A Decade Of Timing An Accretion-Powered Millisecond Pulsar: The Continuing Spin Down And Orbital Evolution Of Sax J1808.4–3658

A Decade Of Timing An Accretion-Powered Millisecond Pulsar: The Continuing Spin Down And Orbital Evolution Of Sax J1808.4–3658

The Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer has observed five outbursts from the transient 2.5 ms accretion-powered pulsar SAX J1808.4–3658 during 1998-2008. We present a pulse timing study of the most recent outburst and compare it with the previous timing solutions. The spin frequency of the source continues...
