Spectral variability of the X-ray pulsar Hercules X-1     

A. A. Lutovinov  S. A. Grebenev  M. N. Pavlinsky  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2000,26(11):691-698

We present the results of our comparative timing and spectral analysis of the high and low (off) states in the X-ray pulsar Her X-1 based on data from the ART-P telescope onboard the Granat observatory. A statistically significant (several mCrab) persistent flux with a simple power-law spectrum was detected during the low state. The spectral slope changed from observation to observation by almost a factor of 2. Pulsations were detected only during the high state of the source, when its flux was a factor of ～25 larger than the low-state flux. The spectral shape of Her X-1 in its high state was complex, with the parameters depending on pulse phase.  相似文献   

Investigation of the transient X-ray burster IGR J17380-3749 discovered by the INTEGRAL observatory     

I. V. Chelovekov  S. A. Grebenev 《Astronomy Letters》2010,36(12):895-903

Details of the discovery (in February 2004) and results of subsequent (in 2004–2009) INTEGRAL observations of the transient X-ray burster IGR J17380-3749 (IGR J17379-3747) are presented. Over the period of its observations, the INTEGRAL observatory recorded two hard X-ray flares and one type I X-ray burst from the source, which allowed the nature of IGR J17380-3749 to be determined. The burster radiation spectrum during the flares was hard—a power law with a photon index α = 1.8–2.0 or bremsstrahlung corresponding to a plasma with a temperature kT = 90–140 keV. The spectral shape at the flare peaks turned out to be the same, despite a more than twofold difference in flux (the peak flux recorded in the energy range 18–100 keV reached ∼20 mCrab). The upper limit on the flux from the source in its quiescent (off) state in the range of 18–40 keV was 0.15 mCrab (3σ).  相似文献   

The first observation of AX J1749.1-2733 in a bright X-ray state—Another fast transient revealed by INTEGRAL     

S. A. Grebenev  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(3):149-158

An intense outburst of hard radiation (with a peak flux of ～50 mCrab) was detected from the X-ray transient AX J1749.1-2733 by the IBIS/ISGRI gamma-ray telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory when the Galactic center field was monitored on September 8–10, 2003. Previously, this source had never been observed in a bright X-ray state. During the outburst, the source’s radiation spectrum was gently sloping and hard (extended to ～100 keV), followed a power law in the standard X-ray energy range, and had an exponential cutoff above 40–50 keV. The spectral hardness decreased with increasing flux. These and other properties described here and the shortness of the outburst (<2 days) allow the source to be attributed to the group of fast X-ray transients many representatives of which have an early O-B supergiant as their optical counterpart. Possible causes of the outbursts of fast transients are discussed. We show that accretion from the supergiant’s stellar wind should have led to intense persistent radiation from transients. The absence of radiation can be explained by the ejection of accreting matter from the system (propeller effect) during its contact with the magnetosphere of a rapidly rotating neutron star. Transient outbursts could originate in sources of this type if the spin period of their neutron star P _s differed only slightly from the critical period P _s ^* ? 3 s at which the propeller effect is still possible. The outburst is triggered by an insignificant rise in the local stellar wind density, by a factor of (P _s ^* /P _s)^7/3. The entire outburst profile cannot be explained by an individual inhomogeneity in the wind, but is the reflection of a long-term (～2 days for AX J1749.1-2733) change in the rate of wind outflow from the supergiant’s surface facing the compact source. The rate of wind outflow could be enhanced through X-ray heating of the supergiant’s surface.  相似文献   

Two years of observations of the X-ray pulsar SMC X-1 with the ART-P telescope onboard the Granat observatory     

A. A. Lutovinov  S. S. Tsygankov  S. A. Grebenev  M. N. Pavlinsky  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2004,30(1):50-57

We present the observations of the pulsar SMC X-1 with the ART-P telescope onboard the Granat observatory. We investigate the variability of the flux from the source on time scales of several tens of days. The intensity variation of the pulsar are shown to be consistent with the presence of a periodicity in the system with a characteristic time scale of ～61 days. The precession of an inclined accretion disk, as indirectly confirmed by the absence of low-state pulsations, may be responsible for the observed variability. The spectrum of the source is well described by a power-law energy dependence of the photon flux density with a slope of ～1.5 and an exponential cutoff at energies above ～14–18 keV. We estimated the inclinations between the planes of the orbit and the accretion disk and the magnetic field of the neutron star.  相似文献   

