    X-ray observations of LMC X-3 with the monitor proportional counter aboard the HEAO 2 Einstein observatory - A comparison with Cygnus X-1 (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: A comparison is presented of the black hole candidates LMC X-3 and Cygnus X-1 based on Einstein observations of LMC X-3 with the monitor proportional counter. A spectral analysis shows LMC X-3 to be more like the typical bright galactic X-ray source than Cygnus X-1. A search for periodic pulsations over a period range from 0.2 ms to over 1000 s set upper limits at the 90 percent confidence level of the order of 10 percent. An analysis of the aperiodic variability of LMC X-3 shows none of the shot noise behavior characteristic of Cygnus X-1. The absence of distinctive X-ray properties common to both sources suggests that the identification of black hole candidates on the basis of X-ray properties similar to Cygnus X-1 (or LMC X-3) is not reliable.

    On searches for pulsed emission with application to four globular cluster X-ray sources - NGC 1851, 6441, 6624, and 6712 (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: Periodic pulsations have been sought in the NGC 1851, 6441, 6624, and 6712 globular cluster sources' X-ray emission, using the Einstein Observatory's Monitor Proportional Counter. Special attention is given to features of the present methods of analysis, which correctly account for several effects that have been routinely overlooked by other researchers. No pulsed emission was detected in the periods searched, which covered from 1 msec to about 500 sec. The 90% confidence upper limits for the pulsed fraction are given.

    X-ray observations of 4U 1626-67 by the monitor counter on the Einstein /HEAO 2/ observatory (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2011-08-18
    Description: The pulsing X-ray source 4U 1626-67 was observed with the Monitor Proportional Counter (MPC) on board the Einstein X-Ray Observatory on three occasions in early 1979. The MPC is a sealed, argon-filled proportional counter with a 1.5 mil beryllium window and is coaligned with the X-ray telescope on board the observatory. The spectral data spanning the energy range from 1.1 to 21 keV are divided into eight logarithmically spaced energy channels which integrate for 2.56 s. The Time Interval Processor (TIP) circuitry of the MPC measures time intervals between events to within 1 microsecond or 1.6%, whichever is larger, for a count rate dependent fraction of all events in all eight energy channels. It is found that in the energy range from 1 to 21 keV, the spectrum and 7.7 s pulse shape of 4U 1626-67 are variable on a time scale of minutes. The pulse shape variations correlate in a complex way with the intensity variations in this source.

    The soft X-ray spectrum of the Vela supernova remnant (1983)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An X-ray spectrum of a major fraction of the Vela supernova remnant has been obtained during scanning observations with the low energy proportional counters of the A-2 experiment, flown on HEAO 1. A deconvolution analysis of the data shows that the spectrum exhibits pronounced line emission near 0.6 keV due primarily to oxygen ions. Model fits using the Raymond-Smith hot plasma emission calculations indicate that the spectrum can be well described by a model involving two collisional equilibrium components with temperatures of 2.4 x 10 to the 6th and 1.9 x 10 to the 7th K, respectively. The abundances of oxygen and iron are found to be constrained to lie near their normal cosmic values.

    X-ray line emission from the Cygnus Loop (1980)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The HEAO 1 satellite has observed the X-ray spectrum of the Cygnus Loop in the 0.1-2.0 keV band. The observed count-rate spectrum is deconvolved by the Kahn and Blissett technique to demonstrate conclusively the presence of oxygen- and iron-line emission between 0.6 and 0.9 keV. The spectrum has been fitted with single- and two-component Raymond-Smith plasma emission models. The best-fit dominant X-ray temperature is approximately 3,200,000 K, and the best-fit interstellar column density is approximately a few times 10 to the 20th/sq cm.

    Interpretation of the number versus diameter distribution for supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: An examination is conducted of the cumulative number versus diameter relation for an X-ray selected sample of supernova remnants in the Large Magellanic Cloud in an attempt to understand the evolutionary state of these objects. Previous studies have suggested that the observed linear N(D) relation requires the remnants in the cloud to be freely expanding. Detailed calculations have been carried out to determine the effect of a luminosity threshold on the observed distribution and it is shown that the observations can be fitted by remnants which are in the adiabatic or later stages of evolution. The implications of the results for the supernova creation rate in the LMC are discussed.

    An X-ray study of the remnant of SN 185 A.D. (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: High-resolution X-ray maps obtained with the Einstein Observatory of the supernova remnant RCW 86 are presented. Analysis of the spatial and spectral properties of the remnant yield a total X-ray emitting mass of not greater than about 5 solar masses and a surrounding mean interstellar density of about 0.3/cu cm. A revision of the generally accepted distance of 2.5 kpc downward to not greater than about 1 kpc is strongly suggested by the data. The diameter (about 13 pc) and X-ray plasma temperature (about 1 keV) are consistent with the identification of the remnant with the supernova of 185 A.D. The observed apparent magnitude of SN 185 coupled with the new distance, the implied explosion energy and ejected mass derived from a Sedov analysis, and the lack of any compact remnant are all characteristic of a Type I event.

    Observations of quasi-coherent soft X-ray oscillations in U Geminorum and SS Cygni (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: During the HEAO 1 satellite's detection of soft X-ray pulsations from U Geminorum and SS Cygni, both of these dwarf novae were on the declining phase of an optical outburst. The pulsations are quasi-coherent in character, with average pulse amplitudes of 15 percent for U Gem and 18 percent for SS Cyg. From pulse phase X-ray spectroscopic data, an upper limit of 50 percent may be set on any variation in temperature across U Gem's pulse. Attention is given to all data on the X-ray and optical pulsations thus far detected in these two novae, and the observational constraints on the various current models for the pulsations are discussed.

    Photospheric soft X-ray emission from hot DA white dwarfs (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: The Einstein Observatory's imaging proportional counter has detected 150-eV soft X-ray radiation from the four hot DA white dwarfs EG 187, Gr 288 and 289, and LB 1663. The observed pulse height spectra suggest that the emission is generated by hot photospheres whose T(eff) lie in the 30,000-60,000 K range. The IUE spacecraft UV spectra and H-beta line profiles for the four stars have been fitted, along with the X-ray fluxes, with a grid of hot, high gravity, homogeneous model atmospheres of mixed H-He composition. In all cases, the data require the presence of some X-ray opacity in the photosphere. Attention is given to the implications of this result in the context of white dwarf surface layer diffusion theories. Also noted are the limits imposed on the hot white dwarf population by the Einstein Medium Sensitivity Survey.

    Short-term X-ray variability of the globular cluster source 4U 1820 - 30 (NGC 6624) (1984)
    In:  Other Sources
    Details
    Publication Date: 2019-06-28
    Description: Analytical techniques for improved identification of the temporal and spectral variability properties of globular cluster and galactic bulge X-ray sources are described in terms of their application to a large set of observations of the source 4U 1820 - 30 in the globular cluster NGC 6624. The autocorrelation function, cross-correlations, time skewness function, erratic periodicities, and pulse trains are examined. The results are discussed in terms of current models with particular emphasis on recent accretion disk models. It is concluded that the analyzed observations provide the first evidence for shot-noise variability in a globular cluster X-ray source.
