We report on Chandra, Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), Swift/Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and MAXI observations of an X-ray flare of ∼1 d and subsequent outburst of a transient X-ray source observed in 2011 October–November in the globular cluster Terzan 5. We show that the source is the same...

We report the discovery of X-ray pulsations at 105.2 Hz (9.5 ms) from the transient X-ray binary IGR J16597–3704 using NuSTAR and Swift. The source was discovered by INTEGRAL in the globular cluster NGC 6256 at a distance of 9.1 kpc. The X-ray pulsations show a clear Doppler modulation that...

The paper “Disc-Jet Coupling in the Terzan 5 Neutron Star X-ray Binary EXO 1745−248” was published as Tetarenko et al. 2016, MNRAS, 460, 345–355. In Section 3.3 of the paper there is a minor error in equation (1). The correct equation is as follows, (logLR−logLR,c)=logξ+β(logLX−logLX,c). (1) The...

When neutron stars reside in transient X-ray binaries, their crustal layers become heated during accretion outbursts and subsequently cool in quiescence. Observing and modelling this thermal response has yielded valuable insight into the physics of neutron star crusts. However, one unresolved...
