چکیده

We analysed a dedicated NuSTAR observation of the neutron-star low-mass X-ray binary Z-source GX 13+1 to study timing and spectral properties source. From colour-colour diagram, we conclude that during source transitioned from normal branch flaring branch. fitted spectra in each with model consisting an accretion disc, Comptonised blackbody, relativistic reflection (relxillNS), photo-ionised absorption (warmabs). Thanks combination large effective area good energy resolution at high energies, found evidence both Fe K line profile, Compton hump present 10--25 keV range. The inner disc radius is $R_{\rm in} \lesssim 9.6~r_g$, which allowed us further constrain magnetic field strength $B 1.8 \times 10^8$ G. also for presence hot wind leading Ni, Ni overabundance $\sim$6 times solar. fits, find distance between ionising slab ionised absorbing material $\sim 4-40 10^5$ km. width boundary layer extends $\sim$3 km above surface neutron star, yielded NS}\lesssim 16$ scenario inferred modelling becomes self-consistent only electron densities disk, $n_e \sim 10^{22}-10^{23}$ cm$^{-3}$, as expected Shakura-Sunyaev significantly provided by relxillNS models.

X-ray neutron star magnetic field and magnetosphere evolution in low mass X-ray binary

The accretion induced neutron star magnetic field evolution is studied through considering the accretion flow to drag the field lines aside and dilute the polar field strength, and as a result the equatorial field strength increases and is buried inside the crust. The main conclusions of model are as follows: (i) the polar field decays with increasing the accreted mass; (ii) The bottom magnetic...

Relativistic Iron Line Emission from the Neutron Star Low-mass X-ray Binary 4u 1636-536

We present an analysis of XMM-Newton and RXTE data from three observations of the neutron star LMXB 4U 1636-536. The X-ray spectra show clear evidence of a broad, asymmetric iron emission line extending over the energy range 4–9 keV. The line profile is consistent with relativistically broadened Fe K-α emission from the inner accretion disk. The Fe K-α line in 4U 1636-536 is considerably broade...

Simultaneous radio and X-ray observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1

We present the results of two simultaneous X-ray/radio observations of the low-mass X-ray binary GX 13+1, performed in July/ August 1999 with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer and the Very Large Array. In X-rays the source was observed in two distinct spectral states; a soft state, which had a corresponding 6 cm flux density of ∼0.25 mJy, and a hard state, which was much brighter at 1.3–7.2 mJy. ...

Relativistic Disk Reflection in the Neutron Star X-ray Binary Xte J1709-267 with Nustar

We perform the first reflection study of the soft X-ray transient and Type 1 burst source XTE J1709-267 using NuSTAR observations during its 2016 June outburst. There was an increase in flux near the end of the observations, which corresponds to an increase from ∼0.04 LEdd to ∼0.06 LEdd assuming a distance of 8.5 kpc. We have separately examined spectra from the low and high flux intervals, whi...

X-ray spectral evolution of low-mass X-ray binary GX 349+2

We present the results of a systematic investigation of spectral evolution in the Z source GX 349+2, using data obtained during 1998 with Proportional Counter Array (PCA) on-board the RXTE satellite. The source traced a extended normal branch (NB) and flaring branch (FB) in the color-color diagram (CD) and hardness-intensity diagram (HID) during these observations. The spectra at different posi...
