The progress of Low-Mass X-ray binary monitoring program 陳炳志 許瑞榮 蘇漢宗 成功大學物理系 天文實驗室 周翊 黃崇源 中央大學天文所 Outlines Scientific motivation The collaboration with Yale 2002 Summer visiting and 4U1543-47 Current status at NCKU Monitoring targets and observation Data archive Data reduction and automatic photometry pipeline Web-based photometry database Preliminary result — V616 Mon and GRO J0422+32 On-going work and perspectives Scientific motivation Sometimes, an X-ray binary star could be ignited dramatically by 8-magnitude which we call “outburst” →Target of opportunity(TOO). Some outbursts will occur repeatedly but almost irregularly, and they were referred as recursive novae. In the outburst state, multi-wavelength light curves are excellent probes to explore the structure of the accretion disk and mass transfer between components. Scientific motivation The luminosity can reach a maximum in few days, but declines gradually to quiescence state in few weeks or few months. →It’s essential to have observation facility to response to the outburst alert and to perform follow-up. Some outbursts occur repeatedly but irregularly.→ Need to monitor these known X-ray binaries continuously and globally. 2002 Summer Visiting Go through real observation data before LOT routine operation Discuss the scientific strategy and collaboration platform on this 2-sites monitoring work Major work: 2002 outburst of 4U1543-47 (observed by MSO 74in reflector which was burned on a wildfire of Jan. 19 2003!) Targets to be monitored Observation at LOT Observed targets V616 Mon: 12 nights (11/26, 12/1-12/6, 12/13-12/14, 1/1, 1/23, 1/25) XTE J1118+480: 10 nights (12/1-12/3, 1/24, 1/29-1/31, 2/6, 2/9, 2/10) 4U2129+47: 1 night (11/09) GRO J0422+32: 2 night (11/26, 1/25), 1/25: Fast photometry Data Archive Transfer data to download area by ftp in next morning (30~40KB/s). Copy to archive area and carry out bias/dark/flat calibration, remove matterless files. Backup to DVD-R when download area occupati
