We report the discovery of narrow Fe XXV and Fe XXVI K alpha X-ray absorption lines at 6.65 and 6.95 keV in the persistent emission of the dipping low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) XB 1916-053 during an XMM-Newton observation performed in…
Until now, the spectral changes observed from persistent to dipping intervals in dipping low-mass X-ray binaries were explained by invoking progressive and partial covering of an extended emission region. Here, we propose a novel and…
We report the detection of narrow Fe XXV and Fe XXVI X-ray absorption lines at 6.68 +/- 0.04 keV and 6.97 +/- 0.05 keV in the persistent emission of the dipping low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1323-62 during a 2003 January XMM-Newton observation.…
We report the discovery of narrow X-ray absorption features from the two dipping low-mass X-ray binary 4U 1916-053 and X 1254-690 during XMM-Newton observations. The features detected are identified with resonant scattering absorption lines…
We report on two XMM-Newton observations of the low-mass X-ray binary X 1254-690. During an XMM-Newton observation of the low-mass X-ray binary in 2001 January a deep X-ray dip was seen while in a second observation one year later no dips…
We present the spectral analysis of a large set of XMM-Newton observations of EXO 0748-676, a bright dipping LMXB. In particular, we focus on the dipping phenomenon as a result of changes in the properties of the ionised gas close to the…
We report the discovery of narrow X-ray absorption features from the dipping low-mass X-ray binary X 1624-490 during an XMM-Newton observation in 2001 February. The features are identified with the K alpha absorption lines of Fe xxv and Fe…
We report the discovery of narrow X-ray absorption lines from the low-mass X-ray binary MXB1659-298 during an XMM-Newton observation in 2001 February. The 7.1 hr orbital cycle is clearly evident with narrow X-ray eclipses preceded by…
Dipping neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries (NS LMXBs) are systems that exhibit periodic drops in their X-ray light curves. These are believed to be caused by material at the impact point of the gas stream onto the accretion disk, the…
(abridged) We analyzed the archived XMM-Newton observation of the poorly studied low-mass X-ray binary XTE J1710-281 performed in 2004 that covered one orbital period of the system (3.8 hr). The source shows dips as well as eclipses, hence…
During a BeppoSAX observation of the low-mass X-ray binary dip source XB 1323-619 a total of 10 type I X-ray bursts and parts of 12 intensity dips were observed. During non-bursting, non-dipping intervals, the 1-150 keV BeppoSAX spectrum…
We present results from analysis of the observation of the dipping, quasi-periodic bursting LMXB XB 1323-619 made with XMM-Newton in Jan., 2003. A number of absorption lines were discovered in the spectrum, notably at 6.70 and 6.98 keV…
We present results of an observation with Suzaku of the dipping, periodic bursting low mass X-ray binary XB 1323-619. Using the energy band 0.8 - 70 keV, we show that the source spectrum is well-described as the emission of an extended…
We report on the evolution of the X-ray emission of the accreting neutron star (NS) low mass X-ray binary (LMXB), MXB 1659-298, during its most recent outburst in 2015-2017. We detected 60 absorption lines during the soft state (of which 21…
We detect dipping activity/modulations in the light curve of the four LMXBs in the 3--10 keV and 20--40 keV energy ranges. The spectral parameters derived from the fits to the INTEGRAL data are consistent with hot coronal structures in…
We have analysed data from five XMM-Newton observations of XB 1254-69, one of them simultaneous with INTEGRAL, to investigate the mechanism responsible for the highly variable dips durations and depths seen from this low-mass X-ray binary.…
The advent of the new generation of X-ray telescopes yielded a significant step forward in our understanding of ionised absorption generated in the accretion discs of X-ray binaries. It has become evident that these relatively weak and…
We present an analysis of XMM-Newton light curves of the dipping, bursting, and eclipsing low-mass X-ray binary EXO 0748-676, focusing on the variability on time scales of seconds to hours. The observed variability can be roughly divided in…
Low-mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) are a natural workbench to study accretion disk phenomena and optimal background sources to measure elemental abundances in the Interstellar medium (ISM). In high-resolution XMM-Newton spectra, the LMXB SAX…
Low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) occasionally show signs of outflowing material from the accretion disk. Studying these outflows can inform the understanding of the geometry of the systems, as well as the dynamics and energetics of…
