Possible Magnetic Activity in the Low Mass X-ray Binary EXO 0748-676 (2007)
Wolff, Michael T., Wood, Kent S., Ray, Paul S.
We report evidence of magnetic activity associated with the secondary star in the EXO 0748-676 low mass X-ray binary system. An analysis of a sequence of five consecutive X-ray eclipses observed...
A Strong X-Ray Burst from the Low Mass X-Ray Binary EXO0748-676 (2005)
Wolff, Michael T., Becker, Peter A., Ray, Paul S., Wood, Kent S.
We have observed an unusually strong X-ray burst as a part of our regular eclipse timing observations of the low mass binary system EXO0748-676. The burst peak flux was 5.2x10^-8 ergs cm^-2 s^-1,...
X-Ray Eclipse Timing in the LMXB EXO0748-676 (2004)
Wolff, Michael T., Ray, Paul S., Wood, Kent S.
Orbital period changes are an important diagnostic for understanding low mass X-ray binary (LMXB) accretion-induced angular momentum exchange and overall system evolution. We present our most recent...
Quantum Dynamics of Small-Size Triplet Superconductors with Broken Time-Reversal Symmetry (2002)
Gulian, Armen M., Wood, Kent S.
Symmetry of the order parameter in some triplet superconductors corresponds to doubly-degenerate chiral states. We predict that in a sufficiently small sample this degeneracy can be lifted via...
Triplet Superconductors from the Viewpoint of Basic Elements for Quantum Computers (2002)
Gulian, Armen M., Wood, Kent S.
We discuss possibilities of utilizing superconductors with Cooper condensates in triplet pairing states (where the spin of condensate pairs is S=1) for practical realization of quantum computers....
Observation of X-ray variability in the BL Lac object 1ES1959+65 (2002)
Giebels, Berrie, Bloom, Elliott D., Focke, Warren, Godfrey, Gary, Madejski, Greg, Reilly, Kaice T., ...
This paper reports X-ray spectral observations of a relatively nearby z = 0.048 BL Lacertae (BL Lac) object 1ES1959+650, which is a potential TeV emitter. The observations include 31 short pointings...
Disk Diffusion Propagation Model for the Outburst of XTE J1118+480 (2001)
Wood, Kent S., Titarchuk, Lev, Ray, Paul S., Wolff, Michael T., Lovellette, Michael N., Bandyopadhyay, Reba M.
We present a linear diffusion model for the evolution of the double-peaked outburst in the transient source XTEJ1118+480. The model treats the two outbursts as episodic mass deposition at the outer...
A Fourier Transform MIcroscope for X-Ray and/or Gamma-Ray Imaging. (1998)
A Fourier transform microscope for use in imaging a source of x-ray and/or gamma-ray radiation includes first and second grids arranged in proximity to the source. The first grid includes an...
Fourier Transform Microscope for X-Ray and/or Gamma-Ray Imaging. (1998)
A Fourier transform microscope for use in imaging a source of x ray and/or gamma ray radiation includes first and second grids arranged in proximity to the source. The first grid includes an...
Wood, Kent S., Michelson, Peter F., Roberts, Mallory S.
We present a modified beat-frequency modulated accretion model appropriate to a description of the horizontal branch oscillations of Z-type low-mass x-ray binaries. This model incorporates several...
Paul Hertz, Kent S. Wood, Lynn Cominsky
EXO 0748-676, an eclipsing low mass X-ray binary, is one of only 4 or 5 low mass X-ray binaries for which orbital period evolution has been reported. We observed a single eclipse egress with ROSAT ....
