X-ray And Optical Observations Of High Mass X-ray BinariesBeklen, Elif 01 January 2010 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis, X-ray and optical observations of accretion powered pulsars are presented.
By using archival RXTE observations we work on the X-ray spectral and pulse timing
analysis of 4U 1538-52, 4U 1907+09, SMC X-1 to have more detailed information about their orbital and spin parameters.
For 4U 1538-52 and SMC X-1, we determined new orbital epochs.
By using long term pulse history of 4U 1907+09, we were able to work spin-down trend of the system and also calculate the change in the spin-down rate.
Using Fermi/GBM observations we can monitor bright accreting pulsar systems. We are producing long term
histories of pulse frequency and
flux of 20 continuosly monitoring systems.
Adding Swift/BAT observations to GBM observations, for 4U 1626-67, we did reveal the characteristics belong to spin-down trend before and
spin-up behaviour after torque reversal seen in 2008 February.
Two newly discovered IGRJ06074+2205 and IGRJ01583+6713 sources are identified as X-ray binary systems and we found
parameters of them like distance, magnitudes, by using both optical photometric and spectroscopic observations.
