A continuous flaring- to normal-branch transition in Sco X-1.

CASELLA P., BELLONI T. and STELLA L.

Abstract (from CDS):

We report the first resolved rapid transition from a Flaring Branch Oscillation to a Normal Branch Oscillation in the RXTE data of the Z source Sco X-1. The transition took place on a time scale of ∼100s and was clearly associated to the Normal Branch-Flaring Branch vertex in the color-color diagram. We discuss the results in the context of possible association of the Normal Branch Oscillation with other oscillations known both in Neutron-Star and Black-Hole systems, concentrating on the similarities with the narrow 4-6Hz oscillations observed at high flux in Black-Hole Candidates.
