Study the X - ray Dust Scattering Halos with Chandra Observations of Cygnus X - 3 and Cygnus X - 1
We improve the method proposed by Yao et al (2003) to resolve the X-ray dust scattering halos of point sources. Using this method we re-analyze the Cygnus X-1 data observed with Chandra (ObsID 1511) and derive the halo radial profile in different energy bands and the fractional halo intensity (FHI) as I(E) = 0.402×E keV. We also apply the method to the Cygnus X-3 data (Chandra ObsID 425) and de...
متن کاملBinary corrected X-ray light curve of Cygnus X-3: Implications for the timing properties of the compact binary system
We study the binary corrected X-ray light curve of Cygnus X-3 using the RXTE-ASM (All Sky Monitor) data and RXTE-PCA data. We find that the X-ray template derived from the EXOSAT observations adequately explains the binary variations. Using the recently determined quadratic binary ephemeris we correct the RXTE-PCA lightcurve and obtain the power spectrum which shows distinct features of shiftin...
متن کاملThe Properties of X-ray and Optical Light Curves of X-ray Novae
We have collected the available data from the literature and from public data archives covering the past two decades for the long-term X-ray and optical light curves of X-ray nova (XN) outbursts. XN outbursts are due to episodic accretion events, primarily in low-mass X-ray binaries normally characterized by low mass transfer rates. Dynamical studies indicate that most XNs contain a black hole....