The outburst of the X-ray nova GRS 1739-278 in September 2016     

I. A. Mereminskiy  E. V. Filippova  R. A. Krivonos  S. A. Grebenev  R. A. Burenin  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2017,43(3):167-174

During the scanning observations of the Galactic center region in late August–September 2016 we detected a new (third) outburst of the historical X-ray nova GRS 1739-278, a presumed black hole in a low-mass X-ray binary. This was reported in the Astronomer’s Telegrams (Mereminskiy et al. 2016). In this paper we present the results of INTEGRAL and Swift observations of the outburst development. According to these observations, the flux from the source in the hard X-ray band (20–60 keV) rose from ~11 (September 3) to ~30 mCrab (September 14), was at the attained level for ~8 days, and then returned to ~15 mCrab. The spectrum of the source taken at its peak brightness in the energy range 0.5–150 keV could be fitted by a single power law with a photon index of 1.86 ± 0.07 distorted only by photoabsorption corresponding to the hydrogen column density log₁₀ (N _H) = 22.37 under the assumption of a solar abundance. This means that the source at this time was in the low/hard state. Infrared observations with the RTT-150 telescope near the X-ray brightness peak of the source revealed no emission down to \(22_ \cdot ^m 0\) (in the r’ band) and \(20_ \cdot ^m 9\) (in the i’ band). At the time of writing the paper we do not yet know whether this outburst ended or only its initial stage was observed. If it ended, then based on the light curve and spectra, we can state that it was a “failed” outburst, i.e., the amount of accreted matter in this episode was insufficient to reach the high or very high state with a soft blackbody component in the spectrum characteristic of developed outbursts.  相似文献   

Peculiarities of Super-Eddington Flares from the X-ray Pulsar LMC X-4 Based on NuSTAR Data     

A. E. Shtykovsky  V. A. Arefiev  A. A. Lutovinov  S. V. Molkov 《Astronomy Letters》2018,44(3):149-161

We present the results of our analysis of super-Eddington flares recorded fromthe X-ray pulsar LMCX-4 by theNuSTAR observatory in the energy range 3–79 keV. The pulsar spectrumis well described by the thermal Comptonization model (COMPTT) both in quiescence and during flares, when the peak luminosity reaches L_x ~ (2?4) × 10³⁹ erg s^?1. An important feature that has been investigated for the first time in this paper is that an increase in luminosity during flares by more than an order of magnitude is observed at energies below 25–30 keV, while at higher energies (30–70 keV) the spectrum shape and the source flux remain virtually unchanged. The increase in luminosity is accompanied by changes in the source pulse profile—in the energy range 3–40 keV it becomes approximately triangular and the pulsed fraction increaseswith rising energy, reaching 60–70%in the energy range 25–40 keV.We discuss possible changes in the geometry of the accretion column consistent with similar changes in the spectra and pulse profiles.  相似文献   

On timing and spectral characteristics of the X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63: Evolution of the pulsation period and the cyclotron line energy     

P. A. Boldin  S. S. Tsygankov  A. A. Lutovinov 《Astronomy Letters》2013,39(6):375-388

An overview of the results of observations for the transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63, amember of a binary system with a Be star, since its discovery to the present day (～40 years) based on data from more than dozen observatories and instruments is presented. An overall light curve and the history of change in the spin frequency of the neutron star over the entire history of its observations, which also includes the results of recent measurements made by the INTEGRAL observatory during the 2004, 2008, and 2011 outbursts, are provided. The source’s energy spectra have also been constructed from the INTEGRAL data obtained during the 2011 outburst for a dynamic range of its luminosities 10³⁷?7 × 10³⁷ erg s^?1. We show that apart from the fundamental harmonic of the cyclotron absorption line at energy～11 keV, its four higher harmonics at energies ?24, 35.6, 48.8, and 60.7 keV are detected in the spectrum. We have performed a detailed analysis of the source’s spectra in the 4–28 keV energy band based on all of the available RXTE archival data obtained during bright outbursts in 1995–2011. We have confirmed that modifying the source’s continuum model can lead to the disappearance of the observed anticorrelation between the energy of the fundamental harmonic of the cyclotron absorption line and the source’s luminosity. Thus, the question about the evolution of the cyclotron absorption line energy with the luminosity of the X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63 remains open and a physically justified radiation model for X-ray pulsars is needed to answer it.  相似文献   

