THE 2003 OUTBURST OF THE X-RAY TRANSIENT H1743−322: COMPARISONS WITH THE BLACK HOLE MICROQUASAR XTE J1550−564 [PDF]
, 2007 The bright X-ray transient H1743−322 was observed daily by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer during most of its eight-month outburst in 2003. We present a detailed spectral analysis and a supporting timing analysis of all of these data, and we discuss the ...

X-ray bursts from the galactic X-ray transient source GRS 1915+105 [PDF]
Advances in Space Research, 2001 We have analyzed publicly available RXTE/PCAs archival data of GRS 1915+105 during its burst/flaring state. The burst cycle ranges from 30 to 1300 s. These bursts are different from the type I and type II classical bursts seen in Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) in terms of their temporal and spectral properties.

IGR J17544-2619: a new supergiant fast X-ray transient revealed by optical/infrared observations [PDF]
, 2006 One of the most recent discoveries of the INTEGRAL observatory is the existence of a previously unknown population of X-ray sources in the inner arms of the Galaxy. IGR J17544-2619, IGR J16465-4507 and XTE J1739-302 are among these sources.

THE SPIN OF THE BLACK HOLE IN THE SOFT X-RAY TRANSIENT A0620–00 [PDF]
, 2010 During its year-long outburst in 1975–76, the transient source A0620–00 reached an intensity of 50 Crab, an all-time record for any X-ray binary. The source has been quiescent since then. We have recently determined accurate values for the black hole (BH)

Recent Transient X-Ray Sources [PDF]
Highlights of Astronomy, 1977 Prior to the launch of the Ariel V satellite in 1974, four transient X-ray sources had been observed. We placed the study of sources of this type amongst the major objectives of the satellite, and so ensured that the spacecraft ground centre was capable of quick reaction, and that experimenters had rapid access to their data, so that new transients ...

The faint neutron star soft X-ray transient SAX J1810.8-2609 in quiescence [PDF]
, 2003 We present the analysis of a 35-ksec-long Chandra observation of the neutron star soft X-ray transient (SXT) SAX J1810.8-2609. We detect three sources in the field of view.

Discovery of strongly variable X-ray polarization in the neutron star low-mass X-ray binary transient XTE J1701−462 [PDF]
Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2023 After about 16 years since its first outburst, the transient neutron star low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1701$-$462 turned on again in September 2022, allowing for the first study of its X-ray polarimetric characteristics by a dedicated observing program ...
