In this thesis, the detailed X-ray timing characteristics of four Anomalous X-Ray Pulsars (AXPs); 4U 0142+61, 1E 2259+586, 1RXS J170849.0 -400910, and 1E 1841- 045 are presented for glitch free time intervals using data taken by Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The pulse arrival times of these AXPs are evaluated by phase coherent timing method. After the removal of the spin-down trend from pulse arrivals, remaining residuals are used for estimation of their noise strengths. Possible correlation of the noise strength with spin-down rate is investigated for individual sources in di erent time intervals, for AXP class and for whole magnetars. Our initial results indicate that noise strength of these objects are scaling up with their spin down rates for AXPs and magnetars

X-ray analysis of high mass x-ray binary pulsars
Şahiner, Şeyda; Baykal, Altan; İnam, Sıtkı Çağdaş; Department of Physics (2015)
In this thesis, X-ray properties of three high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) pulsars are analysed, using the data of X-ray satellites such as RXTE, INTEGRAL and Swift. Selected sources belong to different subgroups of the HMXB family. The first system, 4U 1907+09 is a classical wind-fed supergiant system with persistent X-ray emission; although it shows irregular flares and dips. SWIFT J1729.9-3437 and SWIFT J0513.4-6547 are newly discovered transient systems. Although the counterpart of SWIFT J1729.9-3437 could...
X-ray observations of accretion powered pulsars
İnam, Sıtkı Çağdaş; Baykal, Altan; Department of Physics (2004)
In this thesis, X-ray observations of four accretion powered pulsars are presented. Using RXTE observations of 4U 1907+09, we found three new pulse periods of the source. We found that the source spun-down almost at a constant rate of Þ
X-RAY SPECTRAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF A ULX IN NGC 4258 (M106)
Avdan, H.; Avdan, S.; AKYÜZ, AYSUN; Balman, Şölen; AKSAKER, NAZIM; AKKAYA ORALHAN, Inci (American Astronomical Society, 2016-09-10)
We study the X-ray and optical properties of the ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX) X-6 in the nearby galaxy NGC 4258 (M106) based on the archival XMM-Newton, Chandra, Swift, and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations. The source has a peak luminosity of L-X similar to 2 x 10(39) erg s(-1) in the XMM-Newton observation of 2004 June. Consideration of the hardness ratios and the spectral model parameters shows that the source seems to exhibit possible spectral variations throughout the X-ray observations. In...
X-ray flux and pulse frequency changes of three high mass X-ray binary pulsars: Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and OAO 1657-415
Inam, SC; Baykal, Altan (2000-01-01)
Using archival BATSE (Burst and Transient Source Experiment) 20-50 keV band X-ray flux and pulse frequency time series, we look for correlations between torque, luminosity and specific angular momentum for three high mass X-ray binary pulsars Vela X-1, GX 301-2 and OAO 1657-415. Our results show that there is no correlation between pulse frequency derivative and flux which may be an indication of the absence of stable prograde accretion disk. From the strong correlation of specific angular momentum and torq...
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A2034 CLUSTERS OF GALAXIES
Bozkurt, M.; Hudaverdi, M.; ERCAN, ENİSE NİHAL (2008-10-05)
We present the analysis of X-ray and optical observations of Abell 2034. It is located at the moderate redshift of z=0.113. X-ray data are taken from the XMM-Newton archive. The best-fit single temperature of 7.6 keV model well defines the diffuse hot plasma. The cluster is observed by ground based optical Turkish National Observatory RTT-150 telescope. X-ray spectra of the individual sources from the cluster outskirts are studied. The intra cluster medium (ICM) temperature and metal distributions are const...