Localization of the solar flare SF900610 in X-rays with the WATCH instrument of the GRANAT observatory     

O. V. Terekhov  A. G. Kuzmin  A. V. Shevchenko  S. Yu. Sazonov  R. A. Sunyaev  N. Lund 《Astronomy Letters》2002,28(12):853-856

During the solar flare of June 10, 1990, the WATCH instrument of the GRANAT space observatory obtained 110 localizations of the X-ray source in the X-ray range 8–20 keV. Its coordinates were measured with an accuracy of ～2 arcmin at a 3σ confidence level. The coordinates of the X-ray source do not coincide with the coordinates of the Hα-line flare. The X-ray source moved over the solar disk during the flare. This probably implies that, as the X-ray emission was generated, different parts of one loop or a system of magnetic loops dominated at different flare times.  相似文献   

The first results of observations of the transient pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545 by the INTEGRAL observatory     

A. A. Lutovinov  S. V. Molkov  M. G. Revnivtsev 《Astronomy Letters》2003,29(11):713-718

We present the preliminary results of our analysis of the observations of the X-ray pulsar SAX J2103.5+4545 by the INTEGRAL Observatory in December 2002. We mapped this region of the sky in a wide energy range, from 3 to 200 keV. The detection of the source is shown to be significant up to energies of ～100 keV. The hard X-ray flux in the energy range 15–100 keV is variable and presumably depends on the orbital phase. We show that the shape of the pulsar spectrum and its parameters derived from 18–150-keV IBIS data are compatible with the RXTE observations of the source.  相似文献   

Dynamics and energetics of the thermal and nonthermal components in the solar flare of January 20, 2005, based on data from hard electromagnetic radiation detectors onboard the CORONAS-F satellite     

V. G. Kurt  S. I. Svertilov  B. Yu. Yushkov  A. V. Bogomolov  V. V. Grechnev  V. I. Galkin  V. V. Bogomolov  K. Kudela  Yu. I. Logachev  O. V. Morozov  I. N. Myagkova 《Astronomy Letters》2010,36(4):280-291

Based on data from the SONG and SPR-N multichannel hard electromagnetic radiation detectors onboard the CORONAS-F space observatory and the X-ray monitors onboard GOES satellites, we have distinguished the thermal and nonthermal components in the X-ray spectrum of an extreme solar flare on January 20, 2005. In the impulsive flare phase determined from the time of the most efficient electron and proton acceleration, we have obtained parameters of the spectra for both components and their variations in the time interval 06:43–06:54 UT. The spectral index in the energy range 0.2–2 MeV for a single-power-law spectrum of accelerated electrons is shown to have been close to 3.4 for most of the time interval under consideration. We have determined the time dependence of the lower energy cutoff in the energy spectrum of nonthermal photons E _γ0(t) at which the spectral flux densities of the thermal and nonthermal components become equal. The power deposited by accelerated electrons into the flare volume has been estimated using the thick-target model under two assumptions about the boundary energy E ₀ of the electron spectrum: (i) E ₀ is determined by E _γ0(t) and (ii) E ₀ is determined by the characteristic heated plasma energy (≈5kT (t)). The reality of the first assumption is proven by the fact that plasma cooling sets in at a time when the radiative losses begin to prevail over the power deposited by electrons only in this case. Comparison of the total energy deposited by electrons with a boundary energy E _γ0(t) with the thermal energy of the emitting plasma in the time interval under consideration has shown that the total energy deposited by accelerated electrons at the beginning of the impulsive flare phase before 06:47 UT exceeds the thermal plasma energy by a factor of 1.5–2; subsequently, these energies become approximately equal and are ～(4–5) × 10³⁰ erg under the assumption that the filling factor is 0.5–0.6.  相似文献   

