RXTE Discoveries

• Soft Gamma Repeater found to be an X-ray Pulsar with a Superstrong Magnetic Field Chryssa Kouveliotou uncovers pulsation period and its derivative suggesting spindown due to a magnetic field about 100 times stronger than those of radio pulsars.

• Pulsars in the SMC: Serendipitous detections cluster near SMC X-3. Jim Lochner and RXTE team members uncover a plethora of transient pulsars.

• Old Faithful X-ray Binary: Geyser in the Sky Multiwavelength observations indicate that tremendous quantity of mass is ejected from the jets of this Black Hole X-ray binary each half hour cycle.

• Frame Dragging Near Suspected Black Holes. Wei Cui looks for evidence of precession of accretion disks due to general relativistic dragging of inertial frames near spinning black holes.
