It was observed in outburst many times, but its quiescent state is still poorly known. Here we present the results of XMM-Newton, Swift, and Chandra observations of IGRJ18483-0311. These data improved the X-ray position of the source, and provided new information on the timing and spectral properties of IGR J18483-0311 in quiescence. We report the detection of pulsations in the quiescent X-ray emission of this source, and give for the first time a measurement of the spin-period derivative of this source. In IGRJ18483-0311 the measured spin-period derivative of -(1.3+-0.3)x10^(-9) s/s likely results from light travel time effects in the binary. We compare the most recent observational results of IGRJ18483-0311 and SAXJ1818.6-1703, the two supergiant fast X-ray transients for which a similar orbital period has been measured.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2009-05-29T16:00:51.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "supergiant fast x-ray transient", "chandra observations", "xmm-newton", "quiescence", "light travel time effects" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1111/j.1365-2966.2009.15174.x", "journal": "Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society", "year": 2009, "month": "Oct", "volume": 399, "number": 2, "pages": 744 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 821690, "adsabs": "2009MNRAS.399..744G" } } }
