The X-ray Halo of Cen X-3 (2008)
Thompson, Thomas W. J., Rothschild, Richard E.
Using two Chandra observations we have derived estimates of the dust distribution and distance to the eclipsing high mass X-ray binary (HMXB) Cen X-3 using the energy-resolved dust-scattered X-ray...
Thompson, Thomas W. J., Galloway, Duncan K., Rothschild, Richard E., Homer, Lee
The low-mass X-ray binary GS 1826-238 is presently unique for its consistently regular bursting behavior. In previous Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) measurements between 1997 November and 2002...
The Orbit of the Eclipsing X-ray Pulsar EXO 1722-363 (2006)
Thompson, Thomas W. J., Tomsick, John A., Rothschild, Richard E., Walter, Roland
With recent and archival Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) X-ray measurements of the heavily obscured X-ray pulsar EXO 1722-363 (IGR J17252-3616), we carried out a pulse timing analysis to determine...
Geometrical Distance Determination using Type I X-ray Bursts (2006)
Thompson, Thomas W. J., Rothschild, Richard E., Tomsick, John A.
With the excellent angular resolution of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, it is possible to geometrically determine the distance to variable Galactic sources, based on the phenomenon that scattered...
