We report RXTE results of spectral analyses of three (Sco X-1, GX 349+2, and Cyg X-2) out of the 6 known Z sources, with emphasis in the hard X-ray emission. No hard X-ray tails were found for Cyg X-2 (< 8.4E-5 photons cm**-2 s**-1, 50-100 keV, 3 sigma) and for GX 349+2 (< 7.9E-5 photons cm**-2 s**-1, 50-100 keV, 3 sigma). For Sco X-1 a variable hard X-ray tail (with an average flux of 2.0E-3 photons cm**-2 s**-1, 50-100 keV) has already been reported. We compare our results to reported detections of a hard component in the spectrum of Cyg X-2 and GX 349+2. We argue that, taking into account all the results on detections of hard X-ray tails in Sco X-1 and GX 349+2, the appearance of such a component is correlated with the brightness of the thermal component.
We have analyzed the long pointed observations of the Z sources in the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer (RXTE) public archive to study the high energy emission in those sources. Our analysis is concentrated on the High Energy X--Ray Timing Experiment (HEX
We report the detection of a non-thermal hard X-ray component from Sco X-1 based upon the analysis of 20-220 keV spectra obtained with the HEXTE experiment on-board the RXTE satellite. We find that the addition of a power-law component to a thermal b
Magnetars persistent emission above 10 keV was recently discovered thanks to the imaging capabilities of the IBIS coded mask telescope on board the INTEGRAL satellite. The only two sources that show some degree of long term variability are SGR 1806-2
This paper reports on the re-analysis of solar flares in which the hard X-rays (HXRs) come predominantly from the corona rather than from the more usual chromospheric footpoints. All of the 26 previously analyzed event time intervals, over 13 flares,
We have monitored with the RXTE PCA the variability pattern of the 2-20 keV flux in four PG quasars (QSOs) from the Laor et al. (1994) sample. Six observations of each target at regular intervals of 1 day were performed. The sample comprises objects
