4 × 1040 erg s−1 is detected in the nuclear region of the in...