A nova outburst scenario for GX 1+4 spin-down episode     

R. K. Manchanda 《Astrophysics and Space Science》1988,150(1):31-41

X-ray spectral data of the source during 1982–1987 suggest that the observed low state of the source intensity could have arisen due to additional absorption of the X-ray flux by material surrounding the X-ray source, which could have come from the companion star during a nova outburst. The accretion models can not explain the rapid spin-down of the pulsar. If the spin-down is caused by the nova outburst, it is suggested that period slow down can occur due to mechanical braking of the pulsar generated by the increased moment of inertia.  相似文献   

Radio and X-ray observations of an exceptional radio flare in the extreme z= 4.72 blazar GB B1428+4217     

M. A. Worsley  A. C. Fabian  G. G. Pooley  C. J. Chandler 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2006,368(2):844-850

We report on the extreme behaviour of the high-redshift blazar GB B1428+4217 at   z = 4.72  . A continued programme of radio measurements has revealed an exceptional flare in the light curve, with the 15.2-GHz flux density rising by a factor of ∼3 from ∼140 to ∼430  mJy in a rest-frame time-scale of only ∼4 months – much larger than any previous flares observed in this source. In addition to new measurements of the 1.4–43  GHz radio spectrum, we also present the analysis and results of a target-of-opportunity X-ray observation using XMM–Newton , made close to the peak in radio flux. Although the X-ray data do not show a flare in the high-energy light curve, we are able to confirm the X-ray spectral variability hinted at in previous observations. GB B1428+4217 is one of several high-redshift radio-loud quasars that display a low-energy break in the X-ray spectrum, probably due to the presence of excess absorption in the source. X-ray spectral analysis of the latest XMM–Newton data is shown to be consistent with the warm-absorption scenario which we have hypothesized previously. Warm absorption is also consistent with the observed X-ray spectral variability of the source, in which the spectral changes can be successfully accounted-for with a fixed column density of material in which the ionization state is correlated with hardness of the underlying power-law emission.  相似文献   

4U 0115+63 from RXTE and INTEGRAL data: Pulse profile and cyclotron line energy     

S. S. Tsygankov  A. A. Lutovinov  E. M. Churazov  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2007,33(6):368-384

We analyze the observations of the transient X-ray pulsar 4U 0115+63 with the RXTE and INTEGRAL observatories in a wide X-ray (3–100 keV) energy band during its intense outbursts in 1999 and 2004. The energy of the fundamental harmonic of the cyclotron resonance absorption line near the maximum of the X-ray flux from the source (luminosity range 5 × 10³⁷–2 × 10³⁸ erg s^?1) is ～11 keV. When the pulsar luminosity falls below ～5 × 10³⁷ erg s^?1, the energy of the fundamental harmonic is displaced sharply toward the high energies, up to ～16 keV. Under the assumption of a dipole magnetic field configuration, this change in cyclotron harmonic energy corresponds to a decrease in the height of the emitting region by ～2 km, while other spectral parameters, in particular, the cutoff energy, remain essentially constant. At a luminosity ～7 × 10³⁷ erg s^?1, four almost equidistant cyclotron line harmonics are recorded in the spectrum. This suggests that either the region where the emission originates is compact or the emergent spectrum from different (in height) segments of the accretion column is uniform. We have found significant pulse profile variations with energy, luminosity, and time. In particular, we show that the profile variations from pulse to pulse are not reduced to a simple modulation of the accretion rate specified by external conditions.  相似文献   

X-ray and microwave emissions from the July 19, 2012 solar flare: Highly accurate observations and kinetic models     

P. A. Gritsyk  B. V. Somov 《Astronomy Letters》2016,42(8):531-543

The M7.7 solar flare of July 19, 2012, at 05:58 UT was observed with high spatial, temporal, and spectral resolutions in the hard X-ray and optical ranges. The flare occurred at the solar limb, which allowed us to see the relative positions of the coronal and chromospheric X-ray sources and to determine their spectra. To explain the observations of the coronal source and the chromospheric one unocculted by the solar limb, we apply an accurate analytical model for the kinetic behavior of accelerated electrons in a flare. We interpret the chromospheric hard X-ray source in the thick-target approximation with a reverse current and the coronal one in the thin-target approximation. Our estimates of the slopes of the hard X-ray spectra for both sources are consistent with the observations. However, the calculated intensity of the coronal source is lower than the observed one by several times. Allowance for the acceleration of fast electrons in a collapsing magnetic trap has enabled us to remove this contradiction. As a result of our modeling, we have estimated the flux density of the energy transferred by electrons with energies above 15 keV to be ～5 × 10¹⁰ erg cm^?2 s^?1, which exceeds the values typical of the thick-target model without a reverse current by a factor of ～5. To independently test the model, we have calculated the microwave spectrum in the range 1–50 GHz that corresponds to the available radio observations.  相似文献   

