Descripción
We have used data from the Joint European Monitor (JEM-X) to perform an
X-ray spectral and timing analysis of the 42-s transient pulsar EXO
2030+375 during an X-ray outburst. X-ray pulsations are clearly detected
with an average pulse period of 41.66+/-0.05 s and an average pulse
fraction of 60%. The profile of the energy spectrum did not change
appreciably throughout the X-ray outburst, although the source shows a
slightly softer spectrum during periastron passage in the energy range
9-25 keV. The 5-25 keV X-ray luminosity changed by a factor of 2
throughout the observations, reaching a maximum value of 3 x
1036 erg s-1. These observations allowed us to
verify the in-flight instrumental properties of the JEM-X Monitor.
Based on observations with INTEGRAL, an ESA project with instruments and
science data centre funded by ESA member states (especially the PI
countries: Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Switzerland, Spain), Czec
Republic and Poland, and with the participation of Russia and the USA.
