Burst Example

This page shows an example page for a burst. Under development

SLX 1737-282

This page displays the lightcurve and parameters in MINBAR DR1 for this event (Galloway et al. 2020).

This plot shows the segment of the 1-s binned lightcurve surrounding the event. Shaded regions indicate the error range for the count rate. The plot is resizeable; just click and drag on the figure area with the mouse. Double-click to restore the original shape. The figure in the box at the lower-left is the window size for the rolling average

Time-resolved spectroscopy

This is not time-resolved spectroscopy of the above burst, but is included to demonstrate what the plot would look like if available

⚠ (:html:) <script type="text/javascript" src="uploads/dygraph.min.js"></script> <div id="graphdiv5" style="width:500px; height:320px;"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> g5 = new Dygraph( document.getElementById("graphdiv5"), "uploads/MINBAR/dygraphs_02093.csv", { errorBars: true, drawPoints: true, // labelsDivWidth: 100, // labelsSeparateLines: true, xlabel: 'Time (s)', series: { 'kT': { axis: 'y2' }, 'K_bb': { axis: 'y2' } }, axes: { // Primary (flux) axis y: { //valueRange: [0,30], independentTicks: true}, // secondary (radius & kT) axis y2: { //valueRange: [0,10000], independentTicks: true, drawGrid: true, gridLinePattern: [4,4] } }, colors: ['#2d660f','#5a0907','#62919e'], //redundant options // axisLabelWidth: 100, // y-labels don't get rotated for some reason // ylabel: 'Flux (1e-9 erg/cm^2/s', // y2label: 'K_bb', legend: 'always' } ); </script> (:htmlend:)

The figure shows the results of time-resolved spectroscopic analysis. The estimated bolometric flux is plotted as green symbols & line, in units of 10^-9 erg cm^-2 s^-1 (inner left-hand y-scale). The blackbody temperature kT is shown as purple symbols & line (right-hand y-axis, units of keV) and the normalisation as the aqua symbols & line (outermost left-hand y-scale, units of R²/d², where R is the emitting radius in km, and d the distance to the source in units of 10 kpc).

This version of the data now includes deadtime correction (see http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/docs/xte/recipes/pca_deadtime.html) and has the updated effective area of the v11.7 responses (see http://www.universe.nasa.gov/xrays/programs/rxte/pca/doc/rmf/pca-arf-2011

All uncertainties are at 1-sigma (68%) confidence. Note that the time value specifies the MIDPOINT of the time bin
