We report on an approximately twelve hour long X-ray flare from the low-mass X-ray binary KS 1731-260. The flare has a rise time of less than 13 min and declines exponentially with a decay time of 2.7 hours. The flare emission is well…

During the operational life of the Italian/Dutch X-ray satellite (1996-2002), BeppoSAX, its two Wide Field Cameras performed observations that covered the full sky at different epochs. Although the majority of analysis performed on BeppoSAX…

In many X-ray point sources on the sky, the X-ray emission arises because hydrogen and/or helium is accreted onto a neutron star from a nearby donor star. When this matter settles on the neutron star surface, it will undergo nuclear fusion.…