Observations of the X-ray pulsar GX 301-2 with the ART-P telescope of the GRANAT Observatory     

S. S. Tsygankov  A. A. Lutovinov  S. A. Grebenev  M. R. Gilfanov  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2004,30(8):540-548

The variability of the X-ray flux from the pulsar GX 301-2 is analyzed by using data from the ART-P telescope of the GRANAT Observatory. The intensity variations with time scales of several thousand seconds are studied at various orbital phases. The high-state flux from the source exceeds its low-state flux by as much as a factor of 10. The hardness and spectrum of the source are shown to change greatly with its intensity. These intensity variations are most likely caused by substantial inhomogeneities in the stellar wind from the companion star.  相似文献   

Long term spectral variability in the soft gamma-ray repeater SGR 1900+14     

Andrea Tiengo  Paolo Esposito  Sandro Mereghetti  Lara Sidoli  Diego Götz  Marco Feroci  Roberto Turolla  Silvia Zane  Gian Luca Israel  Luigi Stella  Peter Woods 《Astrophysics and Space Science》2007,308(1-4):33-37

We present a systematic analysis of all the BeppoSAX data of SGR1900+14. The observations spanning five years show that the source was brighter than usual on two occasions: ～20 days after the August 1998 giant flare and during the 10⁵?s long X-ray afterglow following the April 2001 intermediate flare. In the latter case, we explore the possibility of describing the observed short term spectral evolution only with a change of the temperature of the blackbody component. In the only BeppoSAX observation performed before the giant flare, the spectrum of the SGR1900+14 persistent emission was significantly harder and detected also above 10 keV with the PDS instrument. In the last BeppoSAX observation (April 2002) the flux was at least a factor 1.2 below the historical level, suggesting that the source was entering a quiescent period.  相似文献   

A synchrotron self-Compton scenario for the very high energyγ-ray emission of the intermediate BL Lacertae object W Comae     

Jin Zhang 《中国天文和天体物理学报》2009,9(7)

W Comae has significant variability in multi-wavelengthes, from radio to gamma-ray bands. A bright outburst in optical and X-ray bands was observed in 1998, and most recently, a strong TeV flare was detected by VERITAS in 2008. It is the first TeV intermediate-frequency-peaked BL Lacertae source. I find that both the broadband spectral energy distributions (SEDs) which were quasi-simultaneously obtained during the TeV flare and during the optical/X-ray outburst are well fit by using a single-zone synchrotron + synchrotron-self-Compton model. The satisfactory fitting requires a large beaming factor, i.e., δ～25 and δ～20 for the TeV flare and the optical/X-ray outburst, respectively, suggesting that both the optical/X-ray outburst and the TeV flare are from a relativistic jet. The size of the emission region of the TeV flare is three times larger than that of the optical/X-ray outburst, and the strength of the magnetic field for the TeV flare is～14 times smaller than that of the X-ray/optical outburst, likely indicating that the region of the TeV flare is more distant from the core than that of the X-ray/optical outburst. The inverse Compton component of the TeV flare peaks around 1.3 GeV, but it is around 0 MeV for the X-ray/optical outburst, lower than that for the TeV flare by two orders of magnitude. The model predicts that the optical/X-ray outburst might be accompanied by a strong MeV/GeV emission, but the TeV flare may be not associated with the X-ray/optical outburst. The GeV emission is critical for characterizing the SEDs of the optical/X-ray outburst and the TeV flare. The predicted GeV flux is above the sensitivity of Fermi/LAT, and it could be verified with the observations by Fermi/LAT in the near future.  相似文献   

Reverse-current effect in present-day models of solar flares: Theory and high-accuracy observations     

