THE SPECTRAL EVOLUTION ALONG THE Z TRACK OF THE BRIGHT NEUTRON STAR X-RAY BINARY GX 17+2

THE SPECTRAL EVOLUTION ALONG THE Z TRACK OF THE BRIGHT NEUTRON STAR X-RAY BINARY GX 17+2

Z sources are bright neutron star X-ray binaries, accreting at around the Eddington limit. We analyze the 68 RXTE observations (~270 ks) of Sco-like Z source GX 17+2 made between 1999 October 3 and 12, covering a complete Z track. We create and fit color-resolved spectra with a model consisting of a...
