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 associated with their bursts, glitches or flaring activities. We discover band-limited red noise in 1E 2259+586 only for about two years after its outburst and the associated glitch. The system shows no broad-band noise otherwise. The other three AXPs indicate a lower band-limited noise level in comparison with 1E 2259+586 and it is persistent, but show variations. We favour a model where this broad-band noise particularly as detected in 1E 2259+586 is related to the Compton scattering of thermal photons in the magnetar corona and thus reveal coronal time scales and activity.

The broad-band noise characteristics of selected cataclysmic variables (CVS), anomalous x-ray pulsars (AXPS) and soft gamma repeaters (SGRS)
Külebi, Baybars; Balman, Şölen; Department of Physics (2006)
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...
The re-analysis of the ROSAT data of Nova Mus 1983 using white dwarf atmosphere emission models
Balman, Şölen; Krautter, J (2001-10-01)
The analyses of X-ray emission from classical novae during the outburst stage have shown that the soft X-ray emission below 1 keV, which is thought to originate from the photosphere of the white dwarf, is inconsistent with the simple blackbody model of emission. Thus, ROSAT Position Sensitive Proportional Counter (PSPC) archival data of the classical Nova Mus 1983 (GQ Mus) have been re-analysed in order to understand the spectral development in the X-ray wavelengths during the outburst stage. The X-ray spec...
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...
The emission nebula associated with V1974 Cygni: a unique object?
Casalegno, R; Orio, M; Mathis, J; Conselice, C; Gallagher, J; Balman, Şölen; Della Valle, M; Homeier, N; Ogelman, H (2000-09-01)
Through a program of narrow band imaging, we have observed the changing structure of the H alpha emission line around Nova Cyg 1992 (V1974 Cyg) at regular intervals from 1996 to 1999. Between 1994 and 1996, the nebular boundary advanced to the southwest at nearly the speed of light, implying that the nebula was created by an expanding wave of radiation originating in the explosion interacting with surrounding material. The expansion speed dropped to 0.35c during 1996-1999. We have taken spectra of the nebul...
A study of selected low-mass X-ray binary dip sources observed with INTEGRAL
Balman, Şölen (2007-08-17)
I present archival data of the dipping LMXB systems, XB 1916-053, XB 1323-619, X1624-490, and 4U 1746-371obtained by the ISGRI and JEM-X detectors on-board the INTEGRAL Observatory. The spectral parameters derived from the fits to the data are consistent with hot coronal regions in these systems where the electron temperatures are in a range 4.9-18.8 keV with the exception of XB 1323-62 having an unbounded temperature. The optical depth to Compton scattering, tau is low and consistent with electron densitie...
