Bright X - ray bursts from 1 E 1724 - 3045 in Terzan 2
نویسندگان
چکیده
During about 3 years wide field monitoring of the Galactic Centre region by the WFC telescopes on board the BeppoSAX satellite, a total of 14 type-I X-ray bursts were detected from the burster 1E 1724-3045 located in the globular cluster Terzan 2. All the observed events showed evidence of photospheric radius expansion due to Eddington-limit burst luminosity, thus leading to an estimate of the source distance (~7.2 kpc). Preliminary results of the analysis of the bursts are presented.

Discovery of Kilohertz Quasi-periodic Oscillations and State Transitions in the Low-mass X-ray Binary 1e 1724–3045 (terzan 2)
We have studied the rapid X-ray time variability in 99 pointed observations with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE)’s Proportional Counter Array of the low-mass X-ray binary 1E 1724–3045 which includes, for the first time, observations of this source in its island and banana states, confirming the atoll nature of this source. We report the discovery of kilohertz quasi-periodic oscillations ...
متن کاملAn ASCA X - ray observation of 1 E 1724 - 3045 in the globular cluster
The bright persistent X-ray source and type I X-ray burster 1E1724-3045 located in the globular cluster Terzan 2 was observed by ASCA for about 10 ksec on September 24-25th, 1995 while it was in its hard state, with a luminosity of ∼ 6×1036 ergs s−1 in the 0.5-10 keV band (d=7.7 kpc). The ASCA spectrum is hard, and reveals the presence of a soft component below 2-3 keV. When combined with non s...
متن کاملBroad Band X - ray Spectrum of the Burster 1 E 1724 - 3045
The X-ray burster 1E1724-3045 located in the globular cluster Terzan 2 is known as one of the persistent (though variable) hard X-ray sources as shown by the SIGMA observations of the Galactic Center region. 1E1724-3045 was observed with the PCA and HEXTE experiments onboard the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) on November 1996 for about 100 ksec. The broad band spectral capability and sensit...
متن کاملBursts , eclipses , dips and a refined position for the luminous low - mass X - ray binary in the globular cluster Terzan 6
GRS 1747-312 is a bright transient X-ray source in the globular cluster Terzan 6 with quasi-periodic outbursts approximately every 4.5 months. We carried out 2–60 keV target-of-opportunity observations during eight outbursts with the Proportional Counter Array on the RXTE satellite, for a total exposure time of 301 ks, and detect the first unambiguous thermonuclear bursts from this source. This...
متن کاملA Unified Description of the Timing Features of Accreting X-ray Binaries
We study an empirical model for a unified description of the power spectra of accreting neutron stars and black holes. This description is based on a superposition of multiple Lorentzians and offers the advantage that all QPO and noise components are dealt with in the same way, without the need of deciding in advance the nature of each component. This approach also allows us to compare frequenc...