P. A. Gritsyk  B. V. Somov 《Astronomy Letters》2014,40(8):499-509

We propose an accurate analytical model for the source of hard X-ray emission from a flare in the form of a “thick target” with a reverse current to explain the results of present-day observations of solar flares onboard the GOES, Hinode, RHESSI, and TRACE satellites. The model, one-dimensional in coordinate space and two-dimensional in velocity space, self-consistently takes into account the fact that the beam electrons lose the kinetic energy of their motion along the magnetic field almost without any collisions under the action of the reverse-current electric field. Some of the electrons return from the emission source to the acceleration region without losing the kinetic energy of their transverse motion. Based on the observed hard X-ray bremsstrahlung spectrum, the model allows the injection spectrum of accelerated electrons to be reconstructed with a high accuracy. As an example, we consider the white-light flare of December 6, 2006, which was observed with a high spatial resolution in the optical wavelength range at the main maximum of hard X-ray emission. Within the framework of our model, we show that to explain the hard X-ray spectrum, the flux density of the energy transferred by electrons with energies above 18 keV was ～3 × 10¹³ erg cm^?2 s^?1. This exceeds the habitual values typical of the classical model of a thick target without a reverse current by two orders of magnitude. The electron density in the beam is also very high: ～10¹¹ cm^?3. A more careful consideration of plasma processes in such dense electron beams is needed when the physical parameters of a flare are calculated.  相似文献   

Spectral variation in the X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 during a low-flux episode     

D. K. Galloway  A. B. Giles  J. G. Greenhill  M. C. Storey 《Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society》2000,311(4):755-761

The X-ray pulsar GX 1+4 was observed with the RXTE satellite for a total of 51 ks between 1996 July 19 and 21. During this period the flux decreased smoothly from an initial mean level of ≈6×10³⁶ erg s⁻¹ to a minimum of ≈4×10³⁵ erg s⁻¹ (2–60 keV, assuming a source distance of 10 kpc) before partially recovering towards the initial level at the end of the observation.
BATSE pulse timing measurements indicate that a torque reversal took place approximately 10 d after this observation. Both the mean pulse profile and the photon spectrum varied significantly. The observed variation in the source may provide important clues as to the mechanism of torque reversals.
The single best-fitting spectral model was based on a component originating from thermal photons with kT ₀≈1 keV Comptonized by a plasma of temperature kT ≈7 keV. Both the flux modulation with phase during the brightest interval and the evolution of the mean spectra over the course of the observation are consistent with variations in this model component; with, in addition, a doubling of the column density n _H contributing to the mean spectral change.
A strong flare of duration ≲50 s was observed during the interval of minimum flux, with the peak flux ≈20 times the mean level. Although beaming effects are likely to mask the true variation in M ˙ thought to give rise to the flare, the timing of a modest increase in flux prior to the flare is consistent with dual episodes of accretion resulting from successive orbits of a locally dense patch of matter in the accretion disc.  相似文献   

Hard X-ray bursts detected by the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory in 2003–2004     

I. V. Chelovekov  S. A. Grebenev  R. A. Sunyaev 《Astronomy Letters》2006,32(7):456-477

All of the observations performed with the IBIS telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory during the first one and a half years of its in-orbit operation (from February 10, 2003, through July 2, 2004) have been analyzed to find X-ray bursts. The time history of the IBIS/ISGRI total count rate in the energy range 15–25 keV revealed 1077 bursts of durations from ～5 to ～500 s with a high statistical significance (over the entire period of observations, only one event could be detected by chance with a probability of 20%). A part from the events associated with cosmic gamma-ray bursts (detected in the field of view or passed through the IBIS shield), solar flares, and activity of the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806-20, we were able to localize 105 bursts and, with one exception, to identify them with previously known persistent or transient X-ray sources (96 were identified with known X-ray bursters). In one case, the burst source was a new burster in a low state that received the name IGR J17364-2711. Basic parameters of the localized bursts and their identifications are presented in the catalog of bursts. Curiously enough, 61 bursts were detected from one X-ray burster, GX 354-0. The statistical distributions of bursts in duration, maximum flux, and recurrence time have been analyzed for this source. Some of the bursts observed with the IBIS/ISGRI telescope were also detected by the JEM-X telescope onboard the INTEGRAL observatory in the standard X-ray energy range 3–20 keV.  相似文献
