ROTSE-IIId observations of the Be/X-ray transient system KS 1947+300 obtained between September 2004 and December 2005 make it possible to study the correlation between optical and X-ray activity. The optical outburst of 0.1 mag was accompanied by an increase of the X-ray flux in the 2004 observations. A strong correlation between the optical and X-ray light curves suggests that the neutron star directly accretes from the outflowing material of the Be star. The nearly zero time lag between X-ray and optical light curves suggests a heating of the disk of Be star by X-rays. No optical brightening and X-ray enhancement was seen in the 2005 observations. There is no indication of an orbital modulation in the optical light curve. (c) 2007 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGA. Weinheim.

Frequency-resolved spectroscopy of XB1323-619 using XMM-Newton data: detection of a reflection region in the disc Balman, Şölen (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2010-09-21) We present the frequency-resolved energy spectra (FRS) of the low-mass X-ray binary dipper XB1323-619 during persistent emission in four different frequency bands using an archival XMM-Newton observation. FRS method helps to probe the inner zones of an accretion disc. XB1323-619 is an Atoll source and a type-I burster. We find that the FRS is well described by a single blackbody component with kT in a range 1.0-1.4 keV responsible for the source variability in the frequency ranges of 0.002-0.04 and 0.07-0.3...
X-ray outburst of 4U 0115+634 and ROTSE observations of its optical counterpart V635 Cas Baykal, Altan; Kiziloglu, N; Balman, S; Inam, SC (EDP Sciences, 2005-09-01) ROTSE IIId ( The Robotic Optical Transient Experiment) observations of the X-ray binary system 4U 0115+634/V635 Cas obtained during 2004 June and 2005 January make it possible, for the first time, to study the correlation between optical and type II X-ray outbursts. The X-ray outburst sharply enhanced after periastron passage where the optical brightness was reduced by 0.3 mag for a few days. We interpret the sharp reduction of optical brightness as a sign of mass ejection from the outer parts of the disc o...
RXTE and Swift Observations of SWIFT J0513.4-6547 Sahiner, S.; Serim, Muhammed Miraç; Baykal, Altan; İNAM, SITKI ÇAĞDAŞ (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2016-02-11) We present timing and spectral analysis of Swift-XRT (X-ray Telescope) and RXTE-PCA (Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer-proportional Counter Array) observations of the transient Be/X-ray pulsar SWIFT J0513.4-6547 during its outburst in 2009 and its rebrightening in 2014. From 2009 observations, short-term spin-up rate of the source after the peak of the outburst is found to have about half of the value measured at the peak of the outburst by Coe et al. When the source is quiescent between 2009 and 2014, average sp...
Optical imaging and spectroscopic observation of the galactic supernova remnant G85.9-0.6 GÖK, FATMA; Sezer, A.; Aktekin, E.; Guever, T.; Ercan, N. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-11-01) Optical CCD imaging with H alpha and [SII] filters and spectroscopic observations of the galactic supernova remnant G85.9-0.6 have been performed for the first time. The CCD image data are taken with the 1.5 m Russian-Turkish Telescope (RTT150) at TBA degrees TAK National Observatory (TUG) and spectral data are taken with the Bok 2.3 m telescope on Kitt Peak, AZ.
Recent timing studies on RXTE observations of 4U 1538-52 Baykal, Altan; Beklen, E. (EDP Sciences, 2006-07-01) The high mass X-ray binary pulsar 4U 1538-52 was observed between July 31 and August 7, 2003. Using these observations, we determined new orbital epochs for both circular and elliptical orbit models. The orbital epochs for both orbit solutions agreed with each other and yielded an orbital period derivative. P/P = (0.4 +/- 1.8) x 10(-6) yr(-1). This value is consistent with the earlier measurement P/P = (2.9 +/- 2.1) x 10(-6) yr(-1) at the 1 sigma level and gives only an upper limit to the orbital period dec...
