A STRONGLY HEATED NEUTRON STAR IN THE TRANSIENT Z SOURCE MAXI J0556-332

A STRONGLY HEATED NEUTRON STAR IN THE TRANSIENT Z SOURCE MAXI J0556-332

We present Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift observations of the quiescent neutron star in the transient low-mass X-ray binary MAXI J0556-332. Observations of the source made during outburst (with the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer) reveal tracks in its X-ray color-color and hardness-intensity diagrams th...
