A Double Outburst from IGR J00291+5934: Implications for Accretion Disk Instability Theory

The accretion-powered millisecond pulsar IGR J00291+5934 underwent two ~10 day long outbursts during 2008, separated by 30 days in quiescence. Such a short quiescent period between outbursts has never been seen before from a neutron star X-ray transient. X-ray pulsations at the 599 Hz spin frequency...
