The solar-activity-cycle minimum observed between Cycles 23 and 24 is generally regarded as being unusually deep and long. That minimum is being followed by one of the smallest amplitude cycles in recent history. We perform an in-depth…

We discovered a single kHz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) near 1150 Hz in the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer X-ray light curve of the low mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 1735-44. The rms amplitude of this peak was 2-3%, and the FWHM…

We present evidence for Quasi-Periodic Oscillations (QPOs) in the recurrent outburst emission from the soft gamma repeater SGR 1806-20 using NASA's Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) observations. By searching a sample of 30 bursts for…
