HEXTE STUDIES OF SCO X–1 SPECTRA: DETECTIONS OF HARD X–RAY TAILS BEYOND 200 keV
Using the HEXTE experiment on-board the RXTE satellite, we performed a search for hard X–ray tails in Sco X–1 spectra. We found strong evidence for the presence of such a non–thermal component on several occasions. Using the PCA/RXTE we were able to track the position of the source along the Z diagram, and we observed that the presence of the hard X–ray tail is not confined to a particular regi...
متن کاملHard 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 کاملA Hard X - Ray View on Scorpius X - 1 with Integral : Non - Thermal Emission ?
We present here simultaneous INTEGRAL/RXTE observations of Sco X-1, and in particular a study of the hard X-ray emission of the source and its correlation with the position in the Z-track of the X-ray color-color diagram. We find that the hard X-ray (above about 30 keV) emission of Sco X-1 is dominated by a power-law component with a photon index of ∼ 3. The flux in the powerlaw component sligh...
متن کاملHard X-ray Timing with EXIST
The Energetic X-ray Timing Survey Telescope (EXIST) mission concept is under study as the Black Hole Finder Probe (BHFP), one of the three Einstein Probe missions in the Beyond Einstein Program in the current NASA Strategic Plan. EXIST would conduct an all-sky imaging hard X-ray (∼10-600 keV) survey with unprecedented sensitivity: about 5 ×10−13 cgs over any factor of 2 bandwidth, or comparable...
متن کاملX-ray Timing beyond the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer
With its ability to look at bright galactic X-ray sources with sub-millisecond time resolution, the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) discovered that the X-ray emission from accreting compact stars shows quasi-periodic oscillations on the dynamical timescales of the strong field region. RXTE showed also that waveform fitting of the oscillations resulting from hot spots at the surface of rapidl...
