| Title: | Analysis of RXTE PCA Observations of SMC X-1 |
| Abstract: | We will present timing and spectral analysis of RXTE observations of SMC X-1 between 1996 and 2003. From obsevations, we obtain a precise timing solution for the source and resolve first time the eccentricity as 0.00089(6). We also show that frequency derivative shows long and short term fluctuations. From the spectral analysis, we found that all spectral parameters except Hydrogen column density showed no significant variation with X-ray flux. Hydrogen column denisty is found to be higher as X-ray flux gets lower. |
