In this work present the broad-band noise structure in the 2-60 keV data of Cataclysmic Variables (CVs) with Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs). We analyzed Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) PCA data and derived time series from 27 CVs, 4 AXPs and 1 SGR using the RXTE archive. In general, CVs of different types all show broad band noise which can be fitted with power laws, using exponentional cut-offs, and Lorentzians in a similar way to power spectral (noise) characteristics of X-ray Binaries (XRBs). In general terms the power spectra show a power law index of (-)1.2-2. A rather large scale flattening of the power spectra exits in nonmagnetic systems in the low to very low frequency range. We observe that in low and high states/outbursts the noise in the high frequency range and low frequency range is changed. CVs show considerably low frequency noise. In addition, we recovered several possible QPOs in the X-ray wavelengths from CVs mainly from Intermediate Polar systems. AXP and SGR sources which are thought to be powered by either magnetic decay or accretion show band limited noise in their low frequencies. We also correlated their equal time interval noise characteristic with their burst states and discovered that in the two AXPs (1E 2259+586, 1E 1048.1-5937) noise correlates with their bursts.

The broad-band noise characteristics of selected AXPs and SGRs: Probing the magnetar coronae
Kulebi, Baybars; Balman, Şölen (2007-08-17)
We present the broad-band noise structure of Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs) and Soft Gamma Repeaters (SGRs) in the 2-60 keV energy band which are thought to be powered by either magnetic decay(Thompson & Duncan 1995) or accretion (Alpar 2001). We have used Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (R-XTE) PCA archival light curves and derived time series for 4 AXPs and 1 SGR. We detect that AXP and SGR sources show band limited noise at low frequencies in the range 0.005-0.05 Hz. We find that this noise level can be asso...
On period and burst histories of AXPs and SGRs and the possible evolution of these objects on the P-P diagram
Guseinov, OH; Yazgan, EFE; Ankay, A; Tagieva, S (World Scientific Pub Co Pte Lt, 2003-01-01)
In this paper, timing data for anomalous X-ray pulsars and soft gamma repeaters are compiled. Timing properties of these objects are investigated. The effect of bursts of soft gamma repeaters on their period history is investigated. The P-P diagram for pulsars, X-ray binaries, anomalous X-ray pulsars, soft gamma repeaters and dim radio quiet neutron stars is constructed. The possible evolutionary tracks for anomalous X-ray pulsars, soft gamma repeaters and dim radio quiet neutron stars are examined.
Differential Sensitivity Analysis for the Orthorectification of Small Satellite Images
Bettemir, Oe. H. (2009-06-13)
By using differential sensitivity analysis, horizontal and vertical accuracy of orthorectification of monoscopic images taken by small satellites without using Ground Control Points (GCP) is predicted. The analysis is performed by differentiating the colinearity equation of orthorectification procedure with respect to the satellite's interior and exterior parameters, and elevation obtained from digital elevation model (DEM). Square of the differential equations with respect to parameters are multiplied with...
The torque and X-ray flux changes of OAO 1657-415
Baykal, Altan (1997-03-01)
Combining previously published pulse frequencies and BATSE measurements, we estimate the noise strengths (or power density estimates) of angular accelerations by using the root mean square residuals of angular velocity time series of OAO 1657-415 and present the power spectra. The statistical interpretation of the angular velocity fluctuations is consistent with a random walk model. In order to investigate the short term angular velocity fluctuations in detail, a structure function analysis is applied for a...
Investigation of quasi-periodic noise features in x-persei
Acuner, Zeynep; Baykal, Altan; Department of Physics (2014)
In this thesis, timing and spectral properties of the Be type X-ray binary XPersei based on Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) have been presented. Results of the power spectral analysis of RTXE data show QPO features detected between ⇠ 0.1-0.4 Hz which are reported for the first time. Another significant property of X-Per’s power spectra is the time dependent excess that can be observed between 0.01-0.08 Hz throughout the observations. These power excesses are interpreted as an inherent feature of source’s...
