This is seen as a brief period of enhanced absorption during one of the bright, fast flares that distinguish these systems. The object under study was IGR J17544-2619, and a total of 236 ks of data were accumulated with the Japanese satellite Suzaku. The activity in this period spans a dynamic range of almost 10000 in luminosity and gives a detailed look at SFXT behavior.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2009-10-16T07:56:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supergiant fast x-ray transient", "clumpy winds", "first direct evidence", "japanese satellite suzaku", "dense clumps" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "The Astrophysical Journal", "year": 2009, "month": "Dec", "volume": 707, "number": 1, "pages": 243 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 817499, "adsabs": "2009ApJ...707..243R" } } }
