Pulse frequency variations and timing noise of MXB 0656-072 during the 2007-2008 type I outbursts and implications for its magnetic field
Serim, M. M.; Serim, D.; Dönmez, Çağatay Kerem; Tuo, Y.; Ducci, L.; Baykal, Altan; Santangelo, A. (2024-10-01)
Aims. We aim to explore the properties of the Be/X-ray binary system MXB 0656–072 from a timing analysis perspective through an investigation of the RXTE/PCA and Fermi/GBM data during its 2007–2008 type I outbursts.Met...

Pulse frequency fluctuations of persistent accretion powered pulsars
Serim, D.; Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Baykal, Altan (2022-11-01)
In this study, we examine the long-term torque noise fluctuations of persistent X-ray binaries Her X-1, Vela X-1, GX 301-2, Cen X-3, 4U 1538-53, OAO 1657-415, and 4U 1626-67 using the historical pulse frequency measurement...
Timing and spectral analysis of 2S 1417-624 during its 2018 outburst
Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Ozudogru, O. C.; Donmez, C. K.; Sahiner, S.; Serim, D.; Baykal, Altan; Inam, S. C. (2022-02-01)
We investigate timing and spectral characteristics of the transient X-ray pulsar 2S 1417-624 during its 2018 outburst with NICER follow up observations. We describe the spectra with high-energy cut-off and partial covering...
Comprehensive analysis of the transient X-ray pulsar MAXI J1409 619
Donmez, C. K.; Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Inam, S. C.; Sahiner, S.; Serim, D.; Baykal, Altan (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2020-08-01)
We probe the properties of the transient X-ray pulsar MAXI J1409-619 through RXTE and Swift follow-up observations of the outburst in 2010. We are able to phase-connect the pulse arrival times for the 25 d episode during t...
Pulse frequency fluctuations of magnetars
Cerri-Serim, D.; Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Sahiner, S.; Inam, S. C.; Baykal, Altan (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2019-05-01)
Using RXTE, Chandra, XMM-Newton and Swift observations, we construct the power spectra and torque noise strengths of magnetars for the first time. For some of the sources, on time-scales of months to years, we measure stro...
Accretion in strong field gravity with eXTP
De Rosa, Alessandra; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-02-01)
In this paper we describe the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to accretion flows in the strong field gravity regime around both stellar-mass and supermassive black-...
Observatory science with eXTP
in't Zand, Jean J. M.; et. al. (2019-02-01)
In this White Paper we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for studies related to Observatory Science targets. These include flaring stars, supernova remnants, accreting white ...
Dense matter with eXTP
Watts, Anna L.; et. al. (2019-02-01)
In this White Paper we present the potential of the Enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission for determining the nature of dense matter; neutron star cores host an extreme density regime which cannot be replica...
Discovery of a glitch in the accretion- powered pulsar SXP 1062
Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Sahiner, S.; Cerri-Serim, D.; İNAM, SITKI ÇAĞDAŞ; Baykal, Altan (2017-11-01)
We present timing analysis of the accretion-powered pulsar SXP 1062, based on the observations of Swift, XMM-Newton and Chandra satellites covering a time span of about 2 yr. We obtain a phase coherent timing solution that...
