The burster and dipper Low Mass X-ray Binary (LMXB) 4U1915-05 (also known as XB1916-053) was observed by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) 19 times for a total exposure of 140 ks between 1996 February and October. Here we report on the…

We have discovered a 7.06+-0.08 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the X-ray flux of the low-luminosity low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) and atoll source 4U 1820-30. This QPO was only observable at the highest observed mass accretion rate,…

We present new results based on observations carried out with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer during the decay of an outburst of the low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) and atoll source 4U 1608-52. Our results appear to resolve, at least in 4U…

We present results of Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (XTE) observations of the atoll source 4U 1702-429 in the middle of its luminosity range. Kilohertz-range quasiperiodic oscillations (QPOs) were observed first as a narrow (FWHM ~7 Hz) peak…

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 the results of detailed spectral studies of the ultra-compact low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1820-30 carried out with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) during 1996-7. 4U 1820-30 is an ``atoll'' source X-ray burster (XRB)…

We have discovered a ~1 Hz quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in the persistent X-ray emission and during type I X-ray bursts of the globular cluster source, dipper and low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) 4U 1746-37. The QPO properties resemble…

We present results of RXTE observations of the low-mass X-ray binary and atoll source 4U 1608$-$52 made over 9 days during the decline of an X-ray intensity outburst in March 1996. A fast-timing analysis shows a strong and narrow quasi…
