Observational constraints on the masses of neutron stars

PC Joss, SA Rappaport - Nature, 1976 - nature.com
Direct information on the masses of five neutron stars is available at present. The mass
estimates do not yet place any serious constraints on nuclear physics theory. However, if all …

Ten-day time resolution X-ray time histories are presented from the 1969-1976 period, for
the sources Cen X-3, GX 301-2, GX 304-1, and 4U 1145-61. Three of the four sources …

Quasi-periodic occultation by a precessing accretion disk and other variabilities of smc x-1

P Wojdowski, GW Clark, AM Levine… - The Astrophysical …, 1998 - iopscience.iop.org
We have investigated the variability of the binary X-ray pulsar SMC X-1 in data from several

X-ray binary systems in the Small Magellanic Cloud

P Kahabka, W Pietsch - arXiv preprint astro-ph/9706075, 1997 - arxiv.org
We present the result of a systematic search for spectrally hard and soft X-ray binary systems
in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). This search has been applied to ROSAT PSPC data …

SMC X-1 variability observed from HEAO 1

DE Gruber, RE Rothschild - … Journal, Part 1 (ISSN 0004-637X) …, 1984 - adsabs.harvard.edu
Studies are reported of the slow variability of SMC X-1 and its spectrum. An analysis of red-
noise random variability is based on a method discussed by Deeter and Boynton (1982) …

The spectroscopic orbit and masses of SK 160/SMC X-1

JB Hutchings, D Crampton, AP Cowley… - … Part 1, vol. 217, Oct. 1 …, 1977 - adsabs.harvard.edu
Thirty-one spectrographic observations have been obtained of SK 160, with dispersions
from 12 to 52 A/mm. Radial velocities from these lead to a spectroscopic orbit which implies …
